Tuesday’s Daily Dive: 11/24

<p>Week 1 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>&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Zionsville gets HUGE win over Carmel </b></p> <p>In what was a big upset, the Zionsville Eagles were able to knock off the defending 4A State champs, Carmel, 45-42. Zionsville was down 9 points before big plays from [player_tooltip player_id="868255" first="Logan" last="Imes"] and [player_tooltip player_id="774740" first="Isaiah" last="Davis"] got them back into it to secure the home victory. Leading scorer of the night was Carmel’s [player_tooltip player_id="769662" first="Peter" last="Suder"] with his near double-double of 23 points and 9 rebounds. On the winning side, it was Imes who led the Eagles with18 points. Other standout performances were [player_tooltip player_id="868244" first="Nick" last="Richart"] (Zionsville) with 9 points and 8 rebounds, [player_tooltip player_id="1140525" first="Edward" last="Thomas"] (Zionsville) with 8 points, [player_tooltip player_id="774740" first="Isaiah" last="Davis"] (Zionsville) with 7 points, and [player_tooltip player_id="1042491" first="Sam" last="Orme"] (Carmel) with 6 points and 4 rebounds. After this win, Zionsville proved that they are a threat to be taken serious in 4A.                  </p> <p><b>King leads Columbus North past Heritage Christian </b></p> <p>In kind of a surprising outcome, Columbus North blew out Heritage Christian 70-53. However, the story of the night was Columbus North’s [player_tooltip player_id="1063983" first="Sam" last="King"] who dropped a career high 25 points in this big win. King, a PF who is ranked at #100 in our 2022 Class Rankings, is a physical forward that is a little under the radar in the Southern Indiana area. Columbus North will look to continue to roll as they host Jennings County next on 12/26. Heritage Christian will play Lawrence North on neutral grounds on 12/4.                                             </p> <p><b>Lakeland Christian storms back to beat Caston     </b></p> <p>Up North we saw some one 1A action as the Lakeland Christian Cougars defeated the Caston Comets 60-56. Down 15 at the half, the Cougars slowly cut away at the lead before finally able to push past them. Lakeland Christian had some big help from 2 players with one of those being senior <strong>Hunter Rice</strong> who dropped 16 points and junior stud <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1295302" first="Seth" last="Martin"]</strong>, who dropped a team high 22 points. This Lakeland Christian team is one to keep an eye on this season as they could shock some people along the way. The Cougars travel to Bethany Christian on 11/30 next. Caston will host 2A Lewis Cass on 12/1.  </p>
