Ohio State basketball signee has opportunity for Geico Nationals title

Good luck Scotty! #GoBucks

Typically, high school basketball teams’ seasons end when their run through the state tournament is done, but that isn’t the case for Ohio State signee Scotty Middleton.

The 6-foot, 6-inch, and 180-pound small forward will lead his Sunrise Christian Academy team against Montverde Academy, the top overall seed in the Geico Nationals Tournament.

Sunrise, which is located in Kansas, plays a national schedule, one that has it traveling to multiple different states this season like Maryland, Colorado, Utah, and Texas.

Middleton helped his team 20-7 record and a top ranking in the state. He and his team will look to extend their season this afternoon as tipoff is set for 6:00 p.m. ET Thursday and will be broadcasted on ESPNU.
