The length of its players gives Young a chance to compete with any opponent on any night. The length on its bench might be unmatched in Illinois and could go a long way toward winning a state title.
Young used its superior size and depth to earn a trip to Peoria on Friday with a 62-47 victory over Hyde Park in the 4A supersectional Tuesday night at Chicago State.
Stanford Brown, a 6-foot-8-inch senior, had 20 points and 15 rebounds and Young got strong contributions from eight players in earning its first trip Downstate since winning the Class AA title in 1998...
...Jerome Moore (13 points) and Anthony Dixon (14 points) fueled a 13-3 run that cut Hyde Park's deficit to 49-40 with just more than five minutes remaining, but Marcus Jordan (10 points, six rebounds), Brown and senior guard Chris Colvin (13 points) wrested control.

A few minor adjustments produced major dividends for Whitney Young, which advanced to the Class 4A semifinals in Peoria with a 62-47 victory over Hyde Park Tuesday in the Class 4A supersectional at Chicago State.
The Dolphins took advantage of 5-of-27 first-half shooting by Hyde Park to take a 29-19 halftime lead...
...Hyde Park coach Donnie Kirksey said he was surprised at the way his team came out.
“We did not execute, we didn’t play with our normal intensity," Kirksey said. “And we lost our composure, which is a kiss of death against a quality team like Whitney Young. I take my hat off to them, they had a lot to do with the way we played.”
Anthony Dixon led Hyde Park with 14 points. and
