Sunday Basketball Showcase At EPCHS To Feature A Dozen Teams

EVERGREEN PARK, IL – Evergreen Park Community High School will host its annual Sunday Showcase on Feb. 6, welcoming boys basketball teams from 12 schools throughout Chicagoland with six games pitting public schools against private schools in intriguing match-ups.

The 2022 version will be the third Sunday Showcase hosted by EPCHS, Assistant Athletic Director and former Evergreen Park Mustangs Boys Basketball Head Coach Pat Flannigan said.

“I started this because for years as a head coach I had traveled around this state and others playing in shootouts, and my players always loved the experience,” Flannigan said. “So I decided to host one.”

The Sunday Showcase will begin at 11 a.m. with Richards High School taking on Lake Forest Academy, and continue with Lemont vs. St. Laurence at 12:30 p.m., Oak Lawn vs. Mount Carmel at 2 p.m., Evergreen Park vs. Marist at 3:30 p.m., Homewood-Flossmoor vs. Brother Rice at 5 p.m. and Oak Forest vs. Leo at 6:30 p.m.

“This year is the best field we have had, with some exciting public vs. private schools,” Flannigan said, noting the lineup of schools on tap for the shootout will include a number of NCAA Division I prospects.

Star players set to play that day include Simon Weisserman of Lake Forest Academy, Nojus Indrusaitis of Lemont, Deandre Craig of Mount Carmel, Davion Lawrence of Oak Lawn, Nolan Sexton of Evergreen Park, Ahmad Henderson of Brother Rice, Robbie Avila of Oak Forest and Jakeem Cole and Cameron Cleveland of Leo.
