Four games opened the 2022 Hoopfest Thursday night session with all eyes, including Purdue Head Coach Matt Painter and staff from Mizzou and Iowa, peeled on Lyon County junior Travis Perry. Perry has 15 offers so far which includes the schools present on Thursday.
Perry scored 36 points in Lyon County’s 94-65 win over South Warren and dropped in eight of the Lyons 15 made 3-pointers. He is on track to break Lyon County’s all-time scoring record held by Ty Rogers (3,330) which could possibly come in the Lyon’s next game at home today against University Heights. Perry is also chasing Kentucky’s high school all-time scoring record of 4,337 points set by King Kelly Coleman in 1956.
