Chicago, IL (January 21, 2015) —The Chicago Sky has selected Reavis High School as the sixth “High School
Team of the Week” winner for its 2015 competition. They earned the honor after being
nominated for outstanding efforts and achievements within their team and the local community.
The Reavis Rams compete in the IHSA’s South Suburban Conference. The varsity team is in the
midst of one of its most successful seasons in program history. The Rams are currently 17-2 and
hold a perfect 6-0 record in conference play. As the team enters the final stretch of the season, it
will rely on teamwork and an all-around effort to finish atop the conference.
Away from the basketball court, Reavis athletes are exceptional students and community
members. As a team, the Rams maintain a cumulative 3.5 GPA, with each member of the starting
five boasting a GPA of 3.6 or higher. Additionally, nearly every Rams player is an Honor Roll or
National Honor Society member. Outside of school hours, the girls dedicate their time to
volunteer work. Several Reavis athletes serve as teaching assistants for a local CCD program,
where they spend their Sundays reading to elementary school children and assisting with class
projects.
Reavis High School joins Oswego High School, Luther North College Prep, Glenbard East High
School, Beecher High School, and J. Sterling Morton High School as 2015 award recipients. As
a Chicago Sky “High School Basketball Team of the Week” honoree, the Reavis Rams are
invited to enjoy a Chicago Sky game, where they will have the opportunity to watch the world’s
best female basketball players. During the game, they will be recognized on the court.
All teams that compete in IHSA class 1A, 2A, 3A or 4A competitions are eligible to win the
weekly honor. Nominations from parents, coaches, school faculty members and players are
welcome and should be completed on the Chicago Sky website (www.chicagosky.net) through
March 4.
At the end of the 12-week program, each winning team will be entered to win the Chicago Sky’s
2015 “High School Team of the Year” award. The winner, determined through online voting,
will be announced during halftime of a 2015 Chicago Sky game.
