orphanfan Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Kevin Lisch Heats Up, And Belleville Althoff Begins To Soar Ken Rhodes January 2, 2005 Email Questions/Comments To [email protected] Entering the 2004-2005 season, Belleville Althoff and Kevin Lisch were considered two of the best things Southern Illinois had to offer in the way of prep basketball. After dropping down from Class AA to Class A basketball, Althoff was considered the heavy favorite to represent southern region of Illinois, downstate at the Class A IHSA Tournament. Things were looking great for Althoff as four-year starter Kevin Lisch, who has signed to play for Saint Louis University, and Belleville Althoff receiving invites to two of the most prestigious shootouts(Marshall County Hoopfest, KMOX/ Shop-n- Save Shootout), in the country. Kevin Lisch and Althoff somewhat struggled under the bright lights as they dropped both of their shootout games. Althoff began the season with a record of 1 win and 2 losses. Most distressing was that Lisch was not putting up his usual offensive numbers. Lisch's struggles sent the once sleepy town of Belleville into a panic. All seems to be back in order as Kevin Lisch has gone on a six-game tear. As Lisch goes, so does Althoff, as they have won all 6 games. During this span, Kevin Lisch is averaging 31.6 points per game. Lisch's hot streak has seen him put a 15-point 4th quarter burst on Springfield Southeast, and an impressive 20-point 1st quarter effort vs East St Louis. No one in the Metro St. Louis area is playing better basketball than Kevin Lisch as he is currently averaging 26.7 ppg through 9 games. Lisch and Althoff will get a chance to redeem themselves on the big stage when they travel to Carbondale to take on the Terriers in a big time South 7 Conference game slated for Jan 7th.
