Josh Sewell will play for Miami of Ohio.
Michael Johnston

Trinity standout Josh Sewell committed to Miami of Ohio back in July. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard will make it official, when he signs his national letter of intent Wednesday, the first day of the Fall Signing Period. Sewell averaged just over 15 points per game last season.

“I am so excited for Josh,” said Trinity coach Mike Szabo. “He made a great
decision to attend Miami of Ohio, which has a great academic reputation as
well as an outstanding basketball program in the Mid Atlantic Conference.”

Sewell has led the Shamrocks to two 20-win seasons during his first three
years with the Shamrocks and has positioned himself to become the school’s
all-time leading scorer and the eighth member of Trinity’s 1,000-point club.

“Josh is an excellent student, a great teammate and is one of the most
talented players I have ever coached,” said Szabo. “He can do so many things
on the court and can play multiple positions. Josh truly loves the game and
enjoys the challenge of getting better every day. Josh has added speed and
strength to his 6’4” frame; he will be a force and tough for anyone to
defend. I look forward to him leading our team here at Trinity High School
in this, his senior year. I believe he is the best player in the state of
Kentucky.”

Sewell enters his final season with the Shamrocks with 890 career points in
83 games. Sewell registered 457 points last season in 30 games. It was the
most points in a single season by a Trinity player since Tanner Jacobs had
493 points in 29 games during the 2006-07 season.
