Lumen Christi’s Khari Willis Named JTV Sports Player of the Year

By Larry Jacobson, JTV Sports When Lumen Christi Boys Basketball Coach Rich Karasek saw Khari Willis practicing as a freshman, he knew he was watching a unique talent. “When I saw him working out as a freshman, I knew he would be something special,” Karasek said. And Willis, JTV Sports Boys Basketball Player of the Year, is just that – even though his coach loses sight of him on the court sometimes. “There will be times when I physically can’t see him,” Karasek said. “Khari is one of the best anywhere at driving to the basket, and there are times when he’ll drive into the lane amongst all those big guys and he’ll just disappear. Then the ball goes in the basket or he passes to a teammate for an open shot and I’ll find him again.” Willis, one of the best on-ball man-to-man defensive players in the state, is the engine that drives the Titan machine. This year he averaged 14 points, almost 8 assists, 5 rebounds and nearly 3 steals a game for a Titans team that finished 23-2 with back-to-back conference and district championships. Lumen Christi spent several weeks this year as the number one ranked team…

East Jackson’s Kassidy Blough named JTV Sports Player of the Year

By Larry Jacobson, JTV Sports When East Jackson Girls Basketball Coach Meeka Sova was asked to highlight a couple of big moments this year for junior guard Kassidy Blough – JTV Sports Girls Player of the Year - she didn’t know where to start. Was it the night Kassidy hit a pair of free throws with three seconds left on the clock to beat Napoleon? Was it the second game against Napoleon when she scored 29 points? How about the night when she scored 35 in a game? Or is it the fact Kassidy is the first Trojan girl’s player to score 1,000 points (she has 1,105 in her career) and she’s only a junior. It’s all of the above, and yet it’s also none of it. “What makes Kassidy so special is her understanding of the team,” Sova said. “She’s our quiet leader and she leads by example, but she knows so much of what she has accomplished is because of the players around her.” Sova pointed to a game earlier in the year in which the media focus was entirely on Blough and her accomplishments that particular night. The junior guard, however, wanted nothing to do with that…

Western’s Late Run Not Enough to Beat Leslie

By Derek Devine, JTV Sports Leslie defeated Western 55-44 Wednesday night in the semifinals of the Class B District Tournament at Northwest High School. Both teams started the game slowly, but Leslie found their offensive rhythm first, fueled by great interior play from Dylan Patton. Patton scored all 8 of his points in the first half. Western had a small run early in the second quarter off of second chance opportunities as Ryan Conklin was a force on the offensive glass. “Western really killed us on the offensive boards,” Leslie Coach Matt Johns said. “13 offensive rebounds according to our count - something we can’t allow to happen.” Momentum shifted completely in Leslie's favor, however, when John Jones deflected a pass and saved it from going out of bounds by passing it behind his back to Matt Subject who scored an easy layup. The Blackhawks lead the Panthers 22-15 going into the half. Western picked up the pace defensively and had 3 steals in the first four minutes of the 2nd Half, but still couldn't seem to cut the lead. The Panthers biggest push came with 5:30 to play in the game, when Isaiah Ingles hit a jumper to tie…
