Rock Island's Chasson Randle has been chosen as the Gatorade Illinois Boys Basketball Player of the Year, adding another honor as his team prepares to do battle in the state semi-finals in Peoria.
Randle led the Rocks to a 28-3 record this season while averaging over 22 points and 7 rebounds a game.
Last summer, Randle was part of the USA U17 National Team that won the World Title. He will be playing at Stanford next season.
Chasson currently has a 4.0 GPA and is one of the state's top academic honorees for meeting the Gatorade criteria. He donates time as a basketball instructor and also volunteers his time with his church, Families First, The Peace Builders Program and the Salvation Army.
