Game Takes: Brownsburg at Ben Davis

The Recap:  A 17-2 run from the mid of the third quarter into the fourth propelled Brownsburg from what was a tightly contested rock fight.  Both teams were physical defensively, but Pierce Thomas, Malek Edmonds and Connor Lucas all got going at the same time.  Brownsburg won 57-47. Six Takes: ...

Game Takes: Crispus Attucks at Lawrence Central

The Recap: Lawrence Central jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. Play was sloppy on both ends, but LC attacked and finished in transition.  Attucks is 0-2 vs. 4A teams, which is an issue because they are 4A due to the IHSAA 'success factor' clause.   Six...

Game Takes: Silver Creek vs Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian

The Recap:  Behind junior center, Caleb Furst, Blackhawk Christian jumped out to a 10-2 lead, as Furst really went at Trey Kaufman hard.  Kaufman, 6’8” junior forward, spent much of the game in and out foul trouble.  Luckily for Silver Creek, Kooper Jacobi was the best player on the...

Game Takes: Carmel vs Evansville Reitz

The Recap:  Carmel’s offense opened up more, as young players are gaining confidence, and shots were falling.  It was an early 10-4 lead for Carmel, and it stayed in that range through the first half.  The second half was unkind to Reitz as Carmel pulled away and never let...

Game Takes: Brownsburg vs. Heritage Hills

The Recap:  A tight game until midway through the fourth, then Pierce Thomas and Conner Lucas exploded for Brownsburg!  A 3pt barrage took the score from 51-50 Heritage Hills to 72-51.  Brownsburg pulls away to a 72-54 win.  Four Takes: Thomas’ jump shot is getting to the point where it’s...

Game Takes: Greensburg at Southport

The Recap:  Tight game the whole way.  Southport gets the largest second half lead of seven midway through the fourth. Greensburg cuts the lead to three with the ball, but they were unable to convert on a 3pt attempt by Lane Sparks. Four Takes: Sparks, 6’2” junior guard, one of...

Game Takes: Lawrence North at Lawrence Central

The Recap:  Lawrence Central jumps out to an early 12-2 lead on the back of Nijel Pack's hot shooting, and it all goes downhill from there.  Lawrence North's Tony Perkins, 6'4" senior guard, and DJ Hughes, 6'6" junior forward, combined for 28 points in the first half, and LN...

Game Takes: Pike at Hamilton Southeastern

The Recap: A strong third quarter for Pike makes the difference in this game for a 66-58 win. Four Takes: Have always been impressed with Majak Mabor’s feet on defense.  The 7’2” senior center and Cleveland State commit can play into and out of ball screen reads, as well as the...

Game Takes: Orleans at Barr-Reeve

The Orleans Bulldogs jumped out to a 6-2 lead early in the 1st, but that would be the only time they led in the game.  Both Orleans and Barr-Reeve struggled from the field in this game.  In the end it was the talented Sophomore Hagen Knepp of the Vikings...

Game Takes: Carmel at Lawrence Central

The Recap:  Behind a strong start by DeAndre Davis, getting off to a 10-3 early lead, Lawrence Central controlled the game throughout.  Carmel struggled from the field all night, and LC had plenty of second chance opportunities, winning 67-41. Five Takes: LC has more options than just the Davises (DeAndre,...
