More than 100 children and parents braved the heavy snow and ice to come learn basketball moves from Brody and 1989 University of Illinois All American and former NBA star Kenny Battle.

Basketball has taken the former Lake Forest High School star all over the globe.
Basketball has brought the world to former Lake Forest High School standout Eddie Cage. “Europe has been really great,” said Cage, who lives in Andorra, a small, southwestern European country bordered by Spain and France. “I have also played in Dubai and Luxembourg for short stints. It has really been a blessing to get the chance to play in Europe for so many years. I have been to a lot of places that, growing up, I never thought I would see. When we do get some free time, which is very little, I’ve been able to go to Athens, Milan, London, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin, Hamburg, Glasgow and other places that are not as familiar.” His final hoops season at Lake Forest High School came 16 years ago.

Lake Forest Academy's Dylan Ennis’ love for the game of basketball extends back to as long as he can remember. “I’ve been playing basketball since I was 4 years old,” said Ennis. “I picked up a basketball the day I started kindergarten; it makes me who I am. No matter what I am doing or where I am, basketball is always on my mind.” The years of play and practice have helped Ennis bust out this year to the tune of 23 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 blocks per game.
