Star-filled Roster For Team Indiana At Saturday's Prep Ball Stars Midwest Challenge
Seven Indiana All-Stars, including Mr. Basketball Braylon Mullins of Greenfield-Central, will headline the 7th annual Prep Ball Stars Midwest Challenge on Saturday at Farmers Bank Fieldhouse in Lebanon.
If that was not enough talent, Team Indiana will also have top-100 players Jalen Haralson (Notre Dame) and Trent Sisley (Indiana) on the roster.
“I’m excited for this event as I have been for any of the seven,” said event founder and organizer Tony Leach. “This will be the first time Trent Sisley, Jalen Haralson and Braylon Mullins (UConn) will play together. On paper, it’s a ‘dream team’ for Team Indiana.”
The event, which features senior all-star teams from Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, will be played at the 1,500-seat main court at Farmers Bank Fieldhouse. Team Michigan will play Team Illinois at 11 a.m., followed by Team Indiana vs. Team Wisconsin at 12:30 p.m. There will be a senior girls showcase game at 2 p.m. as Indiana will play Illinois, followed by the boys consolation at 3:30 p.m., and the championship at 5 p.m.
All four Mr. Basketball finalists – Mullins, Jeffersonville’s Tre Singleton (Northwestern), Lawrence North’s Azavier Robinson (Butler) and Crispus Attucks’ Dezmon Briscoe (Kent State) – will participate. Other Indiana All-Stars are Cathedral’s Brady Koehler (Notre Dame), Fishers’ Justin Kirby (Miami of Ohio) and Ben Davis’ Mark Zachery IV (Notre Dame football). Other players on the roster are Jett Turner of Tindley (Alabama A&M), Zionsville’s Maguire Mitchell (IU Indy), South Bend St. Joseph’s Chase Konieczny (Florida Gulf Coast), Anderson’s Damien King (Tennessee-Martin) and Crispus Attucks’ Chris Hurt (IU-South Bend).
Haralson, who played his final two high school seasons at La Lumiere, and Sisley, who attended Montverde Academy (Fla.) as a senior, are the two prep school players on the 14-member roster.
General admission tickets are $18 in advance and $20 at the door.
Team Wisconsin’s roster includes Iowa State recruit Jamarion Batemon, Alabama recruit Amari Allen and Canisius recruit Javonte Edwards.
“You aren’t going to Iowa State or Alabama if you can’t play,” Leach said. “Team Wisconsin is coming with a good group.”
Headliners for Team Michigan are Markus Blackwell (Eastern Illinois), Leroy Blyden (Toledo) and Keshawn Fisher (Detroit). Parker Lepla is a 6-8 UIndy commit. Team Illinois’ roster has E.J. Mosley (Purdue Fort Wayne), E.J. Horton (North Texas) and Ross Robertson (Northern Michigan).
The Indiana girls’ roster will be headlined by Lawrence Central standout Jaylah Lampley (Mississippi State), along with Pendleton Heights’ Kaycie Warfel (Taylor), Lawrence North’s Kya Hurt (Illinois State) and Jamaya Thomas (Northern Kentucky), Warsaw’s Brooke Winchester (Ball State), South Knox’s Ella Bobe (Southern Indiana), Greensburg’s Leah West (Belmont) and Columbia City’s Addison Baxter (Butler).
The Team Illinois girls will have Nora Ezike (Stanford), Diann Jackson (Buffalo) and Cyra Conwell (Northern Illinois) among its top players.
