Class of 2008 Highland Park High School star Josh Bartelstein has decided to attend Phillip Exeter Academy, one of the top prep school in the United States. Bartelstein will now be recruitable as 2009 prospect after his postgraduate season at Phillip Exeter.


Bartelstein, a 6-3 guard, is known for his ability to play both guard slots, and his ability to shoot the basketball. This past season at Highland Park, Bartelstein teamed with Cornell-bound Chris Wroblewski to form one of the top backcourt duo's in the state of Illinois.

Bartelstein was outstanding last July when he led the Rising Stars Blue team to a Top 30 finish at the AAU National Tournament in Orlando, Florida. He continued that strong play during the high school season by sinking better than 50 three-point baskets.

Bartelstein was a 1st Team All-Conference selection, in addition to being named to the prestigious All-Pioneer Press Team, and also being named to the All-Tournament Team at both the Moline Thanksgiving Tournament, and the Elgin Holiday Tournament.

Phillip Exeter Academy is one of the elite academic institutions in the United States. Former Lake Forest star Dan Nelms recently did a postgraduate season at Phillip Exeter, and is currently a standout for Davidson College, which advanced all the way to the Elite 8 this past season.

At 6-3, Bartelstein is expected to primarily play point guard for Phillip Exeter, and should be a hot commodity for both Ivy League and Patriot League schools.
