With 26 points in the Class A state finals Saturday, Triton’s Clay Yeo set a new all-time Marshall County scoring record of 1,992 points to close out his career with the Trojans.
Culver Girls Academy senior Andrijana Cvitkovic was named to the Indiana-Kentucky All-Star series last week.
Cvitkovic will play in the home-and-home series early this summer.
INDIANAPOLIS — The one thing Triton boys basketball head coach Jason Groves wanted to avoid, happened.
The Trojans fell behind early, and despite a Class A State Finals record-setting fourth quarter, never quite recovered in a 55-50 loss to Borden at Bankers Life Fieldhouse Saturday.
Making its fourth appearance in the state finals since 2008, Triton finished 4 of 16 from the field in the first half and never led against the Braves, although Triton’s second-half switch from man to a 1-3-1 halfcourt zone trap yielded dividends.
INDIANAPOLIS — In many ways, Saturday’s Class A boys basketball state finals played out as a reversal of fortunes.

To be a member of the Indiana All-Star team and become a part of the history and tradition is unbelievable,” Cvitkovic said. “I am looking forward to playing with several of the girls who I got to know on the Junior All-Star team and competed against in AAU.”
