The Thornton Fractional South Red Wolves are set to commence the 2025–26 basketball season with a confident outlook and a robust roster poised for competition in the challenging South Suburban Conference. Following a productive offseason, T.F. South is focused on integrating speed, defense, and experience into a successful strategy.
According to the team’s schedule, the Red Wolves will begin their campaign on November 25 at the Battle at the Ridge Thanksgiving Tournament against Northridge, followed by a game against Wheeling on November 28. Early non-conference games against Hammond and Highland in December are expected to enhance the team’s offensive cohesion and test its depth ahead of league play.
Conference action intensifies with a home game against Blue Island Eisenhower on December 12. January will feature significant matchups with Richards, Oak Lawn, and Oak Forest — games that are anticipated to influence the conference standings significantly. The midseason period includes several crucial home games where T.F. South’s defense and energy could be pivotal.
The season concludes in February with a rivalry game against Thornton Fractional North and two notable non-conference contests versus Lincoln-Way Central and Hansberry. With a well-rounded lineup and experienced leadership, the Red Wolves aim to protect their home court advantage and compete for a top position in the South Suburban Conference.
