Tuesday’s Daily Dive: 12/15

<p>Week 4 is underway and we have got a big slate of high school hoops going on this week in Indiana. Let us dive on in and take a look at some highlights of Tuesday’s night of hoops. </p> <p><b>Cloverdale over Terre Haute South in OT      </b></p> <p>Last night saw 2A Cloverdale and 4A Terre Haute South go into overtime with the Clovers getting the win, 62-55. Cloverdale junior stud [player_tooltip player_id="796015" first="Kyle" last="Thomas"] dropped 29 points and was the team’s leader in points on the night. With this win, Cloverdale is now 4-0 and is slowly starting to clime the ranks in 2A. On the other side, Terre Haute South has dropped to 2-4 on the season with a schedule that does not get any easier. Cloverdale will travel to Greencastle on Saturday while Terre Haute South travels to South Vermilion on Friday.           </p> <p><b>Blackford survives Northeastern </b></p> <p>In what was a great game between 2 of the top 18 teams in 2A, the Blackford Bruins were able to survive the Northeastern Knights, 86-77. This was a back and forth game for the most part before Blackford went on a 10-0 run in the last 2 mins to put the Knights away. There were a ton of great performances from our prospects with players like [player_tooltip player_id="647199" first="Luke" last="Brown"] (Blackford, 37 pts, 13 asts), <strong>Jack Wors</strong> (Blackford, 19 pts), Kolden Vanlandingham (Northeastern, 35 pts, 6 rbs), [player_tooltip player_id="874165" first="Carter" last="Lumpkin"] (Northeastern 19 pts, 8 rbs), and [player_tooltip player_id="1063964" first="Raedhyn" last="Foust"] ( 13 pts, 10 rbs) all going off. Both teams were undefeated going into this game before Blackford showed that they are one of the best teams in 2A. Blackford will take on Liberty Christian on Thursday while Northeastern will travel to Shenandoah on Friday.                        </p> <p><b>Lawrence Central beats Crispus Attucks in thriller    </b></p> <p>In an awesome game with a thrilling finish, Lawrence Central was able to beat Crispus Attucks, 78-75, in a last second 3-point shot. That buzzer beater came from Lawrence Central’s <strong>Greg Jenkins</strong>, who dropped 19 points on the night. Other top scorers of the night were Lawrence Central’s <strong>Dameriz Merriweather</strong> (15 pts, 11 rbs) and Attucks’ <strong>Isaiah Stafford</strong>, [player_tooltip player_id="868218" first="Jalen" last="Hooks"], and Donovon Barnett all dropping 15 points. Lawrence Central improves to 2-3 and will take on Pike on Friday. Crispus Attucks lost their first game of the season here but still has a great record of 6-1 and will travel to Merrillville on Friday.    </p>
