Kentucky Basketball 2019 recruit Keion Brooks ended his high school career today as La Lumeriere School lost in the National Championship game to IMG Academy.
Here is the report from USA Today:
MIDDLE VILLAGE, N.Y. – Just after coming back from 16 points down in the fourth quarter and knocking off No. 3 Montverde (Fla.) Academy in the GEICO High School Nationals semifinals on Friday, IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) coach Sean McAloon said he’d “never been a part of a game like this.”
McAloon and the No. 4 Ascenders experienced another first on Saturday, knocking off No. 1 La Lumiere School (La Porte, Ind.) 66-55 to claim the national title.
It’s the first national title in any sport in the school’s history and was also La Lumiere’s first loss of the season.
Josh Green led the Ascenders with 19 points, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, who was named tournament MVP, had 18 points and Jaden Springer posted 12 points, seven assists and five rebounds.
Keion Brooks led La Lumiere with 15 points and Isaiah Stewart added 14 points and seven rebounds for the Lakers.
