Projected starting senior point guard Alena Pranckevicius tore her ACL in August while competing in a summer league game as a member of the Lady Renegades traveling team.

“The team we were playing was running a press,” Pranckevicius recalled. “I was trying to run through the press and I felt a pop in my knee.”

Pranckevicius had surgery and continues to rehab. She is expected to miss the first two months of the 2011-12 campaign and is scheduled to return to regular season games in January.

In the meantime, the underclassmen will be asked to assume veteran-type roles. Last season, Lemont’s appearance in the playoffs came to a close following a 65-49 loss to Morgan Park in a Class 3A Evergreen Park regional championship. The Indians defeated Rich East 48-33 in the previous round. Click here to continue reading.
