New Albany has had a weird season, at least from afar checking out their game results.  The important part is they're winning and have put together a good string of wins heading into the final week.  Kaden Stanton has been a big part of that, and vs. Bloomfield, the 6'1" junior guard finished with 32 points, 8 rebounds, 5 steals, 4 assists, going 12-19 from the floor, including 3-7 from 3PT and 5-5 FT.

Cambridge City has a nice group of underclassmen.  Alex Bertsch is among those.  The 6'0" junior guard scored 37 points in a win over Seton Catholic, going 7-12 3PT, adding 4 rebounds and 2 steals.

Shamar Avance has been regarded as the heart and soul of Lawrence North this season.  The uncommitted 6'2" senior point guard continued his strong play this past week.  In their win over Pike, Avance came up 2 rebounds shy of a triple double, finishing with 17 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds.  In their win over Floyd Central on Saturday, Avance finished with 11 points and 7 assists, putting over the 1,000 point mark for his LN career.

Heritage has one of the more productive sophomores in the state, Luke Saylor, among the state leaders for sophomores in scoring, rebounding and assists.  This past weekend the 6'2" guard scored 24 points with 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals in a loss to New Haven.  In their win over Canterbury, he added 29 points with 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
