Bennett died in shooting Wednesday night on city's southeast side; two others shot and injured
When Ethan Brittain-Watts received a text Wednesday night that one of his favorite former basketball teammates died, he dropped his phone.
Bennett, a 2019 graduate of Crispus Attucks, was a standout guard for the Tigers. As a senior, the 6-foot Bennett averaged 21.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game and was named to the large school senior all-state team by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association. Bennett scored more than 40 points three times that season, leading Attucks to a 20-9 record and a Class 3A semistate appearance, falling 72-69 to state champion Silver Creek.
Bennett played two years at Attucks after transferring from Southport, where he saw playing time on Southport’s memorable semistate team in 2015-16. After his sophomore year at Southport, Bennett transferred to Attucks and averaged 12.9 points and 5.2 assists on a team that went 20-5 and won a sectional title a year after winning a Class 3A state title.
“He always had a great smile and vibe and energy about him,” Brittain-Watts said. “He was a guy that didn’t play a ton on our team, but he was always the first one up to give someone a high-five and bring that joy on and off the court. That’s the type of person he was. We all knew what kind of player he was. He could go out and score 20 or 25 points, but on that team he was more focused on bringing a positive energy.
Bennett signed to play junior college basketball with Southwestern Illinois College. He played in four games during the 2019-20 season, averaging 4.8 points.
