As we now near a month into the IHSA Basketball season there have been a few great storylines thus far.
12th ranked East Aurora (6-1) has soared up the rankings this season thanks in large part to four star Connecticut bound recruit Ryan Boatright. At just 5'10, 150 he has not only become one of the top players in the state, but also in the country.
Boatright is coming off back to back spectacular games in which he dropped 63 and 39 points respectively. He is listed as the 11th best Point Guard in the country as well as the 48th ranked player in the country.
East Aurora has to be considered a sleeper to go down state because of the superstar play from Boatright, however there are quite a few other teams who have to be mentioned.
Simeon is ranked number one in the state and after demolishing Wallace HS out of Gary,IN 85-38 on ESPNU, some question if Simeon will lose a game this season.
Two teams that I love a lot this year are the 10th ranked Glenbard East Rams and the 3rd ranked Benet Academy Red Wings.
Glenbard East is led by Zach Miller who is committed to Northern Illinois and Jon Hill who has committed to Illinois State.
Benet has arguably the best big man (listed at 7 feet) in the state as Frank Kaminsky has led the 3rd ranked Red Wings to an undefeated season so far.
There is still a long way to go in the basketball season, but make sure you stay tuned to sportstownchicago.com every Friday starting at 5pm as we have our weekly Friday Night Hoops show covering IHSA Basketball as well as college and professional sports.
