INDIANAPOLIS – Basketball icon Bobby “Slick” Leonard, the fabled eight-time state champion Muncie Central Bearcats, the winningest active coaches in Indiana boys and girls high school basketball and the 2019 Indiana High School Athletic Association boys and girls state champions will be the 2018-19 Indiana Pacers Hickory Night honorees, the Pacers announced today.
The Pacers also will wear their maroon and gold Hickory jerseys on the Hickory Nights at Bankers Life Fieldhouse as well as road games at the Los Angeles Lakers (Nov. 29) and Philadelphia (March 10). The Nike Classic Edition is a modern take on the uniforms of Hickory High as worn in the 1987 cinematic classic Hoosiers.
