Breakdown: This past season, Indianapolis Tindley finally pulled through and picked up a State Championship. They were loaded for a 1A team but they have since lost a key contributor to transfer, their head coach, and some of the supporting cast has graduated. Will be interesting to see what they look like early on in the year. However, the team that looks best on paper is Blackhawk Christian who has a 6’10 transfer coming in along with a 6’7 senior and a 6’8 freshman. They will be ridiculously deep with a senior point guard in Jalan Mull leading the way. Hard to pick against Central Catholic as they are amongst the most consistent teams in the state. Gary 21st has some key players back including DeAndre Gholston. Morristown has a trio of guards returning that should produce at a high level. Wood Memorial and Bloomfield are deep with talent and both have guys that have taken big steps in their development in the last year. University still has talent and all are seniors this season. Lakewood Park loses a few seniors but their younger players have some game to them and could surprise some people.
