The decision is in, and the magic number is 13.
That���?�s the number of Indiana high school basketball seniors who comprise The Indianapolis Star 2005 Indiana All-Star team.
Washington���?�s Luke Zeller will wear the coveted No. 1 jersey when the team plays annual all-star foe Kentucky in two months (June 18 at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green and June 25 at Conseco Fieldhouse). A year ago, Indiana fell 89-81 in Owensboro before rebounding the next weekend with a 93-90 victory at Conseco.
The All-Stars will be coached by Joe Buck of Pendleton Heights, whose assistants are Al Gooden of Harding and New Albany���?�s Jim Shannon.
