The Warriors won 7 of the next eight games, and then captured the Waubonsie Valley Christmas Tournament title by defeating Hinsdale Central. Kyle Obendorf and Jelani Johnson were selected All-tournament.
One of the best highlights to the season was defeating Neuqua Valley on a last second shot by Jelani Johnson. It was one of the loudest and most exciting games in Waubonsie Valley’s gym.
The Warriors finished the Upstate 8 Conference 8-2 good for second place for the second straight year. Kevin VandenBerg and Justin Peaster were awarded first team All-Conference. J
osh Daniels and Jelani Johnson were honorable mention. Six members of the team were All- Academic. Justin Peaster received the sportsmanship award from the conference and our program. Josh Daniels was named most outstanding defender. Kevin Vandenberg is the 5th all time assist leader and he and Justin were co-MVP of the team.
Waubonsie Valley captured the regional title and produced another 20 win season finishing 22-7.
The last two years the senior class finished 42-17 with 2 regional titles. Their outstanding efforts both on and off the court will be missed. The Waubonsie Valley basketball staff wishes them the best as they embark on a new chapter in life! Thanks Seniors!!
