(Batesville, Ind.) – Batesville big man Cole Pride has made his college choice.

The 6’8” forward announced Tuesday that he will continue his academic and athletic career at Rose Hulman Institute of Technology. 

Pride earned Senior All-State Honorable Mention this season by averaging 15.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.0 blocks per game.

He was also named to the EIAC All-Conference Team and was selected for the Hoosier Basketball Magazine Top 60 Senior Boys Workout, and HBCA All-Star Classic.
