A lot of high school basketball fans around the state today are asking themselves: Who is Aaron Wilson?
The answer, for the moment, is that he is the biggest surprise choice for the Kentucky-Indiana All-Star Series.
Wilson, Fulton City's do-everything guard, was named to the squad on Wednesday after impressing the coaching staff (Apollo's Tony Hopper and Covington Catholic's Mike Listerman) and the selection committee at last week's tryouts at Campbellsville University.
The team is led by Madisonville's Jon Hood, the state's Mr. Basketball award winner. Also on the roster are several players that led their teams to the state tournament — Adair County's Darren Ballou, twins Ethan and Evan Faulkner of Elliott County, Mason County's Russ Middleton, Anderson County's C.J. Penny, Lexington Catholic's Vee Sanford, Christian County's Corey Wilford and Louisville Central's Ridge Wilson.
Rounding out the squad are Wilson, Corey Jackson of Louisville Shawnee and Apollo's DeLon Butler.
Wilson, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard, put up whopping numbers for the Bulldogs last season, averaging around 25 points, 10 rebounds and four assists per game.
The Kentucky-Indiana series will be played on June 13 at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis and June 14 at Bellarmine University's Knights Hall in Louisville.
