Two freshman make the cut for top players in the state
By Charlotte Jacobs
On March 12, the top 20 high school basketball recruit rankings for the class of 2013 were announced on INDYSTAR.com. Among the several schools listed, our own North Central made a double appearance.
John Murray, small forward, and Darius Latham, power forward, appear as #12 and #13 on the list.
Latham explains how the team and him prepare for the basketball season.
“We spend a lot of time in the weight room getting prepared, plus there’s practice after school” said Latham.
Latham, prior to our interview was not informed that he’s among the top basketball recruits.
“I’d like to thank my mama, and little league coach,” Latham said, “But I owe it all to Coach Mitchell for giving me the chance to play up on varsity.”
Darius is going to finish out the season on varsity and hopes to be in the varsity starting line up next year.
“If I could tell the kids at my middle school that want to play basketball anything, I’d tell them to always try their best and never give up.”
John Murray was not available to comment on the subject, but will be later informed that he has made the list, too.
