Does our area's best prep boys basketball team ever get to relax?
Geez. Even after clinching the Central Suburban League South Division title and routing highly-regarded neighborhood rival North Chicago in the same week, the road ahead for Waukegan High's boys basketball team is still filled with landmines.
Consider what's ahead:
1) Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the regular-season game of the year: Zion-Benton at Waukegan in a battle of the area's two best teams.
2) A Feb. 21 game at Evanston which now has the services of would-be all-state player Nik Garcia, who scored 30-something in a blowout win last week.
3) The Feb. 25 Central Suburban League Championship Game at home against CSL North Division champ and super-power Glenbrook North. This could be a preview of the March Madness Class 4A Round of 8 super-sectional game in Hoffman Estates
4) A Feb. 27 game against Catholic League powerhouse Loyola, which also holds a win over North Chicago.
And that's all BEFORE the Waukegan Sectional, where Zion-Benton, Schaumburg, Warren, Lake Forest, Hoffman Estatest and Conant are all lurking.
Clearly, the Dogs will be tourney tested when the March Madness tourney begins.

Time for you to start eating some Crow Bagnato, as Zion thoroughly dominated Waukegan after trailing by 10 early on. You jumped off the Zion bandwagon too early. The sectional will be tough, but clearly Zion's veteran team is peaking at the right time.
Z.I.G.T.W.T.S.T I.G It. Mark it down.

Why do college coaches continue to sleep on Ronald Steward? He was unstoppable tonight. Hope you are right, Horatio.
Waukegan the best prep boys basketball team? This is a joke...right?
Zion handed them a painful defeat...in the Dawg Pound.
ZB fans will be waiting for your retraction.
