This was a battle between each teams best player. Deaglan Sullivan carried Marian throughout the game along with Dareon Thornton having an impact in overtime. Fishers had a slim lead for most of the game leading by 5 at halftime and was up 2 at the end of the 3rd. Marian’s 2-3 zone slowed Fishers down and they had a hard time executing at times.

* Senior guard Deaglan Sullivan did it all for Marian on Wednesday morning. Fishers could not keep him from getting to the rim. He scored most of his points at the rim and from the free throw line. Sullivan ended with 29 points. This kid needs more offers!!

* Senior forward Dareon Thornton was huge in overtime for the Knights. Thornton hit a contested three to put them up by 3 in overtime and hit 2 huge free throws to put them up 3 again with 2.5 seconds left.

* Jalen Haralson was good again as usual. Most of his buckets came at the rim and from the free throw line. Marian’s zone definitely “slowed him down” even though he had 26 points. In the second half he did struggle to finish at times, but the zone had him trying to finish over 2 or 3 guys.

* Jr guard Taden Metzger was a zone buster for Fishers. His first 2 three’s didn’t hit the rim in the 1st quarter and I started to think Marian’s going to come out of the zone in a hurry but then I remembered the 2-3 zone is a staple for Coach Rob Bergen’s Knights. Metzger ended with 12 points on 4 3’s.
