PETE SWANSON
FOR THE DAILY CLARION
he started in Princetons Salvation Army Basketball League, when I was 4 or 5 years old.
Now shes No. 1 in the nation.
Jackie Young is the Naismith Trophy winner as
the Girls High School Player of the Year, an award
begun by the Atlanta Tipoff Club in 1987 and now
presented by Hilton Worldwide, named after basketball founding father James Naismith.
She is also Indiana Miss Basketball, Indiana
Female Athlete of the Year, McDonalds All-American, Gatorade Indiana Player of the Year, AP AllStater, and Jordan Brand Classic pick.
Young earned the Naismith honor by averaging
34.9 points, 9 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 3.9 steals
in leading the Lady Tigers to a 27-1 record, including
a third straight Big Eight Conference championship,
third straight Toyota/Gibson County Teamwork Classic
title, and on Dec. 29 the Indiana Basketball Hall of
Fame Classic championship in the 9,325-seat New
Castle Fieldhouse the worlds largest high school
gym.
She became the top career scorer in Indiana
high school girls basketball history Jan. 14 at Wood
Memorial, by surpassing the 3,085 points by 2002
Wawasee grad Shanna Zolman, who played for the
University of Tennessee and then in the Womens
NBA.
On Jan. 21, before a packed Tiger Arena in Princeton, she became the states top career scorer of
both genders when she topped the 3,134 total by
Bedford-North Lawrence and Indiana University
standout Damon Bailey.
When her Princeton career ended with a 34-33
upset by Southridge in the Feb. 5 Class 3A sectional
semifinals in Tiger Arena, the 6-foot guard and Notre
Dame recruit finished with 3,268 points.

Lady Tiger fans remained in the stands after a Nov. 16, 2016 rout
of Evansville Bosse in Tiger Arena to watch their star player sign a
letter of intent with Notre Dame womens basketball program.
Putting down the pen after signing, the 5-foot-11 guard and forward read from a prepared statement.
I thank God for blessing me with the ability to play this game,
she began. Thank you to all of you who came out tonight. It means
the world to me.
Signing with Notre Dame is a dream come true. It wouldnt be
possible without the Big Red Nation, she said of the Princeton fan
base.
YOUNG SHINES
IN CHICAGO
CHICAGO Jackie Youngs team-leading 10 rebounds and two
steals made a dramatic impact in the McDonalds All American girls
basketball game in Chicagos United Center.
Although pleased with her performance after finishing second
in scoring with 15 points, behind Sabrina Ionescus record setting
25-point performance, Young said she was more satisfied with seeing
the large contingent of Lady Tiger basketball fans who traveled nearly
five hours to watch her play.
It was crazy. A lot of people came out to see me and just to get
to play in the United Center was an honor, Young said. I had a fan
club come from Princeton and it was great. There were probably 80
people there.
Young netted the West teams first two baskets and continued
leading them in scoring while West coach Jesse Nelson platooned
players in and out.
She netted her third shot after hitting a 3-pointer midway through
the second quarter and added two more less than a minute later on
another layup to give her a team leading nine points by halftime.
Trailing by 10 at halftime, Young kept the West in contention after
snagging an offensive rebound and putting it in for two, then scored
again moments later on another contested lay-in.
Ironically, her first and only assist of the night allowed West teammate Ionescu to overtake her scoring lead with a 3-pointer.
Youngs future Fighting Irish teammate Erin Boley was second in
scoring for the East with 13. Although an adversary during the All
American game, Young said she is excited for this fall when she will
call Boley a teammate.
I got to play against and with the best 24 players in the country.
It was great to play against Erin and now Im ready to play with her,
Young said.
With the McDonalds All American Game behind her, Young traveled to New York for the April 15 Jordan Brand Classic inside New
York Citys Barclay Center, the home of the Brooklyn Nets.
She will play for a bit of pride as she wraps up her high school
career by leading the Indiana All-Star team against the Kentucky AllStar team June 11 inside the Best Choice Fieldhouse in Fishers.
After that, she will continue training for her NCAA debut this fall.
Its still sort of surreal, knowing that I will be playing for the Fighting Irish next year, Young said.
The hard work is finally paying off. I just need to keep working so
I can go up there and do whatever Coach (Ann) McGraw needs me
to (do).

MISS BASKETBALL
YOUNG OWNS
INDIANAS HIGHEST
PREP HOOPS
DISTINCTION
PETE SWANSON
FOR THE DAILY CLARION
INDIANAPOLISFor her sports and all Indiana girls sports, Jackie Young is No. 1.
Not only did Princeton Communitys 18-year-old senior become the first Southwestern Indiana
girl to win the Miss Basketball honor, she was also named the states Overall Female Athlete of
the Year by The Indianapolis Star in Lucas Oil Stadium.
I cant really put into words what this means. Never did I imagine Id leave here with two
awards, Young said after posing for pictures, including some while wearing the No. 1 jersey that
shell wear in the Indiana-Kentucky All-Star games in Indianapolis and in Louisville, Kentucky.
She was considered the favorite for Miss Basketball from among Lebanons Kristen Spolyar,
Indianapolis Roncallis Lindsey Corsaro, and Tyasha Harris of 3A State Champion Heritage
Christian.
Winning Miss Basketball surprised me, said the Notre Dame recruit. I was nervous all night.
Definitely, I had butterflies in my stomach. When they announced Miss Basketball, it was a
relief.
The Overall Female Athlete of the Year competition included the winners of all girls athletes of
the year in other sports who were announced earlier. An amazing feeling. I never imagined Id
get that award, Young said. There are so many great athletes in Indiana in all these sports.
Seeing his protege named Miss Basketball rekindled memories for Lady Tigers Coach Charlie
Mair, who 28 years ago won a fight for life.
I feel very fortunate and very blessed to have overcome a hemmorhageic stroke, Mair said.
To coach the first Southern Indiana girl to win Miss Basketball is a great feeling. Jackie earned
this award through all of the hard work that she has put in.
Young was also surrounded by family at the banquet and awards ceremony.
Its crazy to win both awards, said brother Terrence Young, a substitute on the Princeton
boys 2009 unbeaten state champions. She has worked so hard her whole life for this.
Sophomore sister Kiare Young, who started alongside Miss Basketball at guard during the
recently ended 27-1 season that included a 53-game win streak over two years, calls her older
sister my role model. Seeing Jackie get this award means a lot. She has put so much hard work
into it.
Mom Linda Young reflected that This means everything to me. Jackie has worked for this her
whole life. I never thought shed get the overall athlete of the year award that was shock.

Jackie is more than just an athlete, said Mayor Brad

A great experience. Jackie picked me up
a lot this year. Not only did she get the ball
to me when I needed it, she encourages you
when youre down.
Mom Linda Young, assistant manager at
Caseys General Store in Princeton, smiled
and said I wont say when asked where her
oldest daughters work ethic and ability to
manage time came from.
But Jackie said: Mom said I had to make
my grades to play basketball. And for managing time, Ive seen a lot of athletes who
messed up in school or somewhere else,
maybe from not spending enough time in
the gym. Ive always tried to do my studying in study hall. If that isnt enough, I study
at home. Like tonight, when I need to study
for a quiz were having in English class in the
morning, she said on a Wednesday after
school.

That didnt go unnoticed by Hoosier Basketball
magazine publisher Garry Donna.
Jackie is the most unselfish star player Ive ever
seen, said Donna.
CONTINUED FROM
These came in 106 games, 97 wins around 9 losses including a 53-game win streak
that included the 2015 Class 3A state championship in downtown Indianapolis Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Starting in fifth grade, she led Princeton teams to 163 wins around 9 losses, including unbeaten regular seasons in 2013-14 and the recently ended campaign.
PHENOMENAL
Ive never seen anybody better than Jackie. Shes phenomenal. Never have I seen
anybody in high school basketball who has a third gear like Jackie does, said Lady
Tigers Coach Charlie Mair, whose fifth Princeton season marked his 35th as a head
coach.
She just might play in the WNBA someday, said Bruce Dockery, Evansville Memorial head coach the past 28 seasons.
Young, through 106 high school games averaged 30.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 8.5
assists and 3.6 steals while shooting 63.2 percent afield, 39.8 percent from three-point
range and 86.1 percent on free throws, is the fifth Indiana girl to win the Naismith
Trophy.
SELFLESS
Owner of a nearly 3.9 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale, the daughter of Linda
Young would earn ultra-high praise from Naismith Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan, who
starred for the University of Evansville before playing in and coaching over 1,200 wins
in the NBA.
The most important thing is being a good person, Sloan said years ago.
Its amazing. Not only is Jackie a great player who sets up our team, shes a role
model, said classmate Hannah Brewer, Youngs teammate since they were fifth
graders.
She never brags, but she congratulates people when they do great.
Having raised her junior season points total to 1,003 by scoring 36 in the Lady
Tigers 72-44 state championship win over Tippecanoe Valley in 2015, Young bypassed
a couple more points when she twice grabbed an offensive rebound and each time
passed the ball to give a senior substitute a chance to score in a state championship
game.
