2024-25 boys basketball All-GPC team

Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year: 

Easton Foster, Monroe Central High School senior

Easton Foster was selected as the inaugural Graphic Printing Company Player of the Year for boys basketball.

“It means a lot to me,” said Foster, who surpassed 1,000 career points in January. “I know  a lot of people were in the running for it and people like Camden Bell, he works really hard and he’s a really good basketball player and there’s a lot of other really good basketball players, so I’m just happy I got named.”

Foster led the  Golden Bears to a 19-7 record, second place in the Mid-Eastern Conference and the second semi-state appearance in school history. He averaged  a double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds per game. He swept the other statistical categories with averages of 3.8 assists, 3.2 blocks and 2.2 steals.

But it wasn’t just about what happened on the court that mattered to Foster.

“One thing that made this season special for me was everyone on my team felt like my family,” Foster said.

“I can’t even put into words what he meant to us,” MCHS coach Brian Klein said. “He led us in every statistical category, but it was everything else. ... The intangibles he brought beyond what you see statistically ... and then you throw in the fact that he’s an incredibly wonderful young man and special kid off the court too.”

All-Graphic Printing Company first team:

Nate Luce, Wapahani senior: Luce was one of many Raiders who shot the ball over 40% from 3-point range, but he did so at the highest volume, hitting 118-of-255 attempts from deep to average 15.3 points.

Tucker Griffin, Jay County senior: In his lone year as a Patriot after transferring from New Castle, Griffin led the team with 12.1 points and 3.2 assists per game with the second-best 3-point percentage.

Camden Bell, Wapahani junior: Bell’s season put him in contention with Foster for the top spot as he led the Raiders to a third straight semi-state appearance with 18 ppg and shooting 52% from deep.

Jordan Furney, Delta senior: Furney led the Eagles in scoring (323 points), assists (77), steals (50) and blocks (18) as Delta made its second consecutive semi-state appearance this season.
