Athletics Boys Basketball For the first time in ICJA Boys Basketball history, the varsity team won the co-championship of the Chicago Prep Conference. This was led by our three all-conference players (most ever) Benny Albom, Micah Cohen, and Josh Goltz. Coach Lee Gruen also won Conference Coach of the year. Our Sophomore team made it to the conference championship for the first time in five years and our Varsity team made it to the State Regional Finals also for the first time in five years.
