I’ve rarely use this account for anything other than hoops, but this is my Aunt Renee. She is 65, has attended a ton of Prospect games, and works each day to save lives as a nurse in Detroit. I asked how she keeps her patient’s spirits up & got this. These people are true heroes.
After two years away from the program, we are excited to announce the return of Coach John Camardella to the sidelines as the varsity assistant for the 23-24 season!

We are excited to announce that Antonio Gardner is joining our varsity staff as a volunteer assistant as he finishes up his degree at North Park. He was a fierce competitor when he played, and our current players will benefit immensely from his presence. Welcome home!

David Swedura... win a Conference Title and score your 1000th point on in the same game. Proud of this young man.
Knights lost to a very good Libertyville team tonight in front of a packed house. 20 wins and a sectional final. So proud of our seniors and what they were able to accomplish in their careers. They have left Prospect a better place. Thank you to everyone who supported us!!
Incredible atmosphere & effort by all involved tonight in the Sectional at Walker Fieldhouse. Special thanks to our seniors & their families for everything they have sacrificed over the last four years for our program and our community. Especially proud to be a Knight tonight.
Life is all about relationships and these men are a credit to their families and our high school community. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! VIDEO: Camardella Tribute 2021 | A Brad Rathe Production:
Tomorrow in between the sophomore and varsity games, we will be recognizing current sophomore coach, Mike McColaugh, on his 24 years of coaching service to Prospect Basketball. Mac will be retiring at the end of this season and is a huge reason for our success! Come join us!
As
@JayBilas
always reminds us, managers are the hardest working members of any successful basketball program. Ryan and Wes have been working tirelessly to give our players every chance of success this season. Thanks fellas!
To the 2019-20 Varsity Team: please know just how grateful our staff is for the countless hours you invested into this season & throughout your careers. We are all better men for having coached you & will see you again soon. Thank you! FULL VIDEO:

Congrats to senior Drew Terpins (
@TerpinsDrew
) for his unanimous selection to the MSL All-Conference team. Drew did everything for us this season...scoring just short of 15 ppg, 4 apg, 4 rpg, 2 spg, often while guarding the other team's top player.
Tonight will be the first game at Walker FH in over 50 years without Bob Frisk in the stands. He will be remembered in tonight’s pregame & for years to come. Let’s all take a second to remember the man who dedicated his life to telling the incredible sports stories of our youth.
Ben Schneider has been named to the MSL All-Conference team. As a sophomore in his first year on varsity, Ben has been impressive all year. His ability to score from anywhere has been fun to watch. Congrats Ben!
Congrats to Alex Georgakas and Ben Schneider for being named All-Conference last night at the MSL final. Cool to see all of their teammates there for the recognition.
2019 MSL East Division Champs! Mark your calendars... The Mid-Suburban League Championship game will be hosted at Walker Fieldhouse on Wed. February 20th vs. the winner of the Fremd/Schaumburg game next Friday.

Rathe & I coached our first ever varsity game in 2007 against Coach Pingatore & St. Joseph. Following his victory, he was gracious & supportive of two young coaches trying to find their way in the profession. He will be deeply missed by all of us trying to follow his example.
Knights stay on a roll tonight beating a very good Glenbrook South team 45-35. Georgakas (

alum Jason Leblebijian is on the verge of making an MLB roster. His work ethic is legendary and a perfect example for all current Prospect athletes to follow. It was a pleasure seeing him in action this weekend.
Incredible MSL Title Game tonight. Knights lose a hard fought battle 75-72 in Double OT. Couldn’t be more proud of our players. Congrats to
