In November 1986, as his freshman year of high school was beginning, Sports Illustrated tabbed him the country’s best ninth-grade hoopster. That freshman year he led BNL to the state Final Four, averaging over 23 points a game in the process. His team’s tournament run ended to two-time defending champion Marion in the semifinals. Bailey scored 20 points in that game and BNL trailed 47-46 after three quarters, but he fouled out with 2:06 to go and the opposing team – led by Lyndon Jones and Jay Edwards – prevailed 70-61 en route to their third straight state title. Bailey was named First Team Indiana All-State that year, and every other year of his high school career.
In early 1986, when Bailey was a 14-year-old eighth-grader, Indiana coach Bob Knight watched two games featuring Bailey’s team. At the time, Knight and his 1985–86 team were being covered by author John Feinstein for his book A Season on the Brink, which would later go on to be a national best-seller. After taking in the game, Knight remarked to his assistant coaches that “Damon Bailey is better than any guard we have right now. I don’t mean potentially better, I mean better today.” Due to the national and statewide popularity of Feinstein’s book, Bailey’s legend took off.
He was raised in the city of Heltonville Indiana.
