The Recap:  Behind a strong start by DeAndre Davis, getting off to a 10-3 early lead, Lawrence Central controlled the game throughout.  Carmel struggled from the field all night, and LC had plenty of second chance opportunities, winning 67-41.

Five Takes:

  • LC has more options than just the Davises (DeAndre, DeAnte) and Nijel Pack.  Jasen Graves, 6'1" senior guard, transferred over from Pike, and they have a scoring threat in Greg Jenkins, 6'3" junior guard.   Javien Bigbee, 6'5" senior forward is good on the glass and defensively around the basket. 
  • DeAndre Davis' shot improves each time out it seems, and he certainly pleased all the people in the stands wearing Louisville gear.  Pack struggled in the first half but was able to get going in the second. 
  • DeAnte Davis, 6'5" sophomore forward is bigger than his brother at a comparable age, and his talent is apparent.  He could stand to be more assertive on the offensive end, and his teammates could be heard urging him on during game.  Loved that he was a willing defender.  
  • Charlie Williams, 6'8" sophomore center, and Pete Suder, 6'4" sophomore guard, had a lot of good looks that just didn't go in.  Their willingness to make plays, especially Williams, bodes well going forward.
  • The only other player who is aggressive offensively for Carmel is Will Leary, 6'2" junior guard.
