Belvidere North earns first win of the year
ROCKFORD -- Belvidere North, which had scored just 73 points total in three J-Hawk MLK Showcase losses, caught fire Monday afternoon and knocked off Rockford Lutheran, 63-60.
The win was the first of the year for the Blue Thunder. Rylen Kirk led the way with 18 points, including five three-pointers, and Sebastian Gutierrez added 15.
Belvidere North held a 63-60 lead when Kirk missed a free throw that could have clinched it. Lutheran hustled down and found Luke Harper open in the corner. Harper's three-point attempt was blocked by Gutierrez. Harper grabbed the rebound and passed to James Robinson, who made his three-point shot. It was waived off though because Lutheran coach Tom Guse called timeout before Robinson released the shot.
After the timeout, Kenneth Strawbridge took an off-balance three-pointer at the buzzer, which rimmed out.
Lutheran and Belvidere North each went 1-3 in the showcase.

Boylan shoots down Manual
ROCKFORD -- Zach Couper poured in 30 points to lead Boylan to an impressive 76-64 win over Peoria Manual.
The Rams roared out to an 8-2 lead in the first half, but Boylan adjusted to Manual's athleticism to take a 35-24 lead into halftime.

Luke McDermott added 14 points for Boylan, Anthony Foreman added 13 and Sam Fehrle had 11.
Peoria Manual star Da'Monte Williams was hampered by foul trouble all game and finished with just eight points. A.J. Youngman single-handedly kept the Rams in the game in the second half. Youngman scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half and made all five of Manual's three-point shots.

Upcoming J-Hawk MLK Showcase full of intriguing matchups
ROCKFORD -- The fourth annual J-Hawk MLK Showcase features a plethora of teams that could make deep runs when the IHSA playoffs begin.
Peoria Manual is the headliner of this year's showcase. The Rams, who are playing in the J-Hawk showcase for the first time, are 12-1. They are led by all-state candidate Da'Monte Williams, son of former University of Illinois star Frank Williams. Williams, a junior, already has received Division 1 scholarship offers from Illinois, Indiana and Cincinnati.
Peoria Manual won't play a full four-game schedule in the classic. The Rams have two games on Monday, Jan. 18, taking on Rockford Boylan at 10:30 a.m. and then the host Jefferson J-Hawks, who are off to a 10-7 start, at 6 p.m.
The 15-1 Titans not only get a chance to measure itself against Manual, but also have a matchup with Rockford Lutheran, an 11-3 Geneva team and a 9-4 Bloomington squad that features 6-6 forward Charles Payton. Payton, a junior, has scholarship offers from Nebraska, Illinois-Chicago and Southern Illinois and has made unofficial visits to Illinois and Indiana.
Deerfield at 11-3 is among the teams with strong postseason hopes. Unfortunately, Deerfield didn't draw a very difficult schedule in the showcase. Its top matchup is against Belvidere (7-7) Saturday afternoon.
Chicago Vocational also is highly regarded but is making just a cameo. The 10-3 Cavaliers play at 3 p.m. Saturday against a struggling Harlem team.
Like Boylan, the host J-Hawks have no pushovers either. Besides Manual, Jefferson plays Batavia, Bloomington and Geneva. The combined records of the J-Hawks' four opponents is 40-14.
The best time to catch most of the top teams is late Monday. Bloomington plays Belvidere at 4:30 p.m. Manual and Jefferson play at 6 p.m, then Boylan and Geneva cap off the tournament at 7:30 p.m.
