Zionsville has lost three of their last four, but they have been short handed. Isaiah Davis remains out. Pike has lost three of their last five. Both have excellent backcourts, but Zionsville, even without Davis, has a size advantage with Nick Richart. Zionsville's defense has carried them at times, so making Ryan Conwell and Devon Woods take tough shots is key. Getting Richart touches will be what Pike has to stop.

This season is more like that seasons Coach Bradley is used to having in Orleans. Since he took over in 1999, his teams ran off 11 seasons in a row with 15+ wins, 14 of his first 16 seasons, last year ended a five year dip in wins. Impressive this season is they're doing it with a core of three sophomores, a junior and a freshman, led by Ian Hall. North Daviess trots in with one of the state's best backcourts in Jaylen Mullen and the Wilson brothers, coming off a big win over Linton.

On paper, Munster and Valpo both are vying for top team in the Region status. Valpo is a more tested team up to this point, and they have future games with Crown Point and Chesterton coming up. Munster's schedule gets a little easier from here on out. Brandon Trilli is having a great season for the Mustangs. Valpo comes in a little more tested with Mason Jones and a bevy of shooters to surround him.
