CHAMPAIGN — Te’Jon Lucas gleaned two items from Milwaukee Washington’s two-point loss to Simeon on Jan. 30.
One, the Purgolders can compete against one the most highly-regarded programs in Illinois, including a team that has regularly ranked among the nation’s best.
Two, the support is going to be there when he leaves home this summer to start his college career at Illinois.
Simeon had the bulk of support that Friday night at Chicago’s Whitney Young High School on the near-west side. But Lucas still spotted some orange and blue in a crowd dominated by Wolverines fans.
