Eight Most Improved High School Basketball Teams to Watch This Season

While these teams may not be in the running for a state title, they have all shown significant improvement and are poised to make an impact this season. Let’s take a closer look at the top eight most improved high school basketball teams.

Conant

Last year, the Conant Cougars were a respectable 14-14, but with no seniors on the roster. Coach Matt Walsh has a wealth of experience and talent at his disposal this year, including three-year starter Yusuf Cisse and versatile players like Camden Lathos and Bradley Biedke. Expectations are high for this team as they aim to clinch the league favorite spot.

York

Despite a 3-9 finish last season, York has a standout star in senior AJ Levine and an experienced roster, making them a strong contender to flip last year’s record and change the game in the West Suburban Silver league.

Waukegan

Although last year’s 12-17 record was an improvement, the Bulldogs are expected to be a force to be reckoned with this season. With a blend of young talent and senior veterans, they are determined to shake things up in the North Suburban Conference.

Downers Grove South

With the Svveiteris brothers leading the charge, Downers Grove South is on an upward trajectory and ready to make a strong push for the top spot in the West Suburban Gold league.

Schaumburg

Despite a tough season last year, Schaumburg returns with a strong core, including top scorers and added size, making them a formidable contender in the competitive MSL West.

Stagg

Stagg enters the new season with a wealth of experience and a talented lineup, setting the stage for a winning season and a chance to take down the defending champ in the Southwest Suburban Red league.

Eisenhower

With conference player of the year AJ Abrams leading the way, the Cardinals are poised to bounce back from two tough seasons and challenge for the top spot in the South Suburban Red.

Oak Forest

Despite a challenging season last year, Oak Forest has all the pieces in place for a major turnaround, making them the team to watch in the South Suburban Blue league.
