School: Loyola Academy
2014-15 record: 17-13 (6-5 Catholic North)
Postseason results: Lost to Evanston in Class 4A regional semifinals.
Players to watch: Senior guard Brandon Danowki is one of the area's top perimeter shooters and he's complimented nicely by do-it-all junior guard Ramar Evans. Freshman guard Andre White Jr. also has some buzz building among the local basketball community.
Did you know?: Loyola still finished over .500, but last season's 13 losses was one more than the previous two seasons combined.
Why they're in the Power Rankings: Head coach Tom Livatino is one of the area's best coaches and when he has talent and experience on the perimeter, his teams usually have big seasons. Danowski and Evans form one of the area's best backcourts and expectations are high for the Ramblers.
