Ertel dominant in Indiana Junior-Senior All-Star Game
Ertel, who was named Indiana Mr. Basketball following the 2025-26 season, had a brilliant performance in his first showing of Indiana All-Star Week. During the Junior-Senior All-Star Game on Wednesday, he recorded a double-double on his way to earning ISC Network's Player of the Game honors.
The Boilermaker finished the game with 20 points, 10 assists and six rebounds, leading his senior group to a narrow 105-100 victory over the junior squad. Ertel's 10 assists tied a record for the most in the Indiana Junior-Senior All-Star Game.
Most of Ertel's production came in the final 20 minutes, scoring 15 of his 20 points in the second half.
What made Ertel's performance even more special? He did it on his home high school floor, Mt. Vernon, one last time.
"It was kind of surreal walking in and seeing my poster on the wall, my Mr. Basketball jersey," Ertel told Steve Heath of the Greenfield Daily Reporter. "Leaving a legacy here and coming back knowing at least I'm remembered a little bit is pretty cool, and winning the last time is cool also."
Will Ertel's success in Wednesday's game carry over into this weekend's series against Kentucky? There's no question the Purdue guard wants to finish his career at the high school level with two more wins.
