Southport looking good now that they're healthy. Winners of five in a row, they face Decatur Central whose pressure makes the game erractic. Southport's guards should be able to handle. DC will look to force someone other than Dancler or Miller ot handle the ball in the back court.

Top to bottom, North Central will be the quickest team Brebeuf has faced thus far, and they like to amp up the pressure. Billy Smith, who has shown all season his summer playmaking translates to the school season, will be put to test.

Ben Davis is looking strong. They obliterated Lawrence North, earning their 9th straight win, and Park Tudor will have to prove they can handle BD's physicality. Tough task for PT. As much of a force PT will be in March, they haven't gotten to the semi-finals in County since the Bluiett and Ferrell seasons.

Perry Meridian gets here via forfeit, and aside from Ben Davis, Pike is the second hottest 4A team in the state. Shaping up for a semi-final rematch!

Carmel, coming off a loss to Westfield, should be at full strength, as Josh Whack and Charlie WIlliams return from time missed due to COVID. Peter Suder missed the Anderson game due to an injury and spent most of the Westfield game in foul trouble, while Williams was in foul trouble most of the Anderson game. What that means is Carmel has played their last three games playing mostly juniors, who have stepped up forced into bigger roles. If they stay aggressive as the seniors return, they start to fulfill the type of depth and options projected them coming into the season.

The manner in which Cathedral lost to Tech and Westfield were confounding. Stretches of play where they're rudderless, and with the toughess that Tayshawn Comer, Jaxson Edwards and Jake Davis have, that shouldn't happen. It's doubtful they fall into that vs. Carmel, but they have found success, especially defensively, going into their bench.

That said, there have been a few games in this series where one team jumped out to a double digit lead only to lose - both directions. So who knows?
