Alonzo Verge Jr. has arrived! The 6’3 sophomore combo guard led his Willowbrook HS team on a remarkable 19-game turnaround from last season to its first conference title since 1972 (21-8).
Averaging 30+points during a late-season 15-game win streak (VIDEO), Verge truly burst onto the scene. Hitting several dramatic game winning shots with several 40+point games, the Chicago hoops community took notice and crowds showed up to see the exciting, young talent in Villa Park, Illinois (outside Chicago). Near the end of the season college coaches started to take note and Verge received his first D-1 scholarship offers from Providence and Oregon.
Averaging 23 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals on the season (along with clutch shooting and plenty of poise), Verge was the only sophomore named to Chicago Sun Times prestigious “2015 All Area Team.”
This season, Alonzo Verge Jr. made scoring look too easy!
