Game of the Week is Back for the Season

Game of the Week 2023 tips off this Friday with LIVE coverage of your local high school basketball teams. Our first broadcast is a battle of East vs. West with Joliet West, currently ranked 8 in Week 1 of Michael O’Brien’s Chicago Sun-Times Super 25 Basketball Rankings List, taking on Oswego East, currently on the list ranked 22. 

Both teams have had a strong start to the season so far with Joliet West 5-0 in Conference games and 13-4 overall, and Oswego East reflecting similar numbers with 6-0 in Conference games and 14-3 overall. Viewers can look forward to commentary from our Veteran broadcasters Kenny McReynolds, Jim Blaney, Rick Malnati, Mark Krueger and Kacy Standohar will call the games this season as well as the chance to observe Jeremy Fears Jr. of Joliet West, largely regarded as the top boys player in Illinois, and who is already committed to Michigan State.

See which team will come out with the win when these two teams face off Friday at 6:30P LIVE only on The U.
