INDIANAPOLIS – The East Central High School boys basketball program spent part of the Thanksgiving holiday enjoying a unique experience in Indianapolis.

Last Wednesday, the Trojans traveled to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the home of the Indiana Pacers.

Not only did the team get to practice in an NBA arena, but they also got to take in a game that night.

In a post on X, junior Nolan Maple can be seen nailing a halfcourt shot on the Pacers floor.

Later that night, after a minor ticket mix up, the Trojans were upgraded to a suite to take in the Pacers win over the Portland Trailblazers.

The Trojans will tip-off their 2024-25 season this Friday on the road at Milan.
