Nobody talks about the lonely part.
“People always talk about talent, but what they don’t wanna talk about is loneliness. The empty gym…”
- Larry Bird
Confidence.
Nobody gives it to you.
You build it rep by rep.
In the gym when no one’s watching. https://t.co/4zIilqfX40
Huge Congrats to @SAT9251 on her commitment to @nuwbball
Merp was 7 yrs old when she attended Naz Academy Basketball Camp and we knew right away she was gonna be special. Big time players from Naz go on to big time programs.
Now let’s run it back for another State Title!
Congratulations to Coach Ed Stritzel — 2026 IHSA Girls Basketball Coach of the Year and 2026 Class 4A State Champion. The GOAT. Proud to celebrate an incredible season and an even greater leader.
There are currently 2,000+ basketball players stuck in the transfer portal.
Many Division I coaches have already said they’re done recruiting high school athletes.
Insane.
NABC ALL-DISTRICT!

Nazareth senior and BYU commit Stella Sakalas, who led the Roadrunners to the Class 4A state championship and will graduate as the program's second-highest career scorer and all-time winningest player, is the Suburban Life Player of the Year. https://t.co/dIFYKvW3im
Nazareth won its super-sectional on Monday in part because of its stout defense and the contributions of senior guard Lyla Shelton and junior guard Sophia Towne.

Final seconds, Nazareth beats Waubonsie Valley 54-42 and is going to state.
Shelton 18, Towne 17, Sakalas 9 for Naz. Morris 12, Pereda 12, Mporokoso 9 for WV.
Who’s ready for a trip to STATE? In front of a huge crowd, @NazarethGBB got the job done, winning the Class 4A Supersectional Championship over Waubonsie. Our Roadrunners are heading to ISU this weekend to play for another State Title. We’ll be cheering them on all the way.
Season ended last night against a good Wheaton Academy team. Thank you to all our seniors who gave it their all! And thank you to all the fans who came out to support us!
Proud of the effort tonight! Roadrunners with a tough road win 57-46 against a good Ridgewood team! We advance to the regional championship Friday night vs Wheaton Academy at Ridgewood. @michaelsobrien@NestoHoops@joehoopsreport
Congrats @Mia_Gage365
Mia earning All-Conference as a freshman says a lot about her work and impact. Playing a major role for one of the top teams in the state while regularly putting up double-doubles. Her growth has been impressive, and her future is bright. Keep working, Mia!
