Bloomington South’s Anthony Leal is Indiana Mr. Basketball for 2019-20; Hamilton Southeastern’s Sydney Parrish is Miss Basketball
Bloomington South’s Anthony Leal is Indiana’s Mr. Basketball for the 2019-20 season, while Hamilton Southeastern’s Sydney Parris was Miss Basketball, it was announced Friday by the Indianapolis Star.
The MaxPreps Indiana Player of the Year, as well, Leal is signed to go to Indiana, while Parrish — the Gatorade Indiana Girls Basketball Player of the Year in 2018-19 — is headed to Oregon.
The second Mr. Basketball winner from Bloomington South (Jordan Hulls, 2009), Leal is the third straight Mr. Basketball winner to commit to the Hoosiers (Trayce Jackson-Davis and Romeo Langford), and the 29th overall among the 84 honorees. (Purdue is second with 10, but has only had one — Caleb Swanigan in 2015 — since Glenn Robinson in 1991.)
“So thankful for everyone who has impacted me up to this point. No better way to transition to IU than with this incredible award,” Leal tweeted out after the announcement. “Now the work really starts. Go Hoosiers!”
Annually given out by the Indianapolis Star, Indiana’s Mr. Basketball award is the oldest of its kind, dating back to 1939. Miss Basketball dates back to 1976.
Parrish is the first winner of Miss Basketball from Hamilton Southeastern, and the first winner to be headed to a Pac-12 school.
