 58 High School Basketball Players Of The Week Honored Through Pacers Sports & Entertainment Sponsorship.

From Merrillville to Tell City, in the North and the South, and from Winchester to Terre Haute in the East and the West, the nominees rolled in for the Inaugural Indiana Pacer and Fever Players of the Week. This new program began in January when Pacers Sports and Entertainment became a primary sponsor of the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association. Nominees were welcomed by IBCA Special Projects Coordinator Pat Aikman, and were solicited from IBCA coaches and media in the respective basketball communities represented by IBCA members.

Particularly helpful in the first year of the recognition program were our volunteer IBCA media observers Andy Amey, Terre Haute Tribune-Star, Steve Hanlon, our eye in Northwest Indiana at the Northwest Indiana Times; and Zach Spicer, Seymour Tribune. Criteria included an outstanding performance in a game or games during the week preceding Monday’s announcements on the IBCA website, www.ibcacoaches.com .Other nominations came from a few IBCA Board members, coaches, and some radio and sports editors around the state and even Hall of Fame director Roger Dickinson in New Castle. Aikman indicated he would welcome clippings from papers who used the awards announcements, which were sent out to the media and high school athletic directors and IBCA board members. A special thanks goes to IBCA webmaster Gene Milner in Greencastle for his frequent updates and on-the-ball on-site magic.

As the IBCA Spring Newsletter goes to press, plans are now to present Honor Certificates from the Pacers and Fever to the weekly winners listed below. If you have questions or suggestions send them to Pat. pat.aikman@hotmail.com).
