Where are they now?
The Class of 2026 includes Rockford Elite alumni who have made a lot of noise on the high school scene. This group includes players with:
-Varsity experience as underclassmen (Cason Newton & Caden Considene-Byron, Amare Hereford-Beloit Memorial, Brody Bruns-Rochelle, Ben Bucher & Brayden Lewis-Belvidere North, Bane Workman-Rockford Lutheran, Alonzo Latimore-Rockford East, Caleb Hart-Hononegah) *Every player on roster!
-All-conference first team or special mention recognition (Amare Hereford, Cason Newton, Brayden Lewis-Belvidere North)
-All-state recognition (Amare Hereford, Cason Newton)
The talent doesn't stop there. This picture was taken in January 2021 after a joint practice with FVV Elite, which features FOUR first-team NIC-10 All-Conference players from the 24-25 season: Branden Chatmen (MVP & All-State))-Rockford Guilford, Amir Danforth (All-State) & Champ Parker-Rockford Auburn, and Brian Harper-Rockford East.
We can't wait to see them on the court this summer and winter again!
