Taking the coward's way out this week. Three players became their school's all-time leading scorer.
Landon Biegel, 6'5" senior forward; Oak Hill
Markus Burton, 6'0" senior guard; Penn
Luke McBride, 6'1" senior guard; Norwell
In Burton's case, he became the all-time leading scorer out of St. Joseph County, becoming...
We didn't call him the best prospect in Indiana for nothing! Jalen Haralson is that man. Fishers has had a number of tight losses, but when you have the best player on the floor the scales could easily flip in your favor when it matters most.
In an OT loss...
Big games are nothing new these days for Jack Benter. The 6'5" junior guard, who is headed to Purdue, stacks them up, but his outing vs. Columbus East was impressive. 43 points, including 9 made 3PTers, and 8 rebounds in Brownstown Central's 92-47 win.
Congratulations Jack Benter on being Courtside...
It was a big week for Ben Davis, and while it is a team effort, winning the Marion County Tournament, POTW tends to go to one player. The impact Zane Doughty has doesn't always show up neatly on a stat column. There is no 'glue to the defense' column....
We do like triple-doubles. Leading West Noble to their best start in nearly a decade, 10-1, senior Austin Cripe has been a varsity contributor his whole high school career. This week he produced his normal stat sheet stuffing.
In a win over Eastside, Cripe produced 10 points, 6 rebounds, 3...
Making a definite push for the Indiana All-star team, Mason Jones continues his impressive senior years. The 6'7" Ball State commit, along with his production listed below, surpassed the 1,000 career scoring mark. In a loss to Gary 21st Century, Jones totaled 23 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and...
Seeing is believing. Down 21-1, Penn was three timeouts into shell shock vs. Zionsville. Markus Burton put a couple of quick baskets in, including a 3PTer. At the end of the first, Penn had chopped Zionsville lead in half, 24-11, with Burton being 100% of Penn's offense.
A switch to...
It was a tough one this week, because we do like multiple performances. Opening their season this week vs. two undefeated teams, Penn had their work cut out for them playing teams with totally different styles of play. Senior guard and Mr. Basketball candidate, Markus Burton cut through that....
We're into the second week of the high school. Coaches, thank you for your POTW nominations from week one!
Going 3-0 to start the season, including winning the Loogootee, Josiah Dunham put his team on his back. He had three big performances this week.
vs. Northeast Dubois - 32...
Starting the week with 28 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals in a win over Fishers, Braden Smith set the tone for the week that he was on a mission, leading Westfield to the first sectional championship in their school's 104 year history. The 6'1" senior point...
