Friday’s 4A Sectional Recap

<p>4A Sectionals are underway and we have got a big slate of high school hoops going on in the state of Indiana. Let us dive on in and take a look at some highlights of Friday’s night of hoops. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Sectional 15 was the place to be! </strong></p> <p>Wow, what a night in Seymour, IN. First, you had Bedford North Lawrence come back from being down 14 in the third quarter behind big plays down the stretch from <strong>Kooper Staley</strong>, <strong>Ben Cosner</strong>, and <strong>Colten Leach</strong>. With 6.5 sec remaining, BNL drove the length of the court and <strong>Ben Cosner</strong> hit the game winning 15fter to give the Stars the upset victory over New Albany. Following that, you had Jeffersonville vs Floyd Central, a game that went into 3OTs. There were tons of great games from our prospects including [player_tooltip player_id="926885" first="Brandon" last="Rayzer-Moore"] with 24 points, [player_tooltip player_id="769655" first="Will" last="Lovings-Watts"] with 17 points, and [player_tooltip player_id="569350" first="Jake" last="Heidbreder"] with 31 points. In the end, it was Jeffersonville’s Lovings-Watts hitting a last second drive to advance them to play Bedford in that championship tonight.        </p> <p><strong>Sectional 8: Smith will not quit!</strong></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="870222" first="Braden" last="Smith"] has arguably been the best player this whole week in Indiana. Had an outstanding Tuesday with 23 points, including 5 threes, but last night he nearly doubled that with his 41 point performance. Westfield defeated Noblesville last night 81-74 and the Millers just had no answer to Smith. Carmel also defeated Hamilton Southeastern which will set up a huge championship game tonight. Can Smith single handedly take down one of Indiana’s top teams? The way he has been playing, it would not be a surprise.  </p> <p><strong>Quick Hitters:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Munster beat Hammond Morton 72-38</li> <li>Gary West beat Lake Central 58-29</li> <li>Portage beat Lowell 41-36</li> <li>Valparaiso beat Crown Point 47-31</li> <li>South Bend Riley beat Michigan City 91-76</li> <li>South Bend Adams beat Mishawaka 68-60</li> <li>Penn beat Northridge 45-40</li> <li>Elkhart beat Warsaw 59-57</li> <li>Carroll beat Fort Wayne North 74-44</li> <li>Snider beat East Noble 69-54</li> <li>Homestead beat Fort Wayne South 74-44</li> <li>New Haven beat Fort Wayne Wayne 77-65</li> <li>Lafayette Jeff beat Harrison 79-72</li> <li>McCutcheon beat Kokomo 62-41</li> <li>Anderson beat Pendleton Heights 72-59</li> <li>Mt.
