After suffering a tough first round loss to Carolina Elite at the loaded Phoenix Desert Duel in Gilbert, AZ, the Illinois Wolves have come back strong by winning their next two games in the Memorial Bracket.  The Wolves defeated the Houston Defenders Select by a score of 66-56 and the Texas D1 Ambassadors by a 65-60 margin.

It was once again a total team effort in the Wolves win over the Ambassadors.  Leading the way was 6'2 class of 2011 combo guard Chasson Randle from Rock Island High School in Rock Island, IL with 13 points.  6'5 class of 2011 swing man Jacob Williams from St. Patrick High School in Chicago and 6'1 class of 2011 point guard and Northwestern University commit David Sobolewski from Benet Academy contributed 12 and 10 points respectively.

In the victory over the Defenders, Randle was the high scorer with 19 points, while Williams added 12 and 6'10 class of 2011 center and University Of Wisconsin commit Frank Kaminsky 10.  Williams in particular has been impressive of late, as he also performed solidly during tournament play at the Hoop City Classic in Kansas City.

The Wolves will close out play at the Desert Duel later tonight versus the Franchize All-Stars.
