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...

The Vikings didn't take long to impose their will on 21st, as they got out to an early 10-4 lead and didn't look back. Junior forward Mason Jones, led a balanced attack for the Vikings that had 8 guys get in the books. 21st stuggled with Valpo's defense, and...

Game Takes: Chesterton 63 – Elkhart 39

In an early season battle of 4A schools, Chesterton came out and set the tone right away. They were going to get after you on defense at every position, and you would have to earn everything if you were Elkhart and going to beat them. Tonight that wasn't the...

Holding Noblesville to three points in the second quarter, Carmel opened a small lead late heading into the halftime. They scored early and often to start the second half, eventually building a 20 point lead. Noblesville was able to cut the lead to 12, but it never got any...

Game Takes: North Central 70, Crispus Attucks 59

A tight game through three quarters, North Central eventually stretched a lead out and closed it out with about two minutes to play. Kind of a slow start in the game and battling foul trouble, Joey Brown still found ways to be impactful. The 6'7" junior forward was very...

Game Takes: Mishawaka Marian 63 – Mishawaka 36

The Knights and their zone were just too much from the get go, and Mishawaka doesn't have the shooters to counter. They controlled the pace with their full court press as well. Led by junior guard Deaglan Sullivan and senior forward Kaleo Kakalia, Marian didn't have trouble scoring either,...

Game Takes: Penn 52 – Crown Point 48

This game really did end up being a good one. There were a lot of guards on display in this one, all of which I could see playing at the next level. The game had a good pace and was back and forth for a lot of the second...

Game Takes: Homestead 62 – Warsaw 40

The Tigers were able to hang around for a little while, but in the end Purdue commit Fletcher Loyer and company were just too much for Warsaw to overcome. The Tigers offense got stagnant at times and they didn't have an answer for Loyer. They tried a couple different...
