Fred Heldring (6'10" C New Trier) "Don't Mess With Big Fred" Interview with Daniel Poneman
Fred Heldring (New Trier 2010) is the fuel that fires the Trevian engine. Teammate Alex Rossi may get most of the glamor and headlines, but none of that would be possible without Mr. Heldring pulling down boards, blocking shots, dropping dimes from the post, and setting hard picks for him night in and night out. The skilled big man has a high "basketball I.Q." but his I.Q....I.Q. is probably a good deal higher, as he is a straight A student and will be taking his game to the Patriot League next season where he will play ball for the highly prestigious College of William & Mary. To give you a little perspective on how smart this kid is (he was heavily recruited by Harvard)- the college he will attend is also the alma matter of three US presidents (Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and John Tyler) as well as US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall; though none of them could ball like big Fred. This past friday (1-29-10) Fred helped lead the Trevians to a big victory over their rival- the Evanston Wildkits; a win that strengthens New Trier's case as one of the elite teams in Illinois and as a legit state title contender. This video features some highlights of the game as well as a post game interview with the big man himself...for more information email DanielPoneman@gmail.com.
Alex Rossi (6'6" SG New Trier) "Everybody Loves Alex" Interview with Dan Poneman
Alex Rossi (6'6 SG - 2010) has been New Trier's golden boy ever since he first laced up his green and blue kicks three years ago as a freshman on the varsity squad. Alex, who is signed to play ball in the Pac 10 for the California Golden Bears, has had quite the illustrious career in his four years as a Trevian and he did nothing but add to his legacy this past friday night as he led his team to a win over arch-rival Evanston- their second win against the Wildkits this season. After the game I got a chance to catch up with Alex and talk about everything from the game (the 10th in his career against E-Town), to the New Trier fans, to who is the better student between him and his fellow division one bound teammate Fred Heldring. This video features that interview, some highlights of the big game, and some more fun clips that help paint a picture of why the name Alex Rossi will be remembered in the hearts of the people who make up the New Trier community long after he leaves Chicago's near north suburbs for the sunny bay of Berkeley, California...

Peoria Richwoods Upsets #1 Champaign Centennial
The Knights of Peoria Richwoods High School recently upset the top ranked team in 3A Champaign Centennial Chargers. The Charger loss ended the states longest win streak (37) Richwoods was led by senior Mason Alwan who was 5 of 7 from the arc and finished with 25pts. Drake commit Rayvonte Rice of Centennial did his best to keep his team in the game as he paced them with 24 pts. The Knights were seemingly too much for the Chargers though. The Knights defense held Eastern Kentucky commit Jeff Johnson to just 5 pts and standout forward Josh Piper to just 4 pts. With the combination of Tony Frazier, T.J. Cole, and David Anderson in the post, the Knights controlled the game. Frazier chipped in 10 pts while Anderson had 8 pts to go along with a game high 12 boards. Senior guard Tylon Deal also had 8 assists and 9 boards for the Knights. This big win has launched the Knights into the #1 spot in class 3A and has proven that they are poised to take another short trip to downtown Peoria to contend for a state title.
