With a 12-7 overall record and a 4-3 conference record, the Knights basketball team will control their own destiny for the rest of the season. Getting back senior Trever Heinle from injury is huge going forward.
“With Trever out, he was a big factor in our offense. I had to step up my game and knock down open shots I got for the team,” senior Tyler Heinle said.
With only three conference games left in the season the Knights’ will be at home for two of those.
“I think it plays to are advantage we know our hoops well, and it’s hard being a visiting team and having to play in our gym,” Coach Brian Johnson said.
The Knights are coming off their biggest win in Rochelle with having sophomore Drew David leading the way for the Knights with 17 points and senior Marcel Neil with 13 and sophomore Thomas Williams with 12. The Knights had a strong performance at the foul line making 14-17 free throws.
“We felt really confident going into the game. We had a hard week of practice, and we studied film on Rochelle a lot. Drew played a great game and stepped up big for us,” Neil said.
The Knights up coming conference schedule has them playing Yorkville and Rochelle at home and having to play in DeKalb.
“We feel confident in the last three conference games we have. We just want to take it one game at a time and not get ahead of ourselves. We know if we win out, we win conference, and we think we can do that,” Neil said.
