(Game at Hulman Center) Parke Heritage, the defending 2A runner-up, opens the year vs. another 2A championship contender. Parke Heritage lost their 2nd and 3rd leading scorer to graduation, but they return Christian Johnson and two other starters in Noble Johnson and Wood. They also get a boost from Nas McNeal, a transfer from Terre Haute North.

Linton is led by Hart, the possessor a many D1 offers. Webb and Walters create a lot of offensive and defensive options for the Miners.

(Game at 1:30pm) Zionsville enters after a big win vs. Carmel, while Ben Davis comes in after a tough loss to Fishers. Both teams match up strength vs. strength. RIchart and Davis vs. Doughty and Faires. Imes, MacAbee and Thomas vs. Sharpe, Butler and Windham. All are underclassmen exception Zionsville's Davis.

Zionsville got production from Imes, Davis and Thomas behind the arc vs. Carmel, and MacAbee is a proven shooter. Sharpe and Faires each had a pair of 3's vs. Fishers.

(Game at 4:30pm) Good time for Central Indiana fans to check out FW North's Johnson. Johnson, who is reportedly a fabulous football player, is one of the top sophomores in the state in basketball.

With Gunn out until mid-December, Lawrence North pretty much has five new starters. They battled to a tighter than the score indicated win over Noblesville, getting great guard play from Bowles and sharp shooting from McCoyian.

Despite losing Langdon Hatton to graduation and William & Mary, North Harrison returns a bulk of their experience from last season's stellar season. McIntyre is committed to Evansville, Oakley gives them size, and Kellems and Weitzel bring length to the perimeter.

The opposite is true for Heritage Hills. Graduation swept through their program, but this is the start of the Blake Sisley era. Sisley is one of the top two players in the class of 2025, already has multiple HM offers...so it begins.
