Collegiate Check-up
Three years ago Tyler Rigby was a key cog in leading the Jay County High School boys basketball team to the Class 3A state championship game. This season he has powered the IU-East men's basketball team to a dramatic turnaround.
The Red Wolves were just 9-19 in their first NAIA season a year ago, but with Rigby leading the team in scoring this season they have won five straight to sit at 15-6.
Rigby scored 11 points for IU-East in its lastest win, a 76-63 triumph over Cincinnati Christian on Jan. 17. He also had three rebounds, one assist and one steal for the Red Wolves.
The sophomore leads the team with a scoring average of 15.7 points per game and has hit 48 3-pointers this season.
