After a signal from coach Mike Ellis, Jaheim Holden hopped from the bench with a grin, shed his warmup T-shirt, and knelt on the sideline, poised to run onto the court. His teammates Lance Jones and Ryan Bost joined him, and for four minutes and 21 seconds of play, the three freshmen dominated the court.<\/p>\n

Fueled by a pass from Bost, Holden drove easily past the overwhelmed St. Ignatius defenders for a layup. The Wildkits on the bench exploded with cheers for the 5-foot-7 guard and began chanting gleefully.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s-a-fresh-man, he\u2019s-a-fresh-man,\u201d they howled.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

[vimeo 155702142 w=500 h=281]<\/p>\n

While Holden, Jones and Bost get extensive playing time on Evanston\u2019s undefeated sophomore team, they practice with the varsity players and sit on the bench at every game. But the 68-32 win over St. Ignatius was effectively the first time all season the Wildkits\u2019 three freshmen had left the bench for the varsity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got minutes against Loyola,\u201d Bost said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, 30 seconds,\u201d Holden snickered, and all three boys dissolved into giggles. But impatience and a yearning to play simmers just below the carefree surface. They don\u2019t like sitting on the bench.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s something I\u2019m not used to,\u201d Bost said. \u201cI\u2019m used to playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holden, Jones and Bost all play on AAU teams, where they\u2019ve competed against highly talented players their own age. \u201cWe\u2019ve been on bigger circuits than this,\u201d Holden explained, \u201cagainst some of the top players in the country\u2026If we can compete with them, we can compete with anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody,\u201d Jones and Bost echoed.<\/p>\n

Ellis said he understands the freshmen\u2019s struggle to adjust to less playing time than they\u2019re used to. \u201cThey\u2019re coming in having been the best of the best,\u201d he explained. \u201cAll of those guys were the best player on their teams; all of them received MVP awards at AAU tournaments.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow they\u2019re coming into a practice and environment where they\u2019re no longer \u2018the man,\u2019 so now they kind of have to re-learn the game and understand what things they\u2019re going to need to bring to the table to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite their impatience, Holden, Bost and Jones said they know they benefit from practicing with the other boys on varsity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a good experience,\u201d Bost said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the competition that we go through every day,\u201d Jones added. \u201cIt gets us better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellis said he believes the freshmen gain the most from participating in the varsity practices and playing in the sophomore games. \u201cWe want all the players to be at a level where they\u2019re going to play the most minutes and have the largest impact,\u201d he said. \u201cFor [the freshmen], obviously them playing almost the entire game at the sophomore level is an advantage for their growth, compared to just playing minimal minutes at the varsity level.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then having them set up with the opportunity to practice against the varsity guys every day is only going to benefit their growth and development down the line. We\u2019ve had 71 practices so far, so for them to play against [the older players] 71 times versus playing 20 scheduled games, it\u2019s definitely going to impact [them] in a positive way.\u201d<\/p>\n

But practicing at such a competitive level comes with a risk of overwhelming the freshmen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey just take you out if you mess up [a play],\u201d Bost said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s embarrassing,\u201d Jones added.<\/p>\n

Still, Ellis said he has high hopes for the future of his varsity team with Jones, Holden and Bost. \u201cIt\u2019s just going to come down to their drive to succeed and work hard, and their love for the game,\u201d Ellis said.<\/p>\n

The three freshmen hunger to hold their own and insist they can. \u201cI know I can compete with them,\u201d Holden said.<\/p>\n

Back in practice, the Wildkits begin running a passing drill. Holden\u2019s turn comes, and with the speed of a rabbit, he bounds down the court to keep up with his teammates. He completes the layup and darts back to the opposite end of the court to get back in line, ready again to run. Ready again to compete.<\/p>\n
