A good season turned great so far, and after wins over Carmel and Westfield last weekend, Brownsburg starts to sneak into conversations about March. Most thought they were a year away. They have as much depth as they do youth. While we are generally down on the 2024 class, Brownsburg is one team that has a great deal of talent in the class.

Kanon Catchings is oozing with potential, and Dlhadj Diallo has really taken a jump in his production since last year. The play of Shon Pupuola has been key in anchoring the paint on both ends. All those other sophomore guards? They compliment that group, bringing playmaking, thoughness and defense.

Zionsville is healthy again and looking to turn around a 2-3 record in their last five games. Logan Imes missed a couple of games. After a slow start on the glass, Nic Richart is rebounding on both ends well. Isaiah Davis ended a dry spell vs. Hamilton Southeastern, but then didn't play against Warren Central.

Carmel has beaten Ben Davis 15 of the last 16 times, and they are 18-3 vs. Ben Davis since 2002. Growing up watching good Carmel teams struggle to beat any Ben Davis teams, that stat is just amazing. BD started 0-2 then proceeded to win 11 in a row. They have struggled since reaching the Marion County finals.

Ben Davis has been successful when they can bully their opponent with their pressure. Carmel has been masterful at turning their opponent's defense into their offense over the years, but this year, they have had spurts where they haven't been aggressive, off the ball especially. Now, it's been mostly against teams that pack it in, but BD won't pack it in.

Warsaw is Northwood's toughest test since their loss to Bloomington South. Despite the 15-1 record, they have struggled a bit with bigger teams, and Warsaw comes in with a ton of size, which compliment the backcourt of Jaxon Gould and Judah Simfukwe. Cade Brenner for NorthWood is having a spectacular season.

Two top 3A teams facing off, who also happen to be sectional foes. After a 13-0 start, Chatard has taken a couple of tough, tight losses. Getting back on the winning track vs. Billy Smith and the Braves won't be easy. Brebeuf has lost three of their last five though.
