LOUISVILLE — Nathan Dieudonne of Trinity has been chosen Kentucky's Mr. Basketball, the first time in 50 years the award has gone to a player from a private school.

Boone County's Sydney Moss, daughter of NFL receiver Randy Moss, won the Miss Basketball title.

Dieudonne, who led Trinity to its first state title last month and was MVP of the Sweet Sixteen, received his Mr. Basketball award in a ceremony at the Seelbach Hilton on Saturday night.

"This is just like icing on the cake," Dieudonne said. "The state championship was our main goal. Obviously, this is a big award, but the team (championship) was the biggest thing."

Mike Silliman of St. Xavier is the only other private-school player to be named Mr. Basketball. He won the honor in 1962.
