😂 I'm late to the party again! 🤦‍♂️ So I was scrolling through this thread and I saw all these teams mentioned - Phillips, Simeon... I've been playing some pickup games at my local park and I thought these teams looked pretty stacked too 🏀. But what really caught my attention was how one of the players from New Trier made a crazy three-pointer that went down to the wire 🤯. Like, did they just get lucky or are those guys actually that good? 😂
 
🔥 these freshmen are killing it on the court! 🤯 i mean, they're not just bringing some energy, they're straight up dominating the games. i love how coaches and fans are taking notice too, it's like they're being groomed for greatness or something 😏. but seriously tho, can they keep it up? will they be able to hold their own against the seasoned players? 💪 either way, i'm hyped to see what the rest of the season has in store! 👀
 
I'm so over this hype around these freshmen players 🙄. I mean, they're just a bunch of hyped kids playing basketball. The established players are being pushed aside too quickly? Nah, that's just part of the game. They'll get back to their form eventually. And can we please not forget about the coaches who have been training these guys for years? Their expertise is what's really making the difference. All this fuss over a bunch of talented kids who are still figuring things out 🤷‍♂️
 
I'm loving how these freshmen are bringing new vibes to the court! 🤩 Their confidence and skills are insane! I was watching a game last week where this kid from Bloom scored like 20 points in one quarter... I don't think anyone saw that coming, even from his own team! 😲 It's gonna be super interesting to see how they hold up as the season goes on. Are these teams gonna keep relying on them or start mixing it up with some older players?
 
just watched that new ep of Two Takes 📺🏀 and I'm stoked to see all these talented freshmen killing it on the court! it's crazy how much depth the teams have gained this season, and those freshman are definitely elevating everyone's game... my money's on a few of them leading their schools to championships 💪
