<p>Week 7 is underway and we have got a full slate of high school hoops going on this week in Indiana. Let us dive on in and take a look at what some of Indiana’s top prospects did on Tuesday’s night of basketball. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Lafayette Jeff snaps Fishers' unbeaten streak </b></p>
<p>Coming into this game, Fishers was one of the hottest teams in 4A being undefeated in their first 12 games. That streak was snapped when a great Lafayette Jeff team came into town and beat the Tigers 68-65. This game went into overtime and had some great performances by Jeff's junior SF <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/brooks-barnhizer/">Brooks Barnhizer</a> (29 points) and Fishers' sophomore PF <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jeffrey-simmons/">Jeffrey Simmons</a> (21 points). So now both teams each have only a 1 in the loss column halfway through the season and are both still in contentions for a state championship. </p>
<p><b>Bishop Luers beat Marion behind 3 18+ point performances </b></p>
<p>As most know that follow the Indiana High School basketball scene by now, Marion's <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jalen-blackmon/">Jalen Blackmon</a> was announced to be out indefinitely with a knee injury. While that is a without a doubt a factor in last night's Bishop Luers' victory over the Giants, 70-62, that should not take away from 3 outstanding, individual performances from the Knights. Prospects <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jalen-causey/">Jalen Causey</a> (20 points), <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/naylon-thompson/">Naylon Thompson</a> (19 points), and <strong>DeMarcus Hudson</strong> (18 points) all were the main reason why the Knights were able to get the win. Marion players like senior <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/jakylen-thomas/">Jakylen Thomas</a> will need to step-up in Blackmon's absence. </p>
<p><b>Charlie Yoder continues to have an awesome senior season </b></p>
<p>Last night saw Westview defeat East Noble 57-51 in what was a close battle throughout. The story of that game was senior prospect <a href="https://prephoops.com/player/charlie-yoder/">Charlie Yoder</a> having another solid night with a huge double-double of 27 points and 16 rebounds. Yoder has consistently been playing at a high level all season and is a big reason why the Warriors are 6-2 at the moment. With Yoder's scoring consistency, Westview will continue to roll onto a possible state final. </p>
