Benter selected to Prep Hoops All-State

Jack Benter will be a huge topic of conversation around Jackson County basketball all season long, and rightfully so.

Prep Hoops Indiana named Benter to its Preseason All-State First Team.

Benter is alongside Flory Bidunga of Kokomo, Azavier Robinson of Lawrence North, Trent Sisley of Heritage Hills, and K.J. Windham of Ben Davis.

Bidunga has committed to play at Kansas, and Windham at Northwestern.
