The Oilers also displayed some impressive athleticism and height with Jamie Rosteo and Joel Biesk, both 6-foot-3 boys, and East Alton-Wood River also has a 6-4 boy returning in Hunter Hall, who was playing baseball Monday.

“We are going to have some decent height for the first time since I have been here,” Duncan said. “This is probably the first time we have had three or four guys over 6-2 since I arrived. The height should help.”

Duncan sees the importance of summer basketball for his kids and said they have picked up 30 games over June and July.

“Summer basketball is a huge deal and I think we have improved a lot because of it,” Duncan said. “It helps some of the younger guys get some varsity time. Overall, I am optimistic about this upcoming basketball season. Our kids are improving.”
