Jeannie Boehm
New Trier, F, Jr.
2014-15 stats: 15.9 ppg, 10.4 rpg, 2.2 apg
College: Undecided
Most of the time, the 6-foot-3 Boehm was the best player on a Trevians team that finished third in Class 4A. Boehm was an efficient offensive player in the post, shooting 57 percent, and a defensive stopper on the other end, constantly creating problems for opposing players in the paint with her length and athleticism. Boehm earned first-team honors in Class 3A/4A from the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.
Q: What was one of your favorite non-playing memories from this season?
A: We started the season by eating at the Rock ‘n’ Roll McDonald’s in downtown Chicago after our game at Phillips. After our last game of the season in Normal, someone on the bus said — and I don’t remember who — we should eat at McDonald’s. It was a cool way to end.
Q: Have you narrowed down your list of colleges, and when do you expect to make a decision on where to play after New Trier?

A: A bunch of colleges watched me play this season: a few from the Ivy League, a bunch from the Big Ten and a handful from the ACC. I have a list, but I have not made it official. I will soon. I am definitely aiming to decide before the summer AAU season.
Q: Spencer is the youngest of six Boehm children. He plays basketball and will be a freshman at New Trier in 2015-16. What advice do you have for him when he enters high school?
A: He’s 14 years old and 6-foot-6. He might be the best of all of us. The biggest thing for me growing up was just watching my older brothers play. I think I picked up a lot of things from them. I am not sure I can say anything to Spencer, except take it all in. He will be fine.
