The home team has won this game each of the last five years, breaking up Carmel's owernship of this series. Both schools continue their steady flow of talent. Each should see sophomores contribute at the varsity level, but each team are by seniors. Logan Imes is one of the top PGs in the state, and Nick Richart is one of the true low post players. Carmel features Sam Orme, but he'll be flanked by Spencer White. Best guess is Jared Bonds will still make his presence felt despite not starting in their scrimmage vs. Lafayette Jeff.

Zionsville sophomore, Maguire Mitchell, and Carmel sophomore, Alex Couto, might be the best shooters for their respective programs.

Last year Fishers started the season surprising Ben Davis, as we all had yet to know how impactful Jalen Haralson would be early on. It turned out...very. Haralson is clearly the engine now, but he's bolstered by two important transfers. Taden Metzger, an excellent shooting junior, transferred to Fishers shortly after the finish of last season, and Fishers also picked up Keenan Garner, 6'6" wing from Germany. Look for improved play from James Stasy, 6'8" senior center, but he'll have his hands full with BD's Zane Doughty.

Ben Davis returns everyone (and then some) from a team that lost to eventual state champion, Cathedral, in the Regional. Doughty, KJ Windham and Sheridan Sharpe are the headliners, but the grittiness and versatility of senior forward Shaun Arnold buys them wins throughout the year.

The first leg of the Buggy Bowl series (ok...we outsiders call it that), features its top two teams this year. North Daviess likes to control tempo and keep the ball in Jaylen Mullen's hands as much as possible. Meanwhile, Loogootee doesn't mind getting up and down, and their senior Payton Bledsoe should be one of the top scorers in the state.
