COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The USA Basketball committee
announced Tuesday that New Albany standout Romeo Langford is among the 16
finalists for the USA U19 World Championship team, which is being coached by
University of Kentucky head men’s basketball coach John Calipari.
Langford became a finalist by performing well during 5-on-5
scrimmages at the Team USA U19 training camp this week. The final 12-man roster
is expected to be determined later this week. The USA U19 team will be
competing in the World Championships in July in Cairo, Egypt.
Last season as a junior, Langford averaged 28.7 points and
8.9 rebounds per game. He led the Bulldogs to a 25-4 record, a fourth
consecutive Hoosier Hills Conference championship and a fourth Class 4A Seymour
Sectional title in a row.
Langford’s outstanding season earned him several honors on
the local, state and national levels. He is the front-runner to be named Indiana
Mr. Basketball next season when he is a senior at New Albany.
