For Immediate Release
JURECKO, WYSOCKI NAMED ALL-MWC
Lake Forest's J.R. Jurecko,
a 6-7 sophomore center from Libertyville, IL (Libertyville High School),
and Joe Wysocki, a 6-3 junior guard/forward from New Berlin, WI (Catholic
Memorial High School), have been named to the Honorable Mention All-Midwest
Conference team. Lake Forest joined Monmouth and Lawrence as the
only teams to have more than one non-senior named All-Conference (all had
two Honorable Mention selections). Of the 21 All-Conference players,
13 were seniors, including four seniors on both the first and second teams.
Jurecko, despite joining
the Forester's team at mid-season, still led the conference in rebounding
at 8.6 boards per game, nearly two per game more than any other player
in the league. Jurecko also finished in the conference's top ten
for field goal percentage (57.2%) and scoring (15.8 points per game) and
was named the MWC Player of the Week and to the Division III Basketball
Online National Team of the Week for his performance during the second
to last week of the regular season.
Wysocki, after spending
last season as the Forester's sixth man, settled nicely into his role as
the team's primary offensive threat this season. Wysocki finished
fifth in the league in scoring at 17.2 ppg and also finished third in free
throw percentage (83.1%), seventh in three-point percentage (40.9%) and
tenth in rebounding (5.7 per contest).
