INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Jordan Hulls, who led Bloomington South to
an undefeated season and the Class 4A tourney championship, is
Indiana's high school Mr. Basketball for 2009.
The 6-foot guard was the overwhelming favorite in statewide
voting announced in today's editions of The Indianapolis Star. He
received 131 votes from coaches and media members, while Bruce
Grimm Jr. of 3A runner-up Rochester was a distant second with 26
votes.
Tipton's Derek Elston was third with 18 votes, followed by D.J.
Byrd of North Montgomery with 16 and Scott Wood of Marion with 15.
Twenty other players received 12 or fewer votes.
Hulls calls the Mr. Basketball title a tremendous honor. He'll
remain in Bloomington next season as a freshman at Indiana, where
he hopes to help his hometown college team rebound from the
worst-ever season.
