ATLANTA – Seniors Lonzo Ball of Chino Hills (Calif.), and Jackie Young of Princeton (Ind.), have been named winners of the 2016 Naismith Trophy presented by Hilton Worldwide, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced today.

Ball is averaging a triple-double this season with 25.4 points, 12.9 assists and 11.5 rebounds per game. His exceptional play led the Huskies to the team’s first Southern Section championship, and they have advanced to the CIF Open Division Southern California Region.

Ball is the third boys Naismith high school award winner to sign with UCLA, following Shabazz Muhammad in 2012 and Kevin Love in 2007.

“On the court he focuses on the team goals above his own. Off the court he takes care of his family, teammates and community,” said Chino Hills coach Steve Baik, who was named the 2016 Naismith High School Boys Coach of the Year.

Young, a guard, leaves Princeton as Indiana’s all-time leading scorer for both boys and girls with 3,268 points. She’s headed to Notre Dame in the fall.

“Lonzo and Jackie both exemplify what we look for in a Naismith Trophy recipient,” said Eric Oberman, executive director of the Atlanta Tipoff Club. “Their performances on the court stood out amongst their peers, and they provide strong leadership that helps build up both their teammates and their classmates. They are both well-deserving of this honor.”
