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...

Game Takes: Cathedral 51, Carmel 50

The game went as expected, back and forth.  Both teams held 8-point leads.  It was actually a Cathedral 19-4 run (15-0 at one point), taking their 7-point deficit to their largest lead at 30-22.  Carmel dug in, took the lead back at 34-33, and from there, no one led...

Game Takes: Ben Davis 51, Beech Grove 48

Truly a tale of two halves, and it’s tough to resolve what happened in the second half.  Ben Davis tried to come out in the first half and assert themselves as the big school favorite they usually are.  Beech Grove withstood the defensive pressure, took the first punch then...

Game Takes: Greencastle 60, Sullivan 50

Sullivan started out well early, and after Greencastle narrowed the initial gap, the rest of the game was Greencastle would surge, Sullivan would catch up.  In the fourth quarter, Greencastle led by as many as 12, and Sullivan could not close that gap any lower than eight. Every scoring...

Game Takes: Carmel 54, Westfield 30

Carmel took control of the game in the second quarter, hitting on four early 3pters, and while Westfield showed a little spark to start the second half, Carmel’s length, which was a problem the whole game, shut down Westfield down and turned defense into offense. From this morning’s Game...

Game Takes: Carmel 57, Barr-Reeve 55 OT

In the 1992 Final Four, with Indiana struggling to keep up with Duke, Todd Leary, a star player from Lawrence North, averaged 3.8 points per game, playing just over 7 minutes per game, played one minute.  In that minute of action in the second half, Leary amassed three 3pters...

Game Takes: Bloomington North 67, Perry Meridian 57

It looked several times as if Jayden Taylor might have had enough to carry his team to victory.  Bloomington North would pull away by 8 or 9, Perry Meridian would claw its way back.  As the fourth quarter wore on, Taylor and the Falcons would not get it closer...

Game Takes: Champions of Character Classic (Grace College)

South Bend Riley 79, Fort Wayne Snider 75 OT Looking back, this was the best game of the day.  Not just tightness of the game, but the level of playmaking and shot making, especially from Snider kids I hadn't seen before.   All the more solidifying my views that Michael Eley...
