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...

My Holiday Tourney Player Rundown

Just a 8 of the uncommitted players who made an impression on me over the last week! Grant Porath - 6'2" Guard - 2024 Brownsburg - One of my favorite guards to watch. Was in total control all game against Kokomo. Played with composure and confidence on both ends. Kind...

Game Takes: #11 Northridge 72 – FW North 67

Fun game that didn't disappoint. Early on in this one the Legends looked to be in complete control as they were up 13 at the half. Northridge didn't quit though and the game was all tied up after three. Flow was fast paced throughout with some big plays by...

Game Takes: Ben Davis 57, Brownsburg 33

Brownsburg cross matched on Zane Doughty, and while it kept him from getting catches in the post, it didn't stop him from wiping the offensive glass clean.  Throw in their relentless attack off Brownsburg misses and smothering defense, Ben Davis gained control of the game early then started to...
