Silver Creek's Trey Kaufman was named the 2019-2020 Indiana Gatorade Player of the Year. He's the first junior to win the award in Indiana since Greg Oden in 2004-2005.

The Gatorade award was established in 1985 to recognize the nation’s most outstanding high school student-athletes for their athletic excellence, academic achievement and exemplary character. This isn't completely based on sports performance which is why it differs from the state's Mr. Basketball award. Kaufman ranks first in his class at Silver Creek with a 4.0 GPA. 

From the press release:

The 6-foot-9, 215-pound junior forward led the Dragons to a 25-2 record and a berth in the Class 3A regional semifinals at the time of his selection. Kaufman averaged 25.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.1 steals through 27 games as Silver Creek pursued its second straight state title. Ranked as the nation’s No. 28 recruit in the Class of 2021 by 247Sports.com, he entered the regional semifinals with 1,243 points in his prep basketball career. 

Kaufman was named to the Indiana Junior All-Star core team yesterday. He was also Indiana Basketball Source's 3A player of the year.
