    Indiana Mr. Basketball

    From Wikipedia - Reading time: 10 min

    Eric Gordon playing for North Central High School (March 5, 2007)

    The Indiana Mr. Basketball honor recognizes the top high school basketball player in the state of Indiana. The award is presented annually by The Indianapolis Star.[1] The first Indiana Mr. Basketball was George Crowe of Franklin High School in 1939.[2] The Indiana Mr. Basketball award is the oldest such award in the nation, predating the second oldest by over a decade; California would be the next state with such an award in 1950.[3] Only seniors are eligible to win the award.
