IHSAA boys basketball: See who made 2023 Indiana All-Stars roster

Zane Doughty and Sheridan Sharp did not lose a game this high school basketball season. The Ben Davis senior duo will attempt to keep it going in June as part of the 2023 Indiana All-Stars team.

The 6-9 Doughty and point guard Sharp, who led Ben Davis to a 33-0 season and Class 4A state championship, are part of a 13-player All-Stars roster that includes three other players who won a state title. The All-Stars, who will be coached by Ben Davis’ Don Carlisle, will play the Indiana Junior All-Stars on June 7, followed by the annual doubleheader against Kentucky in Owensboro, Ky., June 9, and the return game June 10 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

“This year’s senior basketball players were very strong throughout the state of Indiana,” Indiana All-Stars director Mike Broughton said. “Twenty-plus players were considered for the All-Star team at the end of the season. I’m extremely excited for this year’s Indiana All-Stars to compete. This team has all the intangibles — quickness, size and shooters.”

Recruiting: All-Stars Logan Imes, Zane Doughty ask for release from letters of intent

Doughty and Sharp will be joined as All-Stars by Noblesville’s Luke Almodovar, Cathedral’s Xavier Booker, Penn’s Markus Burton, Heritage Christian’s Myles Colvin, Linton-Stockton’s Joey Hart, Zionsville’s Logan Imes, Valparaiso’s Mason Jones, Crown Point’s A.J. Lux, Carmel’s Sam Orme, NorthWood’s Ian Raasch and Bloomington North’s JaQualon Roberts.

Carlisle will be assisted by Frankton’s Brent Brobston and Evansville Bosse’s Shane Burkhart.

Cathedral’s Jaron Tibbs was in consideration for the team, but was unable to play due to conflict with his Purdue football commitment, Broughton said.
