The four top players in voting for The Paducah Sun's All-Purchase Team have made their college decisions, with one a bit of a surprise and two likely to be teammates.
Marshall County's Travis Spiceland, selected as the Purchase Player of the Year in voting by the First Region coaches, will not play basketball in college. He plans to attend the University of Kentucky College of Engineering school in Paducah.
Expect Paducah Tilghman standouts Isaac McClure and Stefon Perry to sign with junior college programs in the next week or so.
McClure, an athletic 6-5 player, looked like he might be headed to Wabash Valley in Mount Carmel, Ill. Wabash Valley was 18-11 last season and is coached by Dan Sparks, who built Vincennes (Ind.) into a national power before moving across the Wabash River a few years ago. Sparks was former Cairo star Tyrone Nesby's coach at Vincennes. But that deal fell through and McClure could be headed to Southeastern Illinois in Harrisburg.
Perry, a 6-4 forward, and Mayfield star Tony Hockett are probably headed to Jackson State in Tennessee, which went 15-10 last season. Perry had been considering offers from Lake Land (Ill.) and even took a visit to Casper College in Wyoming, but has elected to stay a little closer to home and family in Paducah and Murray.
