Ohmer commits to WKU basketball, Hollingsworth earns honors

Entering this past week’s 100th Whitaker Bank/KHSAA Boys Sweet Sixteen State Basketball Tournament, Scott High School’s Jake Ohmer was verbally committed to play both college baseball and basketball at the University of the Cumberlands.

It turns out Ohmer won’t be residing in Williamsburg the next four years. On Monday, he committed to play basketball at WKU.

With WKU head men’s basketball coach Rick Stansbury watching each, Ohmer poured in 106 points in the three games he and Scott played in. Garnering attention of not only the thousands of fans at the University of Kentucky’s Rupp Arena, but also the veteran head coach’s, Stansbury offered Ohmer a full scholarship to play Division I basketball on the Hill.
