Simeon defeated Morgan Park 53-51 at Chicago State’s gym on Wednesday, but a fight broke out during the postgame handshake lines.

The two teams were eventually ushered to their locker rooms after some pushing and shoving.

Outside the gym, shots were fired, and 17-year old Tyrone Lawson was shot and killed. Two suspects were apprehended.

Simeon is the high school of Jabari Parker, a commit to Duke and one of the top-two high school players in the country.

Jabari Parker has enjoyed the calm return to strictly playing basketball following the announcement of his commitment to Duke.

“I’m so glad that’s over,” said Parker. “I have never been a guy who likes a bunch of attention, and ever since I committed to Duke last month it’s pretty much calmed down. Now that I’m back to playing it feels good to just be able to focus on getting my game back. That’s all I’m focused on.”

Parker returned from a fractured foot suffered in July during the month of December. Parker is still getting his timing and stamina back.

Parker admitted that he “probably came back a few weeks too early.”

Mason Plumlee, Trey Burke and Doug McDermott are the leaders of ESPN's initial straw poll for 2013 Player of the Year.

Plumlee leads the poll of 63 voters with 126 points and 30 first-place votes, followed by Burke with 99 points and 13 first-place votes and McDermott with 97 points and 16 first-place votes. 

Cody Zeller is a distant fourth this season.

Duke, UCLA, Arizona and Florida have recently inquired about JaQuan Lyle, a 6-foot-4 point guard who is considered one of the top juniors nationally.

"(Those four) have all kind of reached out here in the last couple weeks with the great start that he's had," Lyle’s head coach, Shane Burkhart said. "That's added on to the 10 schools he had already come down to."

Lyle had previously cut his list to Indiana, Cincinnati, Georgetown, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas and Xavier.

Lyle has recorded a triple-double in seven of his first nine games this season.

"This past week, we had a tough game against Thurgood Marshall (High School) out of Ohio, but he still had 14 points, eight rebounds and eight assists," Burkhart said. "Those are fantastic numbers, and he gets chastised because he doesn't have more. He pushes himself very hard to be an elite basketball player. He has to continue to grow maturation-wise, and has to understand how hard he has to work every day in order to be as good as he wants, but the start of the season that he's had has been matched by no other that I've been around."

Jabari Parker privately sought the counsel of Grant Hill while rehabbing from a fractured bone in his right ankle.

“I talked to Grant and he just told me not to rush the process with my injury,” said Parker, who last month committed to Hill’s alma mater, Duke.  “He had the same problems with his feet so he knows what that’s like.”

Parker has shown recent improvement, averaging 15.3 points and 8.3 rebounds at the Pontiac Holiday Tournament.

Parker was given the tournament’s A.C. Williams Award, becoming the first player to win the award three times.

“I don’t have the young legs anymore,” quipped Parker. “I’m old. I’m a vet right now.”
