In October 2010, the Bugle-area basketball community suffered a loss with the unexpected death of Joliet Catholic Academy boys basketball coach Jeremy Izzo. A history teacher at JCA, Izzo, 29, was a rookie basketball coach and had the desire and plan to put Hilltopper basketball back on top. Izzo was known to not only be a passionate coach, but a passionate educator as well. Izzo was a 1999 graduate of Nazareth Academy and 2004 graduate of Illinois, where he was the Illini basketball team’s student manager for four years and was a graduate assistant and video coordinator under Lon Kruger, Bill Self and Bruce Weber. The Jeremy Izzo Character Award will JEREMY IZZO be presented annually to a senior basketball player, male or female, that is invited to the Prep Shootout.
