Northridge High School senior Brent Eaton, for a third straight season, is a first-team selection on the Goshen News’ All-Area boys basketball squad.

The University of Milwaukee-Green Bay recruit was on the third team as a freshman.

The only other player to make the first team three times in the 14-year history of the honor is Andrew Hershberger of Goshen in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

Joining Eaton on the 2007-08 first team are Westview senior Justin Yoder, Wawasee senior Brandon Geiger, NorthWood junior Skyler Titus and Elkhart Memorial junior Karvel Anderson.

Yoder and Titus were on the second team a year ago while Geiger and Anderson received honorable mention.

Eaton poured in 466 points, leading the Raiders to a 14-7 record. He tossed in 321 points as a freshman, 440 as a sophomore and 337 last season for a career total of 1,564.

That moves him into second place on the all-time Northridge career scoring list and fourth in Elkhart County history.

Eaton is second at Northridge behind Dean Weirich (1972 graduate) who totaled 1,823 points.

Shawn Kemp (Concord 1988) remains the county’s leading scorer with 2,134 points, followed by Weirich and Ryne Lightfoot (NorthWood 2006) with 1,673.

Eaton had the highest scoring average (22.2) in Elkhart County this season and Titus the most points (468) by playing more games.

Titus will enter his senior season with 823 career points for the Panthers.

Yoder netted 448 points, leading Westview (24-2) to Class 2A sectional and regional titles before an 83-70 loss to Fort Wayne Bishop Luers in the semistate at Warsaw.

Geiger poured in 392 points as the Wawasee Warriors finished 12-9.

Anderson tallied 444 points for the Memorial Crimson Chargers (11-10). He netted 178 points in seven league games to win the Northern Lakes Conference scoring championship.

Rob Yoder of Westview is “Coach of the Year.”

The Warriors won the second-most games, had the fewest losses and set a record for the longest winning streak (23 games) in school history.

Second-team honors go to Goshen senior Ethan Hussey (11.8), Fairfield senior Andy Curry (12.2), Northridge senior Derrick Troyer (13.4), NorthWood senior Aaron McDowell (14.9) and Westview junior Adam Christner (9.6).

The third team features Westview senior Taylor Aspy (12.0), Wawasee junior Ross Stichter (12.5), Jimtown senior Aaron Griffey (10.8), Elkhart Central senior Josh Robinson (12.4) and Lakeland junior Tanner King (13.3).
