Boys basketball | Proviso West tourney: Glenbrook North's Dragicevich does a number on T.F. North

By Mike Helfgot Special to the Tribune

December 27, 2009

No. 21 outscored Thornton Fractional North in the first half, dominating the action but misfiring on six of his nine foul shots.

No. 34 didn't have as much of an overall impact, but his free-throw shooting was every bit as vital to the outcome.

Alex Dragicevich wore both numbers Saturday for No. 3 Glenbrook North, scoring 31 points and grabbing eight rebounds as the Spartans remained undefeated with a 55-48 victory over T.F. North in the first round of the Proviso West tournament in Hillside.

Dragicevich, a 6-foot-6 guard headed to Notre Dame, outscored T.F. North 16-12 in the first half and made 7 of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter after switching numbers because of blood on the back of his jersey.

"I had to put those free throws out of my mind," said Dragicevich, an 80 percent free-throw shooter this season. "I was like, 'I'm a good shooter, I need to knock these down for us to win.' "

Dragicevich scored his team's first 13 points before a 3-pointer by Austin Weber (11 points) gave Glenbrook North (10-0) a 16-7 edge. .

T.F. North (5-3) picked up its defensive pressure to claw back in the second half. Montero Rice scored 14 of his 19 points in the second half for the Meteors, who were still alive when Sean Montgomery cut their deficit to 53-48 with just under a minute to play.

"I had to come out and show my guys that I'm confident and that we can beat those guys," Dragicevich said. "We don't see teams like that all the time. At this tournament, they tend to let a lot of stuff go. You get to see who's tough."

Player of the game: Alex Dragicevich, Glenbrook North, 31 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks.

Key performers: T.F. North -- Montero Rice, 19 points, 5 rebounds. Glenbrook North -- Peter Szostak, 5 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks.

BASKETBALL: Cvrkalj for MVP?

Cool video highlighting Stefan Cvrkalj's season thusfar with Bluevale and his club team. (Check out another angle of the tournament play of 2009: Heinbuch Classic game-equalizer vs. London Beal at the 1:30 mark.)

Hard to dispute the argument that Knights' senior guard Cvrkalj has been, one of, if not the best player in WCSSAA so far this season.

Sure the flipside argument can be made for Cameron Heights' Stefan Arezina, who outscored Cvrkalj in their league game but Knight fan is quick to point out he did more to earn his team the win.

So yes, in my opinion, the most valuable player so far would go to the Knights' sensational fourth year player who's getting plenty of CIS and NCAA attention this season.

But what do we care about? A WCSSAA team championship and playing beyond. How will "CJ" be remembered in this league? The next nine weeks could decide that.

The serbian 1992 generation in Canada is really great. Nastic, Cvrkalj and Arezina are improving very well. Don't know yet who will coach serbian U18 national team next summer but I wish he will keep an eye on them.

Bluevale Collegiate, Waterloo:


Last year, the Knights finished 2nd in WCSSAA with a 10-2 record. They were both semi-finalists in league
playoffs as well as CWOSSA. With many returnees, the Knights are on a mission to be one of the best
teams in the Province and so far, they are! They are a perfect 4 and 0 in league play and were semi-finalists
at the prestigious Court Heinbuch Tournament in November. They were also champions of the Joe Raso
Flight Division at the Silver Fox Tournament. Bluevale is led by 6’6” centre Andrew Beney and 6’4” point
guard Stefan Cvrkalj. Cvrkalj is regarded as one the top players in the province and is getting interests from
NCAA Division 1 schools such as Auburn and Cornell. These two standouts are surrounded by a very strong
supporting cast who can beat you on any given night. Look for the Knights to fight their way into this year’s
final.

On the senior side, in the game that I attended in Waterloo, Stefan Cvrkalj had 39 big points for Bluevale in their 65-34 win over WCI.

Stefan Cvrkalj and Stefan Nastic

Stefan Cvrkalj and Stefan Nastic

THE RECRUITING TRAIL

Thornhill centre Stefan Nastic is currently the best senior prospect in Canada. The 6'11" Nastic is getting bigger, stronger and has a great feel for the game. At the Xavier RimRocker, he drew scouts from Georgetown, Marquette, U Cal Berkeley and Northwestern. Nastic is a superb student and can pretty much choose any high-major program he wants come next spring.

Oakville's Abbey Park centre Chris McLaughlin 6'9" is drawing attention from schools all over Canada with his sweet shooting touch and strong athletic ability. University of Victoria, U.B.C., Windsor, Western, Ottawa and McMaster have all taken note of his strong performance in league play including a 41-point outburst against Bishop Reding. McLaughlin is intrigued by playing university ball in the Vancouver area but OUA schools are working hard to keep him home come next year.

Sarnia St. Christopher's swingman Joe Rocca 6'3" has exploded on the provincial scene this year with several 30-point plus performances. Rocca is strong and aggressive and is a handfull for any high school defender to contend with. He is a good student and could come out this year. Windsor and Western are heavily involved and he is the best prospect to come out of Sarnia since Andy Wedemire led St. Pat's H.S. to an OFSAA title in 2005.

Stefan Cikvalj, a 6'4" swingman from Bluevale C.I. in Waterloo is the best senior prospect in CWOSSA this year. Stefan is a 90% plus student and a superb scorer. He has interest from several Ivy League schools.

The University of Western Mustangs are hoping to raid the Hamilton public school ranks this year and are heavily involved with Stoney Creek, Orchard Park H.S. forwards Taylor Black 6'7" and Satar Wahidi 6'6" as well as Bishop Ryan forward Cody Mazza 6'5" and Parkside guard Quinn Henderson 6'3". There is very little senior talent in the London area this year and the Mustangs have to go outside their traditional recruiting areas to find the talent they need.
http://www.thehoop-la.com/news/the-thomas-report---06.01.10.html
 
No battle of the Serbs last night as Kostic is injured:

The Warriors played without 6-foot-8 freshman Milos Kostic, who was on crutches favoring his right foot/ankle area which was in a wrap. Fans had been looking forward to seeing Kostic match up against Wheeler's 6-foot-7 Aleksa Kojcinovic, a fellow Serbian. The two could go head-to-head in the Greater South Shore Conference tournament, which tips off on Jan. 19.

Stefan Nastic is a 6'11 center who has a high basketball IQ. He is a smart player who has nice post moves and can strech the defense out by hitting the mid range jumper and even the three! One thing he needs to improve on is rebounding the ball.

Stefan Cvrkalj is a 6'4 combo guard who is a great shooter and understands the game well. He can create for himself and for his teammates, is also a pretty good passer. The best thing about Stefan's game is his pull up jumper off the dribble.

Stefan Cvrkalj

Stefan Cvrkalj, Bluevale: The fourth-year point guard could be on this list every week. He's just that good. The past week was an especially memorable one though as he scored an impressive 38 points against WCI in a clash between undefeated teams at the start of the week and later led his team to a second-place finish at the Saints Invitational senior boys tournament. Fans of Brampton Notre Dame, which topped Bluevale in a thrilling tournament final, jokingly yelled out "Injure No. 3" as Cvrkalj gave Notre Dame defenders fits on his way to a 23-point performance. He has talked with such NCAA schools as Auburn and Cornell but has yet to make a decision on his playing future. He hasn't ruled out a fifth year at Bluevale.

Bluevale received another outstanding performance from point guard Stefan Cvrkalj, who scored 23 points and earned the respect of the opposition.

“They are an amazing team and No. 3 (Cvrkalj), he is the most underrated player in Canada,” said Hylton. “He’s an incredible player, an incredible player. I’m just glad to have played with someone of that calibre.”

Stefan would have been better ranked is he was playing for a Toronto based HS. For instance, he is far better than Julian Clark, but Clark is playing for the best HS in Toronto.

Moreover, three weeks ago, Stefan outscored Manny Sahota (25 points for Stefan, 8 for Sahota) who is ranked as the best forward in this list.
 
Dragicevich, serbian blood for Notre Dame
15-01-2010
Alex Dragicevich ('91) is currently playing at Glenbrook North HS (Northbrook, Illinois, USA). The american-borned guard -with serbian parents- has committed with Notre Dame (NCAA) and will join the Fighting Irish this fall. Dragicevich ranks as one of the top Class of 2010 prospects in the state of Illinois.
According to Notre Dame web site "Dragicevich, a 6-6, 210-pound shooting guard led his Glenbrook North High School prep team to a 23-5 record in '08-'09 as his squad captured the Central Suburban League North (CSLN) regular-season and tournament crowns. Glenbrook also won regional and sectional titles and reached the Elite Eight of the Illinois state tournament. After averaging 20.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists in his junior season, he was named the CSLN Player of the Year. An all-area selection by the Chicago Sun Times, he garnered first-team all-league honors and was a second team all-state selection. Dragicevich was an all-tournament team honoree at the Proviso West Holiday Tournament and earned MVP honors at the Niles West Thanksgiving Tournament. He has helped Glenbrook North to a combined 61-19 record over three seasons and three CSLN championships. A three-year member of the varsity team, Dragicevich copped first-team all-CSLN honors while averaging 16.3 points per game and earned all-area honorable mention honors. He plays for the Full Package Elite AAU team and led that squad reach the Elite Eight of the gold bracket at the adidas Super 64".
Coach Mike Brey explains that "Alex has great size for a guard. What has impressed me most about his game is how well handles the ball. Alex can really shoot the ball well from the perimeter and is a great fit for our program."

Dragicevich has never played with Serbia but he is already with contacts with the Federation.

Serbians boost local basketball teams

Serbians boost local basketball teams

RECENT IMMIGRANTS BRING A NEW GENERATION OF EASTERN EUROPEAN HOOP STARS

Wheeler junior center Aleksa Kojcinovic and teammate Petar Todorovic, a senior guard, are both of Serbian decent, a culture that has played a key role in Region basketball history.

Petar Todorovic picks up Aleksa Kojcinovic every morning for school. Every day during their drive to Wheeler High School, the same conversation has been taking place lately.
And it’s grown louder each day.
„Aleksa complains about how cold it is,“ Todorovic said with a laugh. „He’s always whining about the cold and the snow.“
Todorovic is a 6-foot-5 guard on the Bearcats’ basketball team. In sixth grade he moved to the United States from Uzice, Serbia, a city of 70,000.
Todorovic’s father owned a bar and restaurant outside of Uzice; his mother was an engineer. But after the civil unrest and bloodshed during the war of the 1990s after the breakup of Yugoslavia, Petar’s family moved to the Region, like thousands before him.
Kojcinovic is Todorovic’s 6-7 teammate at Wheeler. He’s only been in the U.S. since late summer. He is Serbian, but lived in the 40,000-person coastal town of Herceg Novi, Montenegro.
„It’s a resort town,“ Kojcinovic said of his home on the Adriatic Sea. „In the summer a lot of people are there on vacation. In the winter very few are there. It doesn’t get cold like here, and it never snows.“
The two also share a native language and a culture that is a rich part of Region basketball lore.
Kojcinovic is an exchange student. While he still needs a map to get around the Region and his English is still a work in progress, his family does have roots in the area.
His cousin, Milos Pujo, was a standout basketball player for Munster in the mid-1990s.
The Region has been a second home to Serbian immigrants for the past 100 years. The Serbs helped build the steel mills a century ago and worked in them for generations. These „Serbs of Steel“ also learned the American game of basketball and soon came to dominate it.

Conflict resolution
Mirko Blesich was born in a refugee camp in Italy after World War II had ended and the Cold War descended on his home in Serbia. When the Soviet Union dominated Yugoslavia, many Serbs left in droves.
Blesich was one. And so, too, were future East Chicago Washington basketball teammates Nick and Drago Trifunovich. With nothing in their pockets, they ventured to The Harbor hoping their dreams would come true.
„With our European backgrounds, education was everything,“ Blesich said. „We had no affluence. Basketball was our one way to get to college.“
The Serbian culture’s roots in Region basketball began to grow when E.C.W.’s George Savanovich made the 1947 Indiana All-Star team. Then, Ron Divjak led the Senators to the 1960 state championship before heading to Michigan State.
Blesich, a 1965 grad, played in the Pac-10 at Southern Cal. The Trifunovich brothers played at North Carolina State for fellow Serbian Press Maravich, father of „Pistol“ Pete.
„You’d have several hundred Serbs at our games,“ Blesich said. „The pep band would play the Kolo or Chetnik songs, and it was like a sparkplug at games. It brought a lot of pride to the gym.“
And of course Merrillville had Gregg Popovich during the same era. „Pop“ is now the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs with four NBA championship rings. He has returned to Europe to promote basketball to Serbs.
Blesich has followed the stories of current Serbian players such as Todorovic and Kojcinovic. And while civil unrest has been a constant story in Serbia in recent history, the United States, the Region and basketball have been a lifeline for members of the culture.
Blesich used the sport to get to USC and Los Angeles, where he became friends with luminaries such as O.J. Simpson, John Wayne, Bobby Valentine, Bill Buckner and Tom Selleck.
„It was big in the 1960s, and then it kind of reignited when Milan Petrovic and Bo Cucuz took Lake Central to the Final Four (in 1984),“ Blesich said. „It’s great to see this new group of kids playing in the Region. It brings a lot of pride to a lot of people. It’s a wonderful feeling.“

Big game coming
On Tuesday there will be another Serbian festival at Wheeler when the Greater South Shore Conference boys basketball tournament tips off. Bishop Noll, with 6-8 Serbian freshman Milos Kostic (11.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg), will begin first-round play against Todorovic (12.0 ppg, 2.6 apg), Kojcinovic (9.0 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 1.4 bpg) and the Bearcats.
Kostic is from Belgrade, Serbia, and is also new to the States, living with family in Chicago. Noll didn’t allow Kostic to be interviewed for this story, stating that his family wishes for Kostic to focus entirely on learning the English language and focusing on his education.
Northwestern already likes what it has seen and has offered Kostic a scholarship.
In last Wednesday’s 58-48 Wheeler win at Noll, Kostic didn’t play, walking onto the court with crutches after rolling his right ankle at practice two days beforehand. Noll coach Drew Trost said he expects Kostic to play in the GSSC tournament.
„When I saw him on crutches, I got mad,“ Todorovic said. „I wanted to play them at full strength.“
„I know a lot of people came to see all three of us play,“ Kojcinovic said. „I hope he plays this time.“
The three will play on an all-Serbian AAU team this spring. The Fieldhouse in Merrillville will host a national Orthodox tournament after the high school seasons ends.
There are five current Serbian players in the NBA with Peja Stojakovic (New Orleans), Vladimir Radmanovic (Golden State), Darko Milicic (New York), Sasha Pavlovic (Minnesota) and Nenad Krstic (Oklahoma City).
More than 20 other Serbs have played in the NBA, led by the cultural icon Vlade Divac, who in the past has hosted fundraising golf and basketball events in Northwest Indiana due to its large Serbian population.
„My dad has a friend in Chicago who knows Vlade,“ Todorovic said.
Divac was ahead of the trend when he played professionally. His time with the Lakers and Kings, among other teams, preceded the current European invasion in the NBA.
But youngsters move half a world away for a better chance at success all the time. The fact that the American Dream involves a leather ball and an iron hoop for these Serbian transplants should come as no surprise.
„Basketball is a big part of our culture,“ Todorovic said. „I know I love it, and I’m working to be the best I can be.“
„Our people love basketball,“ Kojcinovic said. „I think they always have.“

BOYS BASKETBALL
Notable former Region basketball players of Serbian descent:
Mirko Blesich, Ron Divjak, George Savanovich, Drago Trifunovich and Nick Trifunovich (East Chicago Washington); Butch Djokovich (Lew Wallace); Milan Petrovic, Bo Cucuz (Lake Central); Ray Bulatovich, Gregg Popovich, Lou Stefanovic (Merrillville); Milos Pujo (Munster).

Great an all-serbian team to compete in AAU tournaments. It will surely help our federation to scout them.
 
Nikola Djokovic

Nikola Djokovic

Another serbian prospect is actually playing in USA (Seattle Prep), Nikola Djokovic (6'9", 1992) was a former member of FMP youth teams. Few years ago, he was selected in serbian U15 NT. Due to his height, he will probably used as center although he isn't very skilled for that position (that's why he don't impact the game as much as he should). If I was his coach, I would use him as a SF because he plays outside well. He is a great shooter for his size.
 
Stefan Cvrkalj tournament MVP.

Stefan Cvrkalj tournament MVP.

The #1 Bluevale Knights were down two starters this past weekend, but it didn't matter as the remaining players stepped up their game to help BCI capture the Mike Moser tournament (co-hosted this year by BCI & FHCI).

In the final, the Knights defeated a very good St. Theresa's team from Midland 68-55. Stefan Cvrkalj (tournament MVP) led Bluevale with 39 points.

However, the key for Bluevale might have been how other players stepped up in the absence of Andrew & Karsten Beney, who were both resting up various injuries for the stretch drive.

Drew Ballak & Fraser Voll were both named as tournament all-stars, while normal sixth-man turned starter Perrin Smith (in place of Andrew Beney) put home ten points in the 4th quarter of the finals.

Adam Zack (Karsten Beney's replacement) had good defensive energy while reserves Jeff Dinsmore and Jamie Balsillie saw more minutes than usual and filled in admirably.

Earlier on in the tournament, Bluevale handled CWOSSA foes JF Ross 59-55 (Cvrkalj, 28) and St. Benedict 43-34 (Cvrkalj, 15).

With the Knights playing Galt and Elmira before the exam break, don't expect to see the Beneys back in action this week. The Knights will need their services down the stretch as they hope to capture both the WCSSAA & CWOSSA crowns.

Amazing game by Dejan Kravic.

Serbian power forward Dejan Kravic had an amazing yesterday night. His team York won the game easily. Dejan had 19 points (shooting 9/12 from the field), 7 rebounds and 1 block in only 14 minutes on the court. No foul trouble BTW, he only committed 2 fouls. :D
 
Girl basketball talent Nevena Markovic

Girl basketball talent Nevena Markovic

Looking for new serbian prospects in US high schools, I found the name of a talented teenage girl, Nevena Markovic. She is 6'4" tall (born in 1993). She is playing for Glenbard South HS.

The Knights also had nobody to counter 6-foot-4 Raiders center Nevena Markovic, who finished with 18 points and 8 rebounds.

"We worked all week on our offense, blue, which is our post-oriented offense. She was smart about where she was supposed to be," Fonda said. "(Kaneland's Kelly Evers) was on her like glue all night, so for her to rise above, that's a good stepping stone for Nevena right now. She needed that, to be kind of pushed around in a game and still execute and produce for us."

"I just got the ball and I wanted to score," Markovic said. "I got off to a good start."
