Zak Irvin, a 6-7 forward from Hamilton Southeastern High School, earned the Indy Star Indiana Mr. Basketball title for 2013.

Irvin, who will play at Michigan, totaled 101 votes in balloting of coaches and media members statewide. Jackson, an explosive guard bound for Notre Dame, finished second in the voting with 46 votes.

Irvin averaged 24.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.1 steals per game his senior season. He scored 1,239 points in his three varsity seasons in which Hamilton Southeastern went 59-11.
