The Mash

Chicago may be hosting the McDonald’s All-American Games–a  showcase for the nation’s top boys and girls basketball players–but they won’t have much of an Illinois flavor–on the court, at least.

The lone boys nominee from Illinois, Simeon’s Steve Taylor, didn’t make the cut when the official rosters were announced on Thursday. On the girls side, however, three Chicago-area girls were selected to play at the United Center: Janee Thompson, Jewell Loyd and Morgan Tuck. See the full rosters below.
