Brantner Jones a senior at New Trier High School has decided to go to Middlebury College in Vermont. Middlebury is one of the top 4 year liberal arts colleges in the country.

Brantner has been one of the hardest working athletes and it shows...

Jon Scheyer

We are excited about Jon Scheyer at Duke this year. He has been averaging 20 points a game.

Jon is a senior...I am shocked at how quickly time goes by. He was just in winning State at Glenbrook North and now a senior at Duke looking to play in the NBA.

Let's root for Scheyer and Duke to win a national title this year! Jon is a candidate for the John R. Wooden award. I am so proud of Jon for his leadership, determination and drive! Join his fan page on facebook!

Let's Go DUKE!
