PLAYER TO WATCH 👀
Trevin Harris
An athletic 6-foot-2 senior, Harris earned a spot on the Knox Morrow Athletic Conference first team after averaging 12.1 points a game.
KEY STAT 📊
13.8
Points a game scored by Isaiah Sule, Centerburg’s dynamic senior guard. Trevin Harris is coming off a fine football season and looks to extend his success to the hardwood.
OUTLOOK 🔮
The Trojans lost Grayson Reynolds, a KMAC first-teamer and the conference’s assists leader, to graduation. With Harris and Sule back for their senior seasons, Centerburg should vie for a KMAC crown.
