CHAMPAIGN — One of the top boys’ basketball players the last three years in Champaign is transferring.
Doug Wallen said on Monday he will play his senior season at Champaign Central after earning News-Gazette First Team All-Area accolades the last three seasons with St. Thomas More, where he scored more than 1,500 points.
“I want to play basketball in college,” Wallen said. “I just think this move will help me increase my chances to get noticed more and help in my recruitment.”
Wallen does not have any offers from colleges at the moment, but said he is receiving some interest from Western Illinois and Belmont.
