URBAN PREP READY TO TAKE THAT BIG STEP

Followers of Urban Prep Englewood have seen quite a maturation process over the past couple of years.  Two seasons ago, the Lions lost three games at the Hinsdale Central Holiday Classic by a single point.  Last year Urban Prep Englewood lost only three games in the regular season -- and all three were at HCHC.  The Lions ran the table in the White South Division and captured victories in all of their other non-conference games.  Their only losses were in the CPS playoffs and the state tournament playoffs. Capturing the league championship was a landmark accomplishment for the 11-year old school, but it also meant that UPE will play in the Chicago Public League Red South-Central Division this year, as conference meetings with Simeon, Curie, Morgan Park and Bogan lie ahead.  But the whole idea of toughening up their schedule started here at Hinsdale three years ago.  A pair of starters return for Lions in 6-4 senior Sean Faulkner, a three-year varsity performer and 6-0 junior Core'dell Lott.

 

 
   




Sean Faulkner (#55) started all four games at last year's HCHC.
