WL-Salem’s Logwood selected to honorable mention list
Caiden Nicol still has one season remaining in his Indian Lake basketball career. But he has already put together a masterful body of work.
Nicol on Wednesday punctuated a sensational junior season by being named to the Division III all-Ohio third team by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association.
The junior guard led the Lakers in both scoring in rebounding. His 19.8 points per game ranked second in the Central Buckeye Conference. He led the league in rebounding with 10 per game.
Nicol also averaged 6.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game.
He scored in double figures in 22 of the 24 games he played in. Nicol exploded for 40 points in a game against North Union on Feb. 10.
Nicol also scored 36 twice, against Anna on Dec. 3 and vs. Creston Norwayne on Jan. 28.
He recorded double-digit rebound totals 16 times, with a high of 14 coming in a game vs. Northwestern on Jan. 27.
He eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for his career during a tournament game and is on pace to become the program’s all-time leading scorer next season.
Nicol helped the Lakers to the CBC Mad River division co-championship.
