Last Year’s Final Won-Loss Record: 11-11

• School making its first appearance in the IHSAA state finals in any sport in just its third year of state tournament eligibility. The Pumas will play their third consecutive Top 10 opponent in No. 2 Triton on Saturday.

• Senior-dominated team with seven of eight rostered players in their final year of high school.

• Pumas won the school’s first sectional championship in any sport with its 75-44 victory over Fall Creek Academy on March 5.

• Metropolitan captured its first regional championship on successive three-point victories over Southwestern (Shelbyville) (47-44) and No. 9 Shawe Memorial (64-61) on March 12. The latter game was capped by an improbable 3-pointer by Jerrbryon Graves from the opposite free throw line as time expired and came just moments after Shawe had tied the game. Graves took the in-bounds pass, drove to the middle of the floor, and heaved the ball baseball-throw style with a defender right in front of him. The play may be found on YouTube and was featured as the No. 1 Top Play on ESPN’s SportsCenter.

• Team’s defense and late free throws (12 for 12 from the free throw line for the game) helped Pumas to a 61-50 semistate victory, its first, over No. 5 North Daviess in the Southport Semistate championship game. North Daviess had cut the lead to 49-45 with 1:23 left in the game.

• Indianapolis Metropolitan is a public charter school located on Indianapolis’ near westside. The school was approved for IHSAA membership in 2006-07 and fielded its first basketball team in 2007-08. (Fort Wayne Northrop won the 1973-74 state championship in just its third year of existence, while Bowman Academy won last year’s Class A championship in its second year of state tournament eligibility.)

Last Year’s Final Won-Loss Record: 23-3

• Washington is chasing its second consecutive state championship, fourth since 2005, and seventh overall – that would tie the school with Marion for second place on the all-time list. (Muncie Central’s eight titles is the state record.) School also won track state championships in 1914 and 1915.

• Washington teams are 6-0 in state championship games.

• One of two schools (Park Tudor) to return from last year’s state finals.

• Hatchets are fifth in the state in margin of victory (19.0). Team’s 11-point win over Southridge in the sectional final was their slimmest margin of victory in the tournament. The win over Southridge was the school’s seventh consecutive sectional title.

• Senior Cody Zeller, one the of the nation’s top seniors, is the team standout averaging 24.1 ppg and 13.3 rpg. Older brothers Luke (2005) and Tyler (2008, currently playing for North Carolina), were both named Indiana Mr. Basketball. All three have led Washington to a state championship.

• Zeller, playing for his third state championship, finished the semistate game with 23 points, 17 rebounds and six blocks in a game that was tied 27-27 at the half as Washington went on to win 66-48.

• Head coach Gene Miiller is one of just seven active coaches in the state with 500 or more career victories. He is 128-22 in six years at Washington and 596-250 in 36 years of coaching. He has coached the Hatchets to their last two state titles and would become the ninth coach in state history with three or more state championships with a victory on Saturday.

At the state finals, members of the IHSAA executive committee present the Trester Award to the outstanding senior participant in each classification of the boys’ basketball state finals. The recipients of this award, who were nominated by their principals and coaches, must excel in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership, and athletic ability in basketball. 

Farm Bureau Insurance, IHSAA corporate partner, presents a $1,000 scholarship to each school in the name of the recipient.

From 1917 to 1943, the award was known as “The Gimbel Medal for Mental Attitude” in honor of Mr. Jake Gimbel of Vincennes, who awarded the medal each of those years until his passing prior to the 1943 tournament. In 1944, the award became known as the “IHSAA Medal for Mental Attitude.” In 1945, the IHSAA board officially named the award “The Arthur L. Trester Medal for Mental Attitude” in honor of the man who served as first commissioner of the Association from 1929 to 1944.

Recipients were given a medal each year from 1945 through 1964 – hence, “The Arthur L. Trester Medal for Mental Attitude.” Since 1965, the award has been made in the form of a plaque with a copy of the original medal incorporated on the face of the plaque – aka “The Arthur L. Trester Award for Mental Attitude.”
