Massac County's Jude Harmon Transfers to St. Mary's
Paducah, Ky. — One of Southern Illinois top scorers is heading to St. Mary's. Jude Harmon is entering his senior year, and he will play for the Vikings. He will be bringing in experience and will be proven offensive weapon to a program that already returns significant talent.
Harmon averaged 21 points, more than two assists and two rebounds per game last season for the Patriots. Massac County finished 14-16, falling in the Class 2A Regional Championship 47-45 to Carterville, who advanced to the Sweet 16.
He joins a St. Mary's roster that already features four all-district returners in Griffen Mayes, Jack Griffith, Ja'Cobi Nichols and Andrew Puckett.
With Harmon's scoring ability added to an already experienced core, St. Mary's figures to be one of the more intriguing teams to watch in Western Kentucky next season.
