How great is it that the kids in that school get to experience the excitement that comes with a run deep into the IHSA Class 3A basketball playoffs.
There is not another school in the county where the kids have to battle just to stay afloat like they have to do at NC High.
To see the kids get to experience this excitement and to see them having this much fun is very satisfying.
Win or lose next Tuesday night against state super-power Chicago Marshall, this hoops season is something the North Chicago kids will remember fondly for the rest of their lives.
And, say what you want about King Coleman not doing much X's and O's coaching, give the King credit for knowing that in crunch time, he's got to keep the ball in DeShawn Chambliss' hands.
The thing Chambliss does better than anyone this side of Zion-Benton's Rodney Clinkscales is hit free throws in crunch time. That's a credit to the kid ... and also to his teammates who are smart enough to make sure he has the ball in th end game.
North Chicago Is Going Down State So Tell Marshall We Coming On Tuesday
Good luck North Chicago Warhawks !
