Jalen Brooks finished the season as the second leading scorer at 14.9 points per game and leading rebounder at 6.4 per game. Jalen will be continuing his college career at St. Norbert's College in Wisconsin. Jalen Clanton closes out a very impressive career, as a three year starter on the varsity, including being a starter and key player on the 2015 sectional title team as a sophomore. Jalen had many big scoring games throughout his career and finished his career as the fourth leading scorer in school history at 1334 career points and led the Bulldogs this season with an 18.6 points per game average. Jalen is undecided of his post high school plans, but will be playing basketball somewhere next year.

The loss also marks the final game in the illustrious career of Head Coach, Tom McCloskey. Coach McCloskey has announced his retirement and has more than left his mark on the Bulldog Basketball program during his career. Coach McCloskey finishes his career as the all-time winningest and most successful coach in RB Basketball history, with a 360-204 (63.8%) overall record. Coach McCloskey won 15 conference titles at RB, 4 regional championships, and the only sectional championship in school history, advancing to the elite eight in class 4A in 2015. Coach McCloskey helped elevate RB into one of the premier basketball programs in the Chicago area over the past 16 years. He has impacted hundreds of kids in the RB community over the years and has helped create such a positive culture within our basketball program. Coach McCloskey was a head coach at RB for 21 years and head coach at Montini Catholic for 4 years, while serving as an assistant at RB, Nazareth, Downers Grove North, and Hinsdale Central for 10+ years as well. He finishes his career with an overall 437-236 record. He was named Illinois Basketball Coaches District Coach of the year 9 times, and was inducted into the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in the fall of 2015. Coach McCloskey has been a true class act during his time at RBHS and the Bulldog basketball program wishes him a happy and healthy retirement. Thanks for everything coach!
