This one started as you would imagine, sloppy, as it was both teams first games of the season. In the end the Eagles were just too much, as they had the talent to overcome an early 13-9 deficit after the first quarter. The Eagles stayed patient and ran their sets and turned up the D. The Wildcats on the other side fought the entire game, and in the end just didn't have the dogs to stay in the fight. In a team with a great core of juniors, the Eagles will be in every game this season.

  • Cooper Farrall has gotten bigger and stronger. He's able to fight through contact and isn't afraid to take the ball to the basket. Outside shot is still stolid. Has improved as a rebounder and is making improvements as a defender. Tons of upside for the junior, as most already know. He finished with 26, including three 3s. Turned it on when his team needed him. Looks to be a leader.
  • Thomas Collins is a 6' junior guard who I love. Great shooter, dependable with the ball and coming off of screens, and is a bulldog on defense. Solid passer with great court vision. Does all the little things right, and a glue guy who you want on your squad and I'd take all day long. This is a kid on the rise. Finished with 14 (3 3s).
  • One kid who might have a little attention and be on some radars is 6'4" junior Fola Fayemi. I feel like he is just scratching the surface of his potential. Has some bounce to him and is long. Can rebound and block shots. Improving his feet as a defender. Post moves have improved also, and he is getting better at finishing at the rim. Once he puts it all together I think he has a great chance to open some more eyes. Had 12 and a handful of rebounds.
  • Indy Homeschool had a couple of kids that kept them in the game. 5"11" senior Joel Owen and 6'4" senior Sam Wirts were both solid. Owen had 5 3s, and could really shoot it. Wirts used his length to rebound and cause fits on D. He ended up with 14 and 7 rebounds. Could be solid DIII options.
