WOLCOTT - Tri-County's success lately has come in threes.
Three straight IHSAA class A sectional championships and at the core of it all have been the junior triplets Trey, Drew, and Nick.
Each of them has different looks, likes, and playing styles after being born in 2007. Trey is the outspoken one, while Nick and Drew tend to let their bearded brother do most of the talking.
Drew eats the most, Nick is the best at videos, and Trey is considered to be the most stylish.
"The first time I met these guys, I had no clue they were brothers," first-year head coach Trev Parker said. "They weren't even sitting next to each other. They were all sitting in different corners."

Not only are the Fosters triplets, but they have older sisters, Kylie and Casey, who are twins and are five years older. Kylie was a high school gymnast who coaches at Lafayette Jeff, while Casey played trumpet in the Cavaliers band.
"Growing up, we were always playing together in our front yard, playing horse and stuff like that," Trey said.
"The best part is even the announcers, when they're calling our games, they don't realize we are triplets until later in the game," Trey said. "They don't actually put it together that we are all triplets."

All three Fosters are playing varsity basketball despite never playing AAU basketball in their youth. The wars on the court were waged between the three brothers, either playing Horse or 21.
"We weren't the most athletic, and when kids were going to Legacy Courts, we were in our yard growing together and getting better as basketball players," Trey said. "Then we caught up and beat the competition."
Trey has been the most efficient of the three Fosters and averages 8.5 points per game and 3.2 rebounds per game, while Nick averages 7.0 points per game for a team that heads into regionals without a starter averaging double digits in points.
Tri-County (14-11) battles Kouts (22-4) on Saturday at 1 p.m. from North Judson for the IHSAA class A title.
An opportunity to capture the Cavaliers' first regional title in boys basketball.
"All three of them bring a different skillset to the game," Parker said. "Their chemistry together is pretty good, and they bring a different edge. They aren't afraid to bully each other around, and they bring energy to everyone else."
