	4th Grade Team This week's AOTW for 4th Grade are Ben Tapia and Alex Gilmore. Ben has made good progress in improving his shot selections. In Sunday's game he played tough defense, including drawing a charge. Alex plays well on both ends of the court, always moving and making himself open for shot opportunities. In the last game Sunday he boxed out and played good defense, collecting 6 rebounds. Excellent work, boys...keep practicing hard and always do your best.
	5th Grade Team This week's AOTW for 5th Grade are Evan Bennett and Peyton Roper. Both boys played hard and had good games against some tough competition in the Libertyville Tournament. Evan palyed tough around the basket, getting several putbacks and key rebounds. Peyton was aggressive on offense, attacked the basket and played tough defense. Good job boys, keep up the good work!

Patrick had 13 pts and took control of the team in the 4^th qtr to lead team into overtime where Peyton Diedrich made the winning free throw. Alex plays at twice his size and if the ball is loose on the floor you will find him at the bottom of the pile. No points but got knocked down to the floor by a Palatine player sitting a pick. Got up played injured to give his team a chance to score on a fast break.  Warrior Spirit!!!!!!
