Carmel has one five of the last six, 10 of the last 12 meetings, including 2-0 last season meeting in the state finals. Regardless, these games are rarely not close contests, and they rarely disappoint in the talent department. Both teams enter with likely Indiana all-stars, CJ Gunn (Lawrence North) and Peter Suder (Carmel). Both will likely get Mr. Basketball votes, and Gunn will likely finish toward the top.

When Carmel's juniors are cooking, they're extremely difficult to beat. That's happening more and more, but it's still not an every game thing. LN looking for a consisten second option gets it occasionally from Mac Brown, Kobe Bowles and Azavier Robinson.
