Lincoln Park

OPTIMISM RUNNING HIGH WITH THE LIONS

Lincoln Park finished third in last year's Hinsdale Central Holiday Classic, and the school won their first IHSA Regional Championship in ten years.  Coach Pat Gordon's team put themselves on the map with signature wins over Whitney Young, Marian Catholic and DePaul Prep last season.  Eleven players from that 19-win team will return this year -- with eight of the players seeing significant minutes last year.  Let's start with 6-9 junior center Romelle Howard, who is not only a great rebounder, but has a soft touch around the basket.  Point guard Ismail Habib, started a game as a freshman at last year's HCHC.  The Class of 2021 dynamo averaged 6.3 points per game over the 2017 Christmas Holidays.  Senior shooting guard Michael Robinson can score and use his 6-3 frame to defend and 5-8 sophomore point guard Julio Montes should make a major contribution.  Now that the Lions have tasted success, with an experienced group returning, look for more of the same from Lincoln Park this season.

 

Sophomore Ismail Habib will run the offense for the Lions this year.
