Chasson RANDLE 22ppg 8 rebs 3asts 2 steals Rock Island HS 30-3 3A State Champs Schools 1st Boys Title in Basketball

And for the1st time in Illinois High School Basketball History......there will be CO-Mr. Basketball's in ILLINOIS.......and both of these young men are flat-out BALLERS....and can get it in BIG-TIME.

Let's take a closer look at the HOOPERS and the rest of the Mr. Basketball ILLINOIS Voting:

Ryan BOATRIGHT aka BOAT aka the BOAT SHOW: At 5-10 and about 165 depending on what Adidas Shoe he was wearing that day like the Derrick Rose AdiZERO or the Adidas Crazy 8 built for KOBE back in the DAY....the BOAT SHOW was made for VEGAS or Tinsel Town FA SHO.

The lightning quick guard from EAST AURORA Illinois High School located just 38 miles from Downtown Chicago going West was flat-out unguardable this season and everyone in his path paid dearly for trying to stop this kid one-on-one. Boat faced numerous double teams and triple teams and still went in on everyone involved. With high games of 63 vs Proviso West and 55 vs St Charles North.......and a robust and every shot contested 47 on the Relentless and powerful PEORIA HS ILLINOIS LIONS......it was simply entertainment at it's best.

Not voted for either the 2011 McDonald's All-American Game or the 2011 JORDAN BRAND All-American Classic.......the BOAT SHOW will make all the schedules stops from STORRS CONNECTICUT next year under Coaches CALHOUN, BLANEY, LAFLUER, and 13-year NBA VET Kevin OLLIE of LA Crenshaw HS, who played for Calhoun's HUSKIES 1991-95, who joined the staff this past season.

Joining BOAT as Mr. BASKETBALL of ILLINOIS is Chasson RANDLE of Rock Island HS ILLINOIS ROCKS who were Class 3A State CHAMPS as well. AT 6-1 170 with the ability to play Both Guard Positions as well as Being the COACH on the FLOOR. CHASE is simply the most well-rounded PLAYER in the STATE and he and BOAT did what their TEAMS and TEAMMATES ask them to do whether it was scoring, distributing, defending, rebounding, leading vocally or by example......these two young guys were there.

Heading to Coach Johnny DAWKINS and the HARVARD of the WEST.......the STANFORD CARDINALS......CHASE will be an immediate impact at STANFORD with Coach DAWKINS rumored to have him begin at the 2 Spot and working his way to the point.

Not so much a scorer like BOAT as he is just a true basketball player and competitor that gets after it on every possession. The 6-7 wingspan also helps on defense where he can just dominate from every angle on D.......on primary ball-handler, help side, in the middle of the press, weak side.........just dominant.

It also helps that CHASE is a 4.0 student.........that covers more angles than most.

The final VOTES of MR. BASKETBALL of ILLINOIS:
