Trent Sisley is one of Indiana’s best players. And state’s top schools set to battle it out for him.

Flory Bidunga stole the show. That was understandable, considering he is IndyStar Mr. Basketball and Wednesday night’s Indiana All-Stars game vs. the Junior All-Stars was his swan song at Memorial Gym in Kokomo.

But for a good spell of the first half, Heritage Hills’ junior Trent Sisley was the most impressive player on the court. That should come as no surprise either; the 6-8 Sisley, one of the state’s top players regardless of class, will soar past 2,000 career points as a senior (he is already at 1,715) and be in contention for next year’s Mr. Basketball award.

After the game, Sisley took a picture with Bidunga. The Kokomo star finished with 34 points and 22 rebounds, while Sisley scored 16 of his 18 points in the first half, connecting on 4-for-5 from the 3-point line (all in the first half).

Indiana Junior All-Star Trent Sisley (33) dunks the ball during their game against the Kentucky All-Stars on Sunday, June 2, 2024 in Scottsburg, Ind. at Charles E. Meyer Gymnasium for the first game of the Indiana vs Kentucky All-Stars basketball week.

“It was his last game here and the crowd was going crazy for him when he got announced,” Sisley said. “Guarding him is hard, obviously. It showed tonight. He’s a great player.”

For those who only see Sisley during his high school season, watching him play for the Junior All-Stars or on the travel circuit is a bit of a different experience. Sisley averaged 24.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.2 blocked shots per game as a junior at Heritage Hills, doing a little bit of everything. He shot 33.7% from the 3-point line, but took almost 80% of his shots inside the 3-point arc.

But on the Adidas 3SSB circuit with his Indiana Elite team, Sisley has connected on 44% from the 3-point line (15-for-34) on about a quarter of his total shots….
