First night in the Tournament of Champions in Washington

Game 1 - Wisconsin signee Ethan Happ scored 30 pts (one site said 31) & had 15 rebs to lead Rockridge to a 63-48 win over Michigan City Marquette

Game 3 - Brookfield Central clobbers Richwoods 79-47 - ex-BU recruit and Venderbilt signee Riley LaChance had 24 pts. Richwoods' Damian Gillespie had 17.

Minor correction:
The O'Fallon/Washington halftime score was 30-17.
43-17 was the halftime score of Brookfield/Richwoods.

thx for the correction - was following tweets - musta read it wrong

Scores from Wednesday night

IVC 67 - Milwaukee North 54 - IVC's Riley Owens 27 pts, 9 rebs (PJS says 28 but official score on TOC website says 27 - do not know which is correct)

Manual 54 - Michigan City Marquette 42 - Manual's Javon Less 16

Euless (TX) Trinity 54 - Chatham Glenwood 47 - Peyton Allen had 24 pts & 13 rebs in a losing effort

N. Chicago 67 - Washington 58

Proviso East 65 - Baton Rouge Parkview Baptist 60 - Parkview's James thompson had 24


Then the PJS lists this score ...
Champaign Central 65 - Brookfield (WI) Central 33
..but this is totally wrong - this is Wayne McClain's high school coaching debut since leaving the Illini - and the correct score
is actually Brookfield 65 - Champaign Central 33 - as McClain says in the interview "we got drilled".
Brookfield's Riley LaChance had 30

Washington is as green as it gets, having two freshmen and two sophomores logging significant minutes, as well as football players just getting started. And they have three players listed at 5'8, including two starters, that can't be more than 5'6. The fact that they weren't blown out of the water both games speaks to Kevin Brown. It will be neat to see the team develop.

La Lumiere beats Christian Brothers 71-62 - ex-BU recruit Sam Logwood 24 pts

[tornado]

Peyton Allen had 34 points in Chatham Glenwood's loss to Parkview Baptist

O'Fallon has a kid that can score, Donovan Franklin 30 pts

In the Champaign Central game - Wayne McClain falls to 0-2 with a 58-45 loss to Sacramento Capitol Christian

We aren't mentioned as one of the schools already talking to Franklin.

Here is another kid that is under the radar right now that I think would be good for Bradley- 2015 shooting guard Trevor Stumpe of Plainfield North HS. He is 6'5", and a tremendous shooter.

Here are a couple older articles about him-

http://chicagohoops.hoops247.com/index.php/2011-08-04-18-06-26/866-stumpe-scores-37-talks-recruiting

He is averaging 35.7 points per game through his first 3 games, and put up 36 points in his game today against Seton Academy.

He also has a series of trick shot videos on YouTube from 2-4 years ago when he was in grade school-

I have just learned that Trevor Stumpe, a 2015 kid who is averaging over 35 points per game at Plainfield North HS, has a sister and a cousin who are currently students at Bradley.
I don't know if we are recruiting the kid, but I'd like to see a kid like this at Bradley.

Peyton Allen is averaging 25.3 ppg and already has 14 at half of their game in Washington

Peyton Allen ups his scoring average to 28 ppg- he'd look good in a Bradley uniform.

And another BU recruit, Darreon Reddick of Belleville East was named to the All Tournament team at the Centralia Thanksgiving Tournament.
