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. While only the most talented players in the Voyager Media BOYS MVP GIRLS MVP coverage area are invited to the game, the Ben Moore Gabby Williams award is not based on talent on the court. It will BOLINGBROOK PLAINFIELD EAST be given each year to a player who displays the class, character and sportsmanship that Coach IZZO CHARACTER AWARD - Brandon McCullum, Joliet West Izzo displayed himself and expected from his players.
