METRO SUBURBAN

Outlook: Riverside-Brookfield lost every starter to graduation, but you can’t discount winning 10 conference titles in a row and the sophomores going 22-2 overall and 12-0 in conference.

Top five players: Luke Nortier, Riverside-Brookfield, F, Sr.; Damonta Henry, R-B, G, Jr.; Andy Mazurczak, Ridgewood, G, Sr.; Dusko Despot, Glenbard South, F, Sr.; Danny Leach, Timothy Christian, G, Jr.

Keep an eye on: Julian Molina, Elmwood Park, G, Sr.

Did you know? Former Fenwick and UIC forward Jabari Harris is now the freshman coach at Timothy Christian.

Quote: “Julian Molina from Elmwood Park was tough for us to defend last year. I am sure he will be improved and even more difficult for us this year.” – Fenton coach Dennis Cromer

Predicted finish: Riverside-Brookfield, Ridgewood, Glenbard South, Timothy Christian, Illiana Christian, Elmwood Park, Fenton.
