Willowbrook Warriors

Coach Tim Lavorato.

Last year 12-16, 4-8, fifth in the West Suburban Gold; lost 77-53 to Naperville Central in the Class 4A Naperville Central regional semifinals.

Top players Eric Miller, sr., G; Graham Olatunji, sr., F; Jibril Jones, jr., G; Chris Lynch, sr., G; Kyle Leisering, sr., G; A.R. Damra, jr., G; Ryan Rader, so., F; Jake Golba, so., F; C.J. Thornton, so., G.

Scouting report After graduating three starters, including four-year player Kyler Market, the Warriors need to do some rebuilding. Miller started every game at point guard last year, and Lavorato believes he may be the program's best shooter in the last 12 years. Olatunji started a bunch of games as a junior. While the 6-3 forward is an established post player, Olatunji has worked hard to expand his game. Beyond Miller and Olatunji, little experience returns. Jones, brought up last year as a sophomore, and Thornton, one of three sophomores expected to contribute, deepen the backcourt and add to a mighty quick lineup. "We may take some lumps along the way, but I believe our upside is just huge," Lavorato said.
