Evan Gilyard - Simeon High Update

[Lil_Train]

Gilyard and his team are one game away from the Illinois 4A state title. Gilyard led his team with 30 points against top ranked Edwardsville. See story below:

That's a nice thing to see. Hope the LOI is a genuine thing and he'll be wearing a Miners uni. Keeping my fingers crossed that nothing goes awry.

According to the print media in his area, he is totally committed and looking forward to coming to El Paso. But this just broke out on twitter.....just saying since D.A. eligibilty is up.

Gilyard scored 15 in the semi-final game; Simeon moves on to the final tonight.

Unfortunately Simeon came out on the short in the championship game against Whitney Young. Simeon had defeated Young twice before earlier the season, but was unable to pull off the hat trick. Apparently, Young focused their defense in the second half and overtime on shutting down Gilyard, and the tactic paid off in keeping him scoreless.
