Did anybody attend this game? Sounds like it was a great game. I wondered how Stewart & Simms-Edwards looked.

The Panthers (19-2, 11-0) had to put up so many points to offset the high 45 points scored by Limestone freshman Donivine Stewart.
The 6-foot guard, who entered the game as the league's leading scorer, surpassed his 23-point average with a pair of free throws with 1:12 left in the first half.
Stewart scored 17 points in the first quarter, helping the Rockets (15-6, 7-4) to an early 22-21 lead.
Judging from his point total, Stewart looked pretty good! Wish I would've went to that one!???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.??? Geno Ford, 9/22/12 -

Donivine Stewart was at last Wednesday's BU game and was at the UIUC-IU game Thursday as well. He is getting a lot of attention for a freshman, and I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg.Comment

I know of a couple of coworkers who attended this game. They all came away very impressed with Stewart. I have never seen Stewart play, but my coworkers told me that Steward has a nice fall away jump shot.Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™Comment

I went to the game....here's a quick analysis.
Matt Roth: He made 9-14 threes, which is rediculous. Many of these were from 2-3 ft beyond the arc. He rarely went inside, I bet he only had one or two shots inside the arc. He still scored 33 pts and was very very impressive. Anytime limestone got close to coming back, Roth would nail a three and the crowd would go nuts.
Dyricus Simms-Edwards: He had a relatively quiet 24 pts. He would drive to the hoop and the dish it to either Roth or Worner and that led to a lot of scoring.
Donavine Stewart: He scored a very quiet 45. He had the ball in his hands most of the game. He is clearly very talented, but everytime he had the ball he got fouled and shot free throws. He had to have at least 20 in the game, if not more. He missed a couple but shot fairly well from FT. He could take it in and get the hoop at will most of the time. If people collapsed on him, he would always find an open teammate for an easy score. He is really good and Bradley needs to go after him hard. I can beleive he's a freshman, he's even got a tatoo.
It was a very entertaining game. Limestone pressed the whole time which was annoying and led to a lot of turnovers and fast break pts for washington.____________________

If he is, he would likely not have four years of H.S. eligibiliy. I don't know the exact IHSA rule, but I do know there is an age limit.Originally posted by Murph View PostGet Well Massive Mike! "Once a Brave always a Brave!"Comment

He did play as an 8th grader last year and if he followed IESA rules, he could NOT have turned 16 before the end of the basketball season (in March),
so unless they have violated rules, he could not be 17. I do believe (based on other evidence I have heard) that Stewart is a bit older than the rest of his classmates.Comment
