Game Takes: Tip Off Classic at Southport HS

North Central 70, Franklin Central 54 This was mostly a back and forth game through three quarters, but as NC was able to speed the game up bit, converting in transition, Leland Walker started to shine. There isn't a ton of space for Walker to easily get going, especially vs....

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: 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...
