For the second straight season De'Ron Davis has helped lead his Overland High team to the state title in Colorado's highest class. That highlights our recap below on how the Hoosier signees and commits have finished out their prep careers.

Despite picking up three fouls in the first nine minutes of the game, Davis and Overland survived local rival Eaglecrest on Saturday, 66-56. Played in Boulder on the home court of the University of Colorado, Davis finished with 11 points as Overland repeated as champs and finished the year at 25-3.

Davis averaged 13.8 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game while shooting 60.9 percent from the floor.

Grant Gelon helped lead Crown Point to a Indiana 4A sectional title but his season came to an end Saturday night in Michigan City. There once beaten Warsaw used a stifling defense to knock off his Bulldogs, 46-33.

Gelon finished with nine points and three rebounds. He was 3-for-10 from the field and all his made shots were from behind the 3-point line.

Earlier today in the regional semis he had 10 points and three rebounds. He was 4-for-10 from the floor including 2-for-7 from 3-point distance. He had a huge steal at half court that help swing the game's momentum and spur Crown Point to the win over East Chicago Central, 67-52.

Curtis Jones and his Huntington Prep team don't have the fortune to play in a state tournament. The school finished regular season play on March 3rd and held out hope of being selected to participate in this year's Dick's Sporting Goods' National High School Basketball Championship. The eight teams chosen on March 9th, however, did not including Huntington Prep.

That meant his final game was played in just a few fans against a low profile opponent (Deeper Life Academy) in his team's home gym.

Huntington Prep put together these clips of the final plays from their seniors including Jones and Michigan State five-star signee Miles Bridges:

Long Island (N.Y.) Lutheran and Devonte Green continue action this Friday night against Brooklyn Jefferson in a Federation tournament game. The Hoosier commit was one of four finalists for Mr. Basketball in New York. This week, however, the award was given to Maryland signee Kevin Huerter, a 6-foot-7 shooting guard from Shendehowa High near Albany.

Green has led Lutheran to a 22-3 record and is currently averaging 19.6 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.4 steals per game.
