PEORIA — Billy Molinari will play college basketball for his father, Western
Illinois coach Jim Molinari!!

In a ceremony Monday morning at Peoria Christian School, Billy Molinari signed
his letter of intent.

Molinari was a consensus all-state selection following a senior season that
saw him average 19.6 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. He also became
PCS's all-time leading scorer with 1,601 career points.

Jim Molinari, who was Bradley's head coach from 1991-2002, is entering his
second year at WIU."


And from the WIU web site...
"All-time leading scorer in Peoria Christian HS history with 1,601 points"

** it has also been brought to my attention that Ryan Knuppel from Manito Midwest Central also ended his career with over 1800 points and
Manual's Curtis Stuckey was over 1600.

Remy Abell's team, Louisville Eastern, was scheduled to play a game tonight at Waggener HS (located in Louisville), but it was cancelled because of bad weather.

Davenport West won their game tonight at Pleasant Valley 53-46 in overtime-

http://qctimes.com/sports/stats/570e54b8-ec79-11df-9577-001cc4c03286.html

The win, coupled with a loss by Davenport Central, puts West into a tie for first place in the MAC with a 7-1 conference record.

[Da Coach]

Nate Wells had 14 points on 7 of 8 shooting.

[Da Coach]

Donivine Stewart had a game-high 21 points last night as Limestone lost at Metamora.

Donivine Stewart had a game-high 21 points last night as Limestone lost at Metamora.

D C yes he had 21 points but his play left alot to be desired. Not one of his better games and Metamoras guards had alot to do with that. There defense on DS was alot like the defense N.D.'s guards played on him.

[Da Coach]

I did not see the game, but from someone who did, Donivine's poor shooting night also had a lot to do with trying to force shots. He was double-teamed a lot but nobody else could make shots.

[shaunguth]

He was double-teamed a lot but nobody else could make shots.

Exactly........outside of DS, Limestone is not a very good team......think AW and this Bradley team.

With Remy as ostensibly the best player on a nationally ranked team is he an all american candidate?

[Da Coach]

He has been nominated for the McDonald's All American game, but hundreds of kids get nominated each year. Nate Wells and Donivine Stewart were also nominated. Remy's chances of getting selected are very small because of the quality of high school players nominated, and the far greater hype surrounding the 4 and 5-star players who are headed to the schools like Duke, UNC, Kansas, etc.
