Harrison Barnes delivers another title for Ames
Posted Mar 14, 2010
Harrison Barnes did a lot in his final high school game. With the coach he will play for in college watching, Barnes scored 19 points, led Ames to its second straight Class 4A boys basketball championship and helped put a record crowd in the seats. Ames capped a second consecutive unbeaten season by defeating Southeast Polk 47-37 Saturday night. Barnes, who already has won a national player of the year award, will play at North Carolina next season, and Tar Heels coach Roy Williams was among those in attendance, watching from a suite with Iowa Gov. Chet Culver.
