Harlan’s Tim Turner (2) tries to gets to the basket against Hyde Park. Worsom Robinson/For the Sun-Times.

If you haven’t been to the Harlan gym it is a great place to see a game. Very intimate, bleachers on just one side of the gym and not a bad seat in the house.

Hyde Park rolled all over the Falcons today. Harlan’s freshmen showed some flashes, but they are small. Senior Tim Turner is worth keeping an eye on.

The big news for Hyde Park, other than the win, is that Marist transfer Malik Onyeali has been cleared to play. Read all about Hyde Park-Harlan.

Tomorrow is a big night, tons of great games all over the area. Joe Henricksen previewed and predicted some of them here.
