Saturday morning I was assigned to cover Ziosnville’s first regional game in 23 years. 2019 Purdue commit Isaiah Thompson had 26 points and broke Brad Stevens’ school record with a full year to go, but the Eagles bowed out 55-51 to Fort Wayne North, who played in last year’s state title game.
The Legends are led by Keion Brooks, who is the top rated player in the 2019 class in Indiana, and he is 22nd nationally. It was the first time I had a chance to see him play in person, and he was impressive. He only had 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks, but he showcased some insane athleticism and showed why Matt Painter has been after him for a while.
