SAGES SUMMER BASKETBALL PROMISING

SAGES SUMMER BASKETBALL TEAM 20-3
The IHSA allows high school basketball coaches to have 25 contact days with their athletes during June and July. The 2005-2006 Sages will be young but apparently show promise. Monticello’s summer program is over. The team won tournaments at Auburn and Paxton-Buckley-Loda on their way to 20 wins and only 3 losses.
Summer leagues are not a true representation of schools complete basketball programs. Some players are not able to make every practice or game due to jobs, family vacations, etc.
Here is a list of the boys who did most of the participating for the Sages this summer: seniors, Matt Finet, Justin Ogelsby; juniors, Jonathon Dighton Jr, Ryan Koncel, Luke Marry, Caleb King; sophomores: Brent Rhodes, Trever Drake, Corbin Sebens, and Curtis Leischner.
