Our Roundup segment will be a great way of getting the overview from around the state.  We will key in on the best games and stats from around the state. 

Zach Gunn With Big Game, Lifts HSE Past Muncie Central

After a disappointing season in 2014-15, HSE was looking to get back on track and with a great performance from junior wing Zach Gunn, they were able to get started on the right foot.  The 6'7 prospect went off from 29 points and 15 rebounds and got a 87-82 win over Muncie Central.  Heading into the fourth quarter, Muncie Central had a 66-61 lead but some big baskets from Trevin Trabue and Noah Smith got them the lead and some clutch free throw shooting down the stretch sealed the win.  Senior guard Greg Miller had 18 points for HSE.  Seniors Phillip Corneth and Andre Jones had 23 and 13, respectively.  

Northeastern Survives Overtime To Beat Monroe Central

Northeastern came into the season as one of the favorites in 2A but they ran into a test in the first game of the season.  Monroe Central, who was down 37-28 at the half, used a 24 points third quarter to claw back into the game and eventually forced overtime.  Northeastern, however, was too much and a 30 points outing from junior Nate Reynolds led the way.  Standout guard Tyler Smith chipped in 22 points and 7 assists.

Tucker Blackwell Has Huge First Half In Bloomington South Win

As what happens with most teams that graduate quite a few seniors, you hope you have a junior that can step in and fill the void.  Bloomington South senior guard Tucker Blackwell showed he could do that on Tuesday night to the tune of 26 points, 21 of which came in the first half in a win over Edgewood.  Tucker hit 5/6 from three in the first quarter.  Bloomington South won 67-49 over Edgewood.  Hunter Lloyd scored 14 points for BS.  Brayden Patten had 15 points and 6 rebounds for Edgewood.

Indianapolis Lighthouse Gets Huge Win Over Tindley

In the biggest upset of the year so far, Indianapolis Lighthouse, behind 16 points from Jordan Harris, was able to knock off Indianapolis Tindley on Tuesday.  Lighthouse was down 17-25 at halftime but put together back-to-back 18 point quarters to end the game.  Lighthouse went 19-4 last season but the schedule wasn't tough. This year, head coach Kevin Butler has loaded up with games like this one against Tindley.  Eric Hunter had 19 points to pace Indianapolis Tindley.
