Scouting Benet vs. Downers Grove South
Class 4A Geneva regional final
No. 6 Downers South (18-9) vs. No. 3 Benet (23-3)
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday.
Outlook: After 6-foot-10 Frank Kaminsky poured in a personal-high 39 points in Tuesday's semifinals, there's no doubt where Downers South's defensive focus lies. Unlike Glenbard North, however, the Mustangs have the size to match up. It starts with 6-6 Bledi Dervishi and 6-8 Ziggy Riauka, who scored 12 points in a semifinal win over Geneva. The Mustangs have other physical post players to throw at Kaminsky, which could shift the focus to the backcourt. Benet's Dave Sobolewski can hurt teams in many different ways. He can knock down a 3-pointer, drive hard to the basket or distribute with the best of them. Also keep an eye on Matt Parisi beyond the arc. Downers South counters with an athletic trio in Mark Bentley along with sophomores Jamall Millison and Otis Wilbut.
