The three other Hamilton County players who will participate are Luke Almodovar of Noblesville, Spencer White of Carmel and Alex Romack of Westfield.
Statistical evaluation, game observation and statewide research were conducted throughout the season to determine Hoosier Basketball Magazine’s Top 60. Two sessions of the Top 60 Senior Workout will be hosted on Sunday, March 26, 2023 by Hoosier Basketball Magazine, in conjunction with the IHSAA and the IBCA, at Marian University in Indianapolis (3200 N. Cold Spring Road).
Boys primarily from Northern and Southern Indiana will participate in the first session (1 to 3 p.m.). The remaining players, mostly from Central Indiana, will compete during the second session (3:30 to 5:30 p.m.).
Coach Christopher Hawkins (Indianapolis Attucks) will direct both sessions. Four other outstanding IBCA coaches— Donnie Bowling (Anderson), Brent Dalrymple (North Daviess), Greg Dean (Fountain Central) and Ryan Miller (Providence)— have been invited to assist with on-court coaching.
KnowYourBaller will be filming the Boys Top 60 Senior Workout again this year. They will provide summary videos with all pertinent clips for participating players.
Both sessions are open to the public for admission fee of $8.00 ($5 for elementary age students).
