Evan Gilyard (UTEP commit) is a four-year varsity player for Chicago Public League powerhouse Simeon Career Academy. After waiting for his time to come, the flashy point guard is leading Simeon's balanced scoring attack alongside junior Talen Horton-Tucker and Kezo Brown and the Wolverines are off to their best start in memory (16-0).
For the second consecutive season, Simeon has faced Fenwick, a formidable suburban Catholic League opponent. Last season, Simeon lost at Fenwick. This season, after 3 quarters of back and forth scoring, the Wolverines pulled away to win 55-50.
Gilyard led Simeon's scoring with 15. Brown and Horton-Tucker added 14. Unsigned senior Jacob Keller led Fenwick (13-4) with 16 points and Jamal Nixon scored 13. One of the area's top freshmen, DJ Steward had numerous assists in the first half.
