Sectional 4 Semis

Game 1 which featured a rivalry game between 2 LaPorte county schools lived up to they hype. City was up 16-8, before LaPorte closed out the quarter on a 7-4 run to get it within 5 led by senior Kyle Kirkham. Eventually the Slicers would fight back and take...

Game Takes: Carmel Sectional Semi-Finals

Noblesville 47, Westfield 45 Westfield got off to a quick start, mostly on the back of Sam Bishop's offensive output and Alex Romack's defensive presence around the basket.  Noblesville struggled to finish around the paint for all of the first half but were able to create turnovers and contested shots...

Saturday Wrap Up

Game 1 Saturday was definitely interesting. It came with plenty of action on the offensive end for Michigan City, as well as a running clock for the entire second half. Senior guard Jamie Hodges had his arsenal on full display. 2023 Jamie Hodges - 5'10" Guard - Michigan City In...

Game Takes: #1 Northwood 64 – Mishawaka 28

Once I had heard before warmups that the Cavemen would be without the services of starting senior guard Arthur Jones, as well as starting junior forward Brady Fisher, I knew it would be an uphill battle to an already very challenging game for them. On the other side, the...

Game Takes: Lawrence North 59, New Palestine 58

Without their leading scorer, Azavier Robinson, Lawrence North went on the road and handed New Palestine their first loss of the season.  New Pal, like a lot of teams, struggle vs. quickness, and it really only takes a couple of players in a rotation to get sped up to...

My Weekly Player Evaluations

2023 Lukas Balling - 6'5" Forward - Marquette Catholic - 1K scorer who can stretch the floor with his outside shooting ability. Able to put the ball on the deck and get to the rack. Strong enough to finish through contact. Great from the line. Length helps him...

Game Takes: Ben Davis 46, Carmel 45

Neither team could grab hold of this game.  Ben Davis' largest lead was six, and at a time when it seemed they were one more stop/score from starting to nail down the coffin,  Carmel immediately went on an 8-0 run.  Carmel's largest lead was four, and ultimately, they couldn't...

Game Takes: Cathedral 55, Carmel 47

An early 7-2 deficit prompted a Cathedral timeout, which responded with a 7-0 run to end the quarter.  They stretched it to a 12-0 run before Carmel got on the board again, leading 19-17 at the half.  Carmel started the second half with a 6-0, and as the game...
