Youth shines as Yorktown scores 80 points in its season-opening win over Muncie Burris

YORKTOWN, Ind. — Watching Yorktown's boys basketball team play Friday night, it's hard to believe that that was the first time most of them were logging significant varsity minutes.

This season, the Tigers return three players — sophomore AJ Dunn along with seniors Walker Moore and Jamarius Evans — who played in 22 or more games for the Tigers a season ago. As for the rest?
