Jalensdad2002 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 From Jerry Meyer of Rivals.com Kevin Lisch (6-foot-2, 175-pound point guard from Althoff High School in Belleville, Ill.) Lisch did not have the hot hand in Althoff’s overtime loss to Chicago Hales Franciscan, shooting 7 of 21 from the field and going 1 for 6 from the arc. Nonetheless, the physical and competitive point guard did everything else well. He grabbed 7 rebounds, played tenacious defense, fought for loose balls and did not turn the ball over. Players like Lisch, who is headed to Saint Louis, are the reason the top mid-major programs in the country can take down the high-majors on any given night.

Sheltiedave Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Thanks, Jalensdad.The beer last night tasted a little bitter, but we have the players coming in who can help Dwayne get the program to the level we desire again. I'm seeing a team on the floor that plays its heart out, gets with it on defense, and just can't shoot the flocking ball... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalensdad2002 Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Lisch did not have the hot hand in Althoff’s overtime loss to Chicago Hales Franciscan, shooting 7 of 21 from the field and going 1 for 6 from the arc. I couldn't believe Lisch would shoot so poorly. I did a little investigation and found this report from ilprepbullseye. They also had a nice mention of Jeremy Felton. I gotta make time and see these kids at Collinsville. Kevin Lisch 6'2 Sr. Belleville (Althoff) Although Lisch did not have a good shooting performance against Hales, going only 6-15 from the field, it is almost impossible to measure everything that Lisch brings to the table. In fact, there may not be a player in the state who brings more intangibles to his team. Lisch is as mentally tough as they come and is a fierce competitor. When it was all over Lisch wound up with 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. As we have said several times before, he is a great get for Brad Soderberg and the St. Louis Billikens. Jeremy Felton 6'6 So. Belleville (Althoff) Despite the fact that Althoff came up short against Hales, Felton was one of our favorite players that we saw at this year's Hoopfest. Felton is an absolute monster on the glass and has a mean streak that cannot be taught. He is a great finisher and a consistent scorer in the low post, and this showed to the tune of 16 points and 13 rebounds against Hales. Felton is also a good interior defender and shot blocker. If he develops a face up game, the sky will be the limit. Right now he is very close to ranking among the top five sophomores in Illinois.
