Jabrion Spikes is now officially a Georgetown Tiger.
Spikes signed with the Mid-South Conference school on Friday in a ceremony in front of friends, family, teammates and coaches — and Georgetown head coach Chris Briggs — in the Fine Arts Theatre at Caldwell County High School.
Spikes’ lengthy list of offers also included Campbellsville, Pikeville and Kentucky Christian.
At Georgetown, Spikes follows in the footsteps of former Tiger Derrin Boyd, who has played the last two seasons at the NAIA school but has announced that he is transferring to NCAA Div. I Lipscomb University in Nashville.
At Caldwell this past season, Spikes led the 2nd Region in both scoring and rebounding at 30.7 points and 11.9 boards a contest.
Spikes recently played in the Kentucky-Ohio All-Star game last month, scoring 11 points in Kentucky’s win.
He has also been selected to play in the Kentucky-Indiana All-Star series next month. This year’s matchups will take place Friday, June 10, at the Owensboro Sportscenter and Saturday, June 11, at Southport High School in Indianapolis.
Spikes earned the right to try out for the all-star squad after being named 2nd Region Player of the Year and a Mr. Basketball Finalist.
He set the Caldwell single-game scoring record twice during the season – the last in a 59-point outing Feb. 15 at Hopkinsville High School.
Spikes was selected Second Team All-State on both the Lexington Herald-Leader and Courier-Journal All-State Teams.
Spikes finished his high school basketball career at No. 6 on the Tigers’ all-time scoring list with 1,434 career points.
He is 10th on Caldwell’s career rebounding list with 537 career boards.
