WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) — This Saturday, a former Harrison graduate was inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.

Sports 18 caught up with former Raiders MVP, Jeannette (Yeoman) Mosher before the ceremony. 

“I have been so blessed to be involved with basketball my whole life. It’s been a great gig — basketball has been so good to me.” Mosher told Sports 18. 

Her twin sister, Annette (Yeoman) Zupin, is beyond proud of Jeannette’s accomplishments. 

“What she has done with basketball as a profession is incredible,” Zupin said. 

Together, the two were known as “Double-Trouble” serving as the Raiders’ starting point and shooting guard in 1985 and ‘86. 

“We played together all the time. So, when we got to our high school years… it was just so easy. So, after the rebound I got the ball — I knew where Jeannette was going to be,” Zupin told Sports 18 excitedly. 

Jeannette left quite the legacy at Harrison, accumulating 646 points her senior year. That record still stands in school history as the most points in a single season. Mosher humbly accepts the honor, expressing her gratitude. 

“It’s very exciting and anytime that you’re appreciated for your work and given this honor, you just feel very, very appreciative,” Mosher expressed. 

Mosher went on to play at the collegiate level at St. Joseph’s College, where she had 2,280 career points and held 27 school records upon graduation. Enjoying the journey, she says becoming a Hall of Famer wasn’t on her to-do list.

“I don’t think it’s anything that you think about, you know. When you see other people being inducted and things like that and you start to — maybe in the back of your mind — but you just feel so blessed that you were even considered. Indiana High School basketball is just top-notch. So it feels absolutely wonderful to accept this award and to reminisce about the great days.” 

Mosher headed into the ceremony with only one goal in mind. 

“I just want to keep growing the game!” She exclaimed. 

Coach is still involved with the sport as she spends time in skill development for young athletes.
