This season has been a homecoming of sorts for 21st Century senior Jerry Triplett III, and a happy one at that.
The 6-foot-2 guard/forward is in his first season with the Cougars after transferring from Andrean last spring. But even before he arrived, he knew players such as star senior guard Terrence Hayes Jr., senior guard Jacolby Donaldson and senior guard Ronald Mosley from Banneker Elementary School, the nearby YMCA or both.

Black Enterprise
Faced with systemic barriers like financial obstacles and discrimination, it is uncommon for low-income students to obtain college degrees ahead of high school graduation. Yet that rare feat has been achieved by Black students—two each from Indiana University and Purdue University—who earned bachelor’s degrees while attending the 21st Century Charter School in Gary, Indiana. 21st Century Charter School is the flagship institution of GEO Academies, the operator of non-traditional public charter schools. It provides free education for students in K-12 and no-cost college classes for high schoolers enrolled in the academy.
