22nd Annual Illinois Fall Showcase
(Event Pointers)
“The Spot-Lite Event was ground-breaking event for fall hoop activities back in the early 90’s.”

We will tip off Saturday, September 12th with the high-school team format taking center stage at 3:30pm.  The school division will feature high-school programs from the southern & central part of the state, also joining the competitive field will be teams from our neighboring states Indiana and possibly Iowa.  The tournament alignment will resume play on Sunday morning with some key match-ups taking place as the team vie for the Spot-Lite Fall Championship.

Notable Teams Committed:  Metamora, Von Steuben, Lake Park, Fenwick, Farragut, Plainfield Central, East Aurora, De LaSalle, Lincoln Park, Thornridge, Springfield Lanphier, North Scott (Iowa), Hammond High (IN), Indianapolis Lawrence North, Decatur MacArthur, East St. Louis, Plainfield South, Hales Franciscan, Hyde Park, Richards, Willowbrook.

Sunday’s early matinee will feature blue chip prospects from across the state, most will strut in with their collection of press-clippings saddled in their backpacks.  We have a surplus of 2016 prospects arriving who will be out to prove they have been vastly under-evaluated with their recruitment.  Our 2017 and 2018 classes will be well represented by some notable young up & coming players.  Then there will be some 15-20 prospects who will be under the radar and this event will be their coming-out-party where they can make a splash and create some buzz/coverage for themselves.

The cozy Plainfield Central facility which houses 5 courts with spectator seating surrounding them.
