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,...

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...

Game Takes: NorthWood 78 – Lakeland 31

The night started off with NorthWood's JV blowing out Lakeland, resulting in the implementation of the new "mercy" rule and running clock to finish out the game. Little did I know this would be a theme for the night as NorthWood's varsity was able to do the same thing....
