MAPLE PARK – The Kaneland boys basketball team entered the season with little returning firepower, scarce size, an injured point guard and not much in the outside shooting department.

That might not sound like the recipe for a championship season, but the Knights are showing a knack for defying convention.

As the calendar nears February, the surging Knights are knocking on the door of a Northern Illinois Big 12 East title. Kaneland is 5-1 in NI Big 12 East play with four conference games to go, two games ahead of a trio of teams that are 3-3 in the conference.
