6th grade Basketball Team Looks Back on Successful Season
The West Chicago Blue Devils, an independent 6th grade travel basketball team, recently culminated an exciting and successful season. The team was made up of nine boys that will eventually feed a number of local high schools: West Chicago, Wheaton North, Glenbard North, St. Francis and Wheaton Academy. The team fielded an impressive 34-16 record and played in six tournamnet championship games with wins in five of them. Highlights include a two point overtime win in the Wheaton North tournament and a win in an unheard of quadruple overtime championship game in the Lisle Park District tournament. Head coach Nick Cooney and assistant coach Rick Seeman were able to inspire the boys by stressing team play and good sportsmanship.
