Marion County Tournament semi-finals at Southport

6:00pm - Lawrence North (12-0) vs Ben Davis (5-7)

Winners of three of their last four, including a revenge win over Franklin Central, Ben Davis might be finding their stride a bit.  Going forward they'll do it without the services of senior guard Kai Steinmann, who transferred to Aspire Academy (first reported by Kyle Neddenriep earlier today).

7:30pm - Lawrence Central (13-1) vs Pike (11-2)

A rematch of an earlier game, LC escaped at the buzzer with a win over Pike.  All but one of Pike's games vs Indiana teams have been close, regardless of success of opponent.  Features of a relatively young team.  LC has been impressive at almost every turn this season, and it will be hard for them to not be looking ahead to a rematch with LN as they fend of Pike's revenge.

Culver Academy (6-4) at South Bend St. Joseph's (9-2)

Now that Culver has their Galloways back--Coach Mark missed the first four.  Trey missed the next four due to an injury--they can focus on the rest of the season.  It's an Indiana recruit vs. a Notre Dame recruit (JR Konieczny).

    • Culver Academy
      • Trey Galloway, 6'5" senior guard
      • Nick Hittle, 6'9" senior center
      • Deontae Craig, 6'5" senior forward

      • Cole Hatkevich, 5'11" sophomore point guard

Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian (10-2) at Fort Wayne Bishop Luers (6-3)

Luers best answer for stopping junior center Caleb Furst might be making life miserable for those who mean to pass him the ball.  Look for Furst to have a big game, but look for the difference in this game being the turnover and free throws attempted columns.

    • Fort Wayne Blackhawk Christian
      • Caleb Furst, 6'9" junior center
      • Zane Burke, 6'2" junior guard
      • Marcus Davidson, 6'0" junior guard

Silver Creek (11-1) at Bloomington North (10-3)

    • Silver Creek
      • Trey Kaufman, 6'8" junior forward
      • Kooper Jacobi, 6'5" junior guard
      • Brandon Northern, 6'0" sophomore guard

Westfield (9-1) at Lafayette Jeff (13-1)

Westfield looking to get back into the win column during what is still their best start in well over 50 years.  As well as Westfield runs their Blocker-Mover motion offense, they likely won't get much of a chance to run it vs. Lafayette Jeff's varied zone looks.  

    • Westfield
      • Braden Smith, 5'10" sophomore guard
      • Nic Depasquale, 6'1" sophomore guard
