The prestigious AC Williamson award, a combination sportsmanship/MVP award, goes to Benet’s Jayden Wright.

[Michael O'Brien @michaelsobrien]

Benet's Jayden Wright on Pontiac. He played in 3 title games in his career:

"It is a great tournament, just the atmosphere. All the teams and all the great players. It is my favorite. I love it and I’m going to miss it for sure."

[Michael O'Brien @michaelsobrien]

High school hoops takes over Pontiac for 3 days every year. It's a marathon of hoops, with the outside world blocked out and all focus on the title.

Jayden Wright understands Pontiac as well as anyone and tonight he led Benet to its first championship.

[Michael O'Brien @michaelsobrien]

Benet bets Curie 74-41 to advance to tonight's title game at Pontiac against DePaul Prep.

Jayden Wright led the Redwings with 23 points. He was a very good player last year but this season he's improved as much as anyone in the entire area. A true star lead guard.

[Michael O'Brien @michaelsobrien]

Jayden Wright may be the area's most underrated star guard. The senior spearheaded Benet's dismantling of undefeated Curie on Wednesday at Pontiac.

“[Wright] just controlled the whole game" - Curie coach Mike Oliver.

[Basketball Scoop @Bballscoop1]

Benet Academy HS (IL.) PG Jayden Wright has committed to Eastern Illinois. Marty Simmons and his staff got a steal with this kid. Not only can the kid hoop, he is a winner as well. That's a dangerous combination. @JayWright03 @eiubasketball @CoachSimmons50

[Dino Cook @DinoCook7]

Jayden Wright, already courted by Eastern Illinois, is the embodiment of what admissions brochures and recruiting departments so often proclaim but seldom pursue: the scholar-athlete in full. With a 3.9 GPA and a chronicle of competitive success, he presents not a plea for consideration, but a quiet indictment of institutional inertia. That Ivy League and high-major programs have yet to act is not a reflection on him—but on them. For here is a young man whose résumé is not padded with promise but fortified by proof.
