Woodstock boys basketball coach Alex Baker recalled a conversation with his assistants during the fall before the Blue Streaks started practice.

The subject was Jordan Turner, Woodstock’s 6-foot-3 senior guard and leading scorer from the previous season, who again would be the player who stirred the Streaks.

“I told them I didn’t think I’ve ever had a player who had as good a sophomore year and junior year as Jordan had, and then improved so much his senior year,” Baker said. “A lot of guys have success and take their foot off the gas a little bit.”
