The Next Bobby Plump

The Indianapolis Star on a new Hoosier hero:

Maybe Bobby Plump is not the last of the small-town heroes after all. Maybe the half-court shot Luke Zeller made in the final second of overtime to give Washington High School a state title will bring him the same kind of legendary last-shot status.

Time will tell.

Certainly while the folks of this small town (not quite 12,000) in southwest Indiana are still smiling and leaving up the words of congratulations they posted on business marquees, Zeller is a hero here. It seems to matter little that the title the kids brought home was a Class 3A championship.

The sign on the front of the school simply says: “GOT’R DONE.”

The state’s Mr. Basketball, a 6-11 center, will attend Notre Dame.
