From Wolves to Ramblers, this pack of first-year players is experienced playing basketball with each other. Guards Paxson Wojcik and Marquise Kennedy and forward Tom Welch all played on the same Illinois Wolves team before joining Loyola this season.
The three players came from very different backgrounds but joined together to play on the Illinois Wolves — a traveling basketball team in the Under Armour Association (UAA). The UAA is a league of traveling club basketball teams that play across the country in a league sponsored by Under Armour.
The Wolves have four age groups — under-14, under-15, under-16 and under-17 — and are based in the southwest suburbs.
