Game Takes: Lawrence North 56, Noblesville 50

No Gunn.  Just enough ammunition for Lawrence North to hang on vs. Noblesville.  As both teams bunkered down in a 2-3 zone a vast majority of the game, outside shooting became a premium.  EJ Smith, senior, and Cooper Bean, junior, led the way for Noblesville, while senior McCoyion Brown...

Game Takes: Culver Academy 66 – Indy Homeschool 56

This one started as you would imagine, sloppy, as it was both teams first games of the season. In the end the Eagles were just too much, as they had the talent to overcome an early 13-9 deficit after the first quarter. The Eagles stayed patient and ran their...

Game Takes: Zionsville 45, Carmel 42

Up 30-21 at the half and playing well, Carmel scored three points in the third quarter and and didn't score in the fourth quarter until just under the five minute mark.  Zionsville wasn't setting the world on fire, but they were inching their way back, mostly behind Logan Imes. Up...

Game Takes: Carmel Sectional First Round

Hamilton Southeastern 44, Fishers 40 It's one thing to have a team go on a late run to effectively decide the game.  It's another to have both teams struggle to score and have it happen.  Suddenly, your team is charged to do what it hadn't done all game.  That's what...

GAME TAKES: #4 Mishawaka Marian 66 – #8 SB St. Joe 60

In a game that had potential NIC implications in it, as well as a potential Sectional 19 match-up, topped by having it's own game title "The Holy War", this game lived up to the hype. Great atmosphere with students allowed in, and a great crowd, this game was tight...

Game Takes: Carmel 63, Lawrence North 47

Carmel inched ahead early and slowly pulled away in the second quarter.  They opened the third with a 11-3 run, and while there were some dicey possessions vs. LN's press, Carmel never really looked back. Carmel opened 7-9 from the 3PT line, a span that stretched into 3rd quarter....

Game Takes: Cathedral 69, Crispus Attucks 59

The good and the bad of it for Cathedral turned out to be their ability to finish at the rim.  When they were getting that done, they were in control of the game.  When it sputtered, they struggled.  When they combined it with turnovers, Crispus Attucks, which had trimmed...

Game Takes: Tindley 77, Tech 68

The game had stretches in which both teams swapped turnovers or rushed shots, but in a game that was tight most of the way, Tindley's production on the offensive glass finally won the night. Tech's Gabe McQuay and Tindley's Antonio Robinson attack the rim the entire game.  Robinson score...

Game Takes: Chesterton 44 – Penn 36

In a game that featured 3 upper-tier guards from the classes of 2022 and 2023, Chesterton's 2022 Travis Grayson got the best of the 2023s of the the Kingsmen and Joe Smith and Markus Burton. The lead, for the now 11-1 Trojans, never got any greater than 9 as...

Game Takes: Northridge 66 – Northwood 58

In what was a tight, back and forth game for a little over three quarters, it turned into an 8 point win for Northridge. Great pace and tempo to this one. In the end, 14 NorthWood turnovers created by the Ridge tough pressure D, combined with Northridge senior leadership...
