From the MaxPreps release:
Trey Lyles, Arsenal Technical (Indianapolis)
POY credentials: Lyles has helped Arsenal go 11-1 against a challenging schedule, posting 22.7 points, 13.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. The Louisville pledge put up 37 and 14 in a win over nationally-ranked La Lumiere (La Porte, Ind.) earlier this month.
*ETA: That should read “Kentucky” pledge.
Players must put up big numbers for their respective schools and have a winning touch.
