Game Takes: Zionsville 67, Westfield 65 2OT

In what was a thrilling game to start off  Hoosier Crossroads Conference play, we saw 2 of the better teams in the state go head to head. Westfield got out to an early lead going up 13-7 after the first quarter but was met every time. Zionsville had one...

Game Takes: Zionsville 50, Ben Davis 49

Zionsville led most of the way, but Ben Davis never let it too far away, saving their biggest runs for their biggest deficits.  The largest lead of the game was Zionsville by eight, and BD came out of a timeout firing off an 8-0 run. Logan Imes, 6'3" junior...

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....

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...
