Jackson's Bailey nationally ranked among junior basketball players
Jackson junior guard Evan Bailey is ranked No. 149 nationally in the Rivals.com Top 150 basketball list for the class of 2014.
Bailey, who is listed at 6-foot-5 1/2 and 185 pounds, is tabbed as the third-best player in the state in the junior class by the website.
Bailey currently holds five scholarship offers; Miami (Ohio), Duquesne, Kent State, College of Charleston and Toledo.
“We have two more years with Evan, so we’re happy about that,” Jackson coach Tim Debevec said. “He is a 4.0 [grade-point average] student who is constantly looking to get better. He is working on his game all the time; his ball handling, shooting, passing and defense.”
He is also receiving interest from the Boston College, Stanford, Harvard, William & Mary, Ohio, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Dayton, Notre Dame, Lehigh, Bucknell, Akron and Cleveland State.
Debevec said Bailey averaged about 21 points, eight rebounds and three assists per game last season.
