    For the second straight year, Indiana’s Mr. Basketball is headed to Bloomington to play college basketball.

    Center Grove’s Trayce Jackson-Davis is the 2019 winner of the prestigious honor signifying the best high school player in the state of Indiana.  The Greenwood, Ind. native follows in the footsteps of Romeo Langford as an Indiana Mr. Basketball award recipient that will play for IU after high school.

    The back-to-back honor for IU signees is significant and highlights the success of head coach Archie Miller’s focus on recruiting within the Hoosier state..  Prior to Langford, no Indiana Mr. Basketball had gone to IU since Cody Zeller in 2011.

    The award was announced on Sunday night at Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis.  IU bound Jorie Allen from Bedford North Lawrence won the Miss Basketball award.

    According to the Indy Star, Jackson-Davis was voted as the winner on 179 of 311 ballots.  IU signee Armaan Franklin finished third with 32 votes.

    Center Grove High School’s Trayce Jackson-Davis has been named the 2019 Indiana Mr. Basketball. TJD is CG’s 1st Mr. Basketball & 3rd one from Johnson County. Congrats Trayce! #TrojanPride #CGProud @CGTrojanHoops pic.twitter.com/aOBSZreWRR

    As a senior at Center Grove, Jackson-Davis averaged 22 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game.  He shot 62% from the field for the season.

    The 6-foot-9 forward led the Trojans to the semi-state round of the 2019 Indiana Class 4A state tournament.  Center Grove reached at least the regional round three times during Jackson-Davis’ career.

    Jackson-Davis was also a McDonald’s All-American and a 2018 USA Basketball gold medalist.
