Game Takes: LaPorte 60 – Riley 51

Riley led early in a turnover filled contest. But in the end the upperclassmen of LaPorte proved to be too much for the Wildcats. LaPorte 2024 forward Rylan Kieszkowski is really someone coaches need to keep an eye on. Good size and length. Can guard multiple positions and shoots...

Game Takes: Carmel 42, Zionsville 35

A defensive struggle in the first half gave way to a faster pace in the second, and Carmel took full advantage.   Sam Orme got going early, and despite battling mild foul trouble, he didn't shy away from those moments when Carmel needed a big basket.  He shot well...

Game Takes: Noblesville Sectionals – First Round

Noblesville 67, Zionsville 53 Out to an 8-0, maintaining a two to three possession lead the entire first half, thanks in part to Luke Almadovar and EJ Smith's scoring.  Zionsville scored the first two baskets in the 2nd half to cut their five point deficit down to one, but an...

Game Takes: Oak Hill 78, Tipton 63

An uptempo game from the start, a tight game early, a Tipton run had them up 21-11, but Oak Hill cut it to two before the end of the first.  The Eagles took a five point lead into halftime, a tough final minute of the half for Tipton. The second...

In what ended up a 2 point victory for the Panthers, Cade Brenner hit the game winning layup as time expired. Concord battled all night, even taking the lead on a couple of occasions in the second half. Their efforts came up just short, and they missed the presence...

Game Takes: Westfield 43, Carmel 42

This back and forth featured both teams having three possession leads.  Carmel playing without seniors Charlie Williams and Josh Whack, as well as Peter Suder spending most of the game in foul trouble.  Westfield played the whole game with the threat of Braden Smith not being able to finish...

Top Targets of the Last Week

These are the players I saw this week who can play at the next level and make a difference. Whether that be at the D1 or DIII level, each could land in the right situation and make a difference. Markus Burton - Penn 2023 - 6' Guard I have seen...

10 Games & A Baker’s Dozen of Standouts

Aidan Lambert - Snider 2022 - 6'3" At this point there is no reason why Aidan only has 1 offer. I have also discussed him at length in the past. The skillset is there for him to make an impact at the D2 level. Super athletic, can shoot it,...

Game Takes: Westfield 53, Mishawaka Marian 39

Mishawaka Marian was strong for the first 12 minutes of the game, leading 30-26.  They weren't bullying Westfield, but they were getting offensive rebounds and contesting most of whatever Westfield put up.  They were aided by Braden Smith not connecting from behind the 3pt line in the first, but...
