WELCOME TO HOOPS 2016-17

Ready for next legacy-builders E

very year, a talented crop of seniors graduates and leaves behind a legacy at their respective schools.

And every year, a new crew of players will step in to replace them.

The departed players hope the legacy they leave that next group will be a positive one – and not necessarily just wins and losses.

Everyone wants to leave an indelible mark on those who come after them. It’s human nature.

But that can come in many forms – leadership, memories, celebrating the good times, and fighting through the bad times.

There is some top-notch talent that has moved on to the next level, and it wasn’t just from one team. Dixon must replace all five starters, after the

graduation of four of them – the most notable Isaiah Roby, who’s already playing well for Nebraska – and the fifth having moved to Sterling.

Newman also has four starters to replace, as last year’s senior class – anchored by 4-year varsity starter Noah McCarty, who’s now plying his trade at NIU – continued the success of the groups who had come before them.

The Oregon boys & girls teams must find a way to replace strong senior classes that provided five starters and plenty of solid role players off the bench.

The Polo Marcos are in the same boat, after seeing one of the most successful senior classes of boys athletes in school history move on to the next chapter.

The Morrison Fillies didn’t lose a single starter from their regional finalist team a year ago, and are eyeing a division title as the Three Rivers splits back into the East & West.

The Dixon Duchesses and Rock Falls Rockets also look to be in good hands, as both return strong cores of experienced veterans who know what to expect from each other and are ready to take the styles that fit them so well to the next level.

That being said, the area will be looking for its next big guns to dominate headlines and grab the area’s attention – hence the nametag motif on the front cover.

Every new season can kind of feel like a convention meet-&-greet, but this one is like that maybe moreso than usual.

But that’s the beauty of

high school sports. No matter how much success – or lack thereof – a team might have one year, the next group of players is there to start from a clean slate the next season.

And already knowing some of the kids who will soon become household names around the Sauk Valley, I’m not going too far out on a limb saying that this winter should be a fun one in our area.

So take a look at the following pages, familiarize yourself with the rosters, and then head to the gym and watch the new go-to players emerge right before your eyes.

Who knows? Maybe your favorite team will be the next one adding its name to the list of recent postseason success stories from our area – and we’ll be covering them every step of the way.
