Haverman's Return Boosts Belleville East Ahead of Carbondale Tourney
Belleville East Lancers brace for Carbondale holiday tournament as star guard Haverman returns after a 20.3 point season and 10.5 rebound average. Wayne Schmittling remains uncertain with a hand injury, possibly affecting ball handling and shooting. Coach Don Otness, noting two starters out, says the team aims to elevate from a five seed and could become East's best ever with adjustments. If East defeats East Moline, they face the Thornridge Marion winner next.
