Outlook: Hyde Park has the potential to break up Curie’s streak of eight straight conference titles. The other teams have great individual players but are a notch below the top two.
The top five: Wayne Blackshear, Curie, F, so.; Anthony Dixon, Hyde Park, F, sr.; Malcolm Griffin, Hyde Park, G, sr.; Jerome Moore, Hyde Park, F, sr.; Lashane Purdy, Robeson, G, jr.
Keep an eye on: Dennis Hodges, Curie, F, jr. Did you know? Former Hyde Park assistant coach Marvell Newsome is head coach at Harper and former Hyde Park head coach Charlie Sales is his assistant.
Quote: ‘‘This is going back to the old days of the Red-Central, where if you don’t come to play every game, you are going to be in serious trouble.’’ — Robeson coach Danny Spencer
Prediction: Curie, Hyde Park, Hope, Robeson, Dunbar, Harper, Hubbard, Kenwood, King, Lindblom.
