By Curt Conrad ? News Journal ? March 11, 2009
The Plymouth junior was selected one of three Division IV Players of the Year when the All-Northwest District team was announced Wednesday night.
Turson shared the award with New Knoxville senior Brad Piehl and Toledo Ottawa Hills senior Ethan Michael. Piehl is headed to Division I Robert Morris, while Michael is bound for the Air Force Academy.
?They are both great players,? Turson said.
A do-it-all point guard, Turson averaged 22.1 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 3.1 steals a game for the Firelands Conference-champion Big Red (21-1). He already is the program?s career scoring leader, passing older brothers Brett and Graig among others this season.
?Breaking the scoring record and being selected the district player of the year, those things are a testament to the team?s success,? Turson said. ?Those things are more about the people I have played with here the last three years.?
