See pics below. (all pictures are courtesy of the News Gazette)
  Devin Carter-Champaign Heat Basketball Senior guard, Centennial The numbers: One year after leading regional finalist Urbana in scoring, Carter didn't miss a beat after transferring to a Twin City rival. The 6-4 guard averaged a team-high 15.5 points and topped 400 points. Carter was the Chargers' top scorer in 13 of the 27 games in which he appeared, twice racking up season highs of 26 points. The senior also ranked second on the team in rebound average (5.7) and assists (81). A versatile scoring threat, Carter hit one-third of his three-point attempts but was particularly effective inside the arc, shooting 52.6 percent. He made his presence felt on defense, too, with a team-high 69 steals. Your season highlight: Game-winning assist to Taylen Alexander in first regional game Your career highlight: Scored a career-high 33 points in a game -News Gazette  Chase Patton-Champaign Heat Basketball Junior guard, St. Joseph-Ogden The numbers: Top scorer (12.2 average) on a 23-8 regional championship team. Shared team lead in three-pointers with Nate Michael (54). Made 73.3 percent of his free throws (55 of 75). Unanimous all-conference first-team selection had high game of 31 points against Bloomington Central Catholic. Also led the Spartans in scoring as a sophomore (10.6 average) and in three-pointers (67). For the past two years, he has made 71.0 percent of his free throws (110 of 155). Needs 313 points next season to reach 1,000 for his prep career and 63 three-pointers to break the all-time SJ-O record. Your season highlight: Scoring 25 points in a regional championship win, and the dunk that game Your career highlight: Dunk against Bismarck-Henning and playing in sectionals at our place -News Gazette   P.J. Blissit-Champaign Heat Basketball Senior guard, Urbana The numbers: A three-year varsity member, Blissit led the Tigers in scoring average (15.9 points), more than doubling his average as a junior. Despite standing 6-foot-2, he also paced Urbana in rebound average (5.5) and tied for the team lead in total rebounds (104). Blissit's versatility — and importance to the Tiger attack — is reflected, too, in the fact he paced the Tigers in assists (4.3, eighth in the area). Appearing in 19 games, the All-Big 12 Conference selection — the Tigers' first unanimous all-league pick in more than a decade — was Urbana's top scorer seven times, including a season-high 26 points against Chicago Corliss on Nov. 26. Your season highlight: Scoring 19 points in our win against Centennial Your career highlight: Beating Danville at home the last two seasons -News Gazette  3/30/12-Good luck to the Champaign Lady Heat squad!
