After the recent departure of Clarksville coach Scott Matthews, rumors began about possible transfers.

“Both boys have been at school, in class, since the first day of this school year,” Brian said. “Aiden has been playing football and is looking forward to his game Friday.”

Clemons, a 6-foot-4 guard, played summer high school ball in June with Louisville (Ky.) Pleasure Ridge Park, where it was reported he would enroll for the 2010-11 school year.

The league includes a boys’ high school, girls’ high school and boys’ middle school division. The registration deadline is Friday, Sept. 10

“I hadn’t heard much from Belmont until recently,” Turner explained. “I got a (scholarship) offer the day before I took a (campus) visit there. I saw the facilities, met their guys and coaches, and fell in love with the place. I absolutely fell in love with the place.”

Turner, recognized as one of the top — if not the best — three-pointer shooter in Southern Indiana, also had offers from Coastal Carolina, Gardner Webb and IPFW, and he was hearing from a host of additional Division I schools — Boston College, Butler, Davidson, Indiana, Penn State and Purdue.

“I don’t think Belmont even saw me play until our very last tournament in Orlando,” he said. They didn’t recruit me at all last year; they didn’t come to any of my games. They were watching someone on another court and saw the second half of my game. It all just fell right into place, and it happened so fast.”

With his college destination set, Turner is now focused on the upcoming high school season.

“My role is going to be a lot bigger this year. At Bloomington South, everyone has high expectations of our program. I’ve got to step up this year and show the younger players how to play hard, work hard.”

“They were the first school that showed a lot of interest in me,” Pritchett said. “As I started getting letters from others schools, I kept thinking that ‘I like Wright State better than this school or that school.’ They have a nice facility and I like the coaches a lot.”

Pritchett, who has visited the Raiders’ campus three times, chose Wright State over scholarship offers from Evansville and IPFW. He also had interest from Ball State, Creighton, Duquesne, Eastern Kentucky and IUPUI, among other schools.

“It really came down to Wright State and Evansville,” he added. “They were my top two for a long time.”

Along with his Bedford teammates, Pritchett is ready for the upcoming season, and he’s “glad to get the recruiting process over” before the start of high school basketball.

“It was pretty important for me to get (the recruiting process) over (before high school basketball) so I can focus on the team. I’m pretty excited about our team this year. I expect to win sectionals; I really think we can go pretty far.”
