Senior center Jake Lindfors picked up the absent points offensively, pouring in 30 while posing a threat from nearly everywhere on the court.

 

"He's very versatile," Latorre said of his 6-foot-10 center. "He's a different player from last year. He's just so much more athletic, he can handle the ball so much better. His game's just really improved markedly since last year."

 

While Driscoll (1-0) ran much of its offense through Lindfors in the first half, the Lions used a balanced attack to stay with the Highlanders, trailing just 27-24 at the half.

 

"The whole season, I think I've got to be a leader," Lindfors said.

 

"It's definitely a little harder without … a couple of the other guys."

haggyland,

 

Thanks for taking the time to do the research on Lindfors and posting it here.

 

It's great to see we have another solid player coming our way.

Driscoll 2-0

 

Driscoll 52, Maine West 49:ŒJake Lindfors scored 24 points and Matt Kaban added 16 points for the Highlanders (2-0) in their win at the Lisle tournament.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Driscoll 52, Maine West 49: The long-range shooting of Jimmy Orlowski and Adis Kadiric wasn't enough for Maine West (0-2) to overcome the inside-outside game of Driscoll's Jake Lindfors in the Lisle tournament.

 

Orlowski scored 19 points and hit five 3-pointers and Kadiric added 12 points and two 3s. But the Albany-bound Lindfors hit three 3s en route to a game-high 24 points.

haggyland,

These recruits make it almost possible to ignore them.

Next year's class looks very strong.

[Patch]

Lindfors goes for 42

 

LISLE TOURNAMENT

 

Driscoll 67, Montini 58

 

 

Driscoll took a 19-15 lead after one quarter and stayed on top the

rest of the way behind 42 points and 16 rebounds from Jake Lindfors and 10

points each from Kevin Bain and Matt Caban. Anthony Blashewski (17

points) and Alex Blashewski (15 points) led Montini.

[haggyland]

42 and 16? I know to temper my enthusiasm but things are looking very promising for the next block of years.

It is hard to temper the emotion with this recruiting class. Lindfors, Turley, Covington, Gifford, Connelly, with Hastings, Allen, Anderson, and Aronholt stepping down from time to time is simply something I am not seeing other teams in the AE contending with on a nightly basis.

Agreed!

 

... and Ambrose, Martin, Raffa, and Moores in the backcourt!

[Dane Pound]

Those scoring numbers are Raffa-esque!!!

Lisle tournament

Sophomore forward Jermaine Winfield had 16 points and nine rebounds, and North Lawndale forced 29 turnovers as the Phoenix defeated Driscoll 74-42 to win the tournament.

 

DeAntwan Jackson added 11 points, and Zilijan Jones had nine for North Lawndale (5-0), which started three juniors and two sophomores.

 

''We're a young team,'' North Lawndale coach Lewis Thorpe said. ''We'll be up and down. We'll beat teams we shouldn't and lose to teams we should beat.''

 

Six-foot-9 Jake Lindfors led Driscoll (3-2) with 15 points, and Dan Kadlec added eight, including a 55-foot bank shot to beat the first-half horn.

[haggyland]

A few notes:

 

1.) This listing is one of the sources that still lists Lindfors at 6'9". Other sites have him listed as high as 6'11".

Is 6'9" probably the most accurate?

 

2.) Article lists Driscoll's record at 3-2 which would mean that there is a loss against Timothy Christain unaccounted for. I shall hit the search engines.

[haggyland]

So, game #3 was found.

 

Lindfors goes for 25 and 20, but the team loses in dramatic fashion.

Shot at Buzzer Continues Boys' Varsity Undefeated Streak

 

Wednesday, November 21

 

It took a miraculous shot but the Trojans remain undefeated (3-0) by nipping Driscoll 58-56 in overtime. With 6 seconds left in overtime Jake Lindfors , Driscoll’s all-area forward who finished the night with 25 points and 20 rebounds missed the second of two free throws, Joel Sytsma gathered the rebound and threw it out to Andrew Logan who came up the court full speed, two dribbles past half he double clutched and banked in the game winner as the buzzer sounded. Vince Williams had an earlier key possession as time was running down in regulation ,he hit a three to tie up the game. Peter Tameling had 14 points 12 boards and 4 steals. Jaaron Holmes had 14 points and 7 boards.

[haggyland]

So, in summation so far:
