Game Takes: Carmel 64, Noblesville 36

A 13-3 second quarter saw Carmel stretch a three point 1st quarter lead to a 26-13 spread at halftime.  Their lead only grew from there.   Brian Waddell was outstanding for Carmel tonight.  The skilled 6'7" wing is a willing defender and rebounds his position.  While being a consistent...

Game Takes: Gary West 63 – Michigan City 61

Jalen Washington didn't play in West Sides first game of the season vs Hammond Gavit, so his status for this one was up in the air for me. After seeing him go through warm-ups he seemed ready to go, and he was. He started and played limited minutes, nut...

Game Takes: Santa 4 Shoes Classic – Brownsburg

DISCLOSURE:  Only saw games 1,2 and 4 in full Brownsburg vs. Gary 21st Century Pierce Thomas didn't play for Brownsburg.  He did not have enough practices following a COVID quarantine to play.  Brownsburg's success will rely deeper than his presence in the lineup.  While they certainly are better with him,...

Game Takes: Riley 60 – Marian 49

The Wildcats came out dialed in from the tip. With new coach Alex Daniel this team has a totally different feel from last years Riley squad. They played hard and as a team. Focused on their game plan, they executed it nicely. Fired on all cylinders early and often....

Game Takes: Cathedral 70, Brebeuf 58

Cathedral has now won this game 20 straight times, and staring off on a 21-2 run pretty much propelled them to the win.  The Irish stretched the lead to as high as 23. However, Brebeuf cut it to 10 by the end of the 3rd quarter.  Cathedral scored the...

Game Takes: Pike 84, Hamilton Southeastern 73

A strong second quarter propelled Pike to what would eventually be a 23 point lead toward the end of the third quarter.  In those two quarters, HSE looked sped up, and that's not where any team wants to be playing Pike. Pike's Ryan Conwell, 6'2" junior guard, looks more...

Game Takes: Loogootee 85 Evansville Day 76

In the first half of the game it looked as Loogootee on track for a commanding win while leading as much as 22 points.  The game was truly a tale of two halves as Evansville Day was able to get it to a 5 point Loogootee lead with 2:30...

Game Takes: Bloomington North 38, BNL 27

It was anybody's game for 3 quarters.  With 5:45 left in the 4th Junior Nate Toohill hit a 3 to start a 14-2 run and that would seal a win for the Bloomington North Cougars. Bloomington North Junior Guard Nick Klaiber did not play.  No word as to why. ...

Game Takes: Carmel 61, Columbus North 51

While Carmel led most of the way, it was never more than a two possession game until the 2:12 mark of the 4th quarter.  Carmel iced the game at the FT line. Carmel's Peter Suder has taken another step toward being a consistent shooter.  Not just knocking down mid-range...

Game Takes: Victory Christian Academy 65 – Gary 21st Century 61

The Recap: In a game that started off kind of sloppy and fast paced and benefited Gary 21st, it ended with a VCA win. The end of the first quarter ended with a massive DJ Moss dunk in transition and it looked like Gary 21st might be able to...
