<h2>Argos @ Tippecanoe Valley</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If for no other reason, the individual matchup in this one between [player_tooltip player_id='1198964' first='J.J.' last='Morris'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1272950' first='Nolan' last='Cumberland'] will be worth watching. These are two under-the-radar teams in their respective classes that are both coming off of wins in the opening week. The Vikings depth led by junior Riley Shepard and senior [player_tooltip player_id='1391868' first='Tayde' last='Kiser'] will likely be the difference, but Morris is talented enough to keep Argos in the game.</p>

<h2>Fort Wayne North Side @ Blackhawk Christian</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Two of the top teams in the Fort Wayne area will tip-off on Tuesday night as North Side travels to take on Blackhawk Christian. It will be an emotional night for the Braves, and all area basketball fans, as Blackhawk will be dedicating the court to Coach Marc Davidson. The Braves, a Top 5 team in Class 2A, feature recent Grace commit [player_tooltip player_id='1042496' first='Gage' last='Sefton'] alongside [player_tooltip player_id='1042499' first='Josh' last='Furst'] around the basket. Look for 6'8" sophomore forward Kellan Pickett to have a breakout season as well. As for North Side, they lost their opener 93-45 to Cathedral, but certainly have the talent to compete in this one. Junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1158178' first='Brauntae' last='Johnson'] is the primary name to watch here for the Legends.</p>

<h2>Greenwood Christian @ Park Tudor</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This will be an early season matchup between two of the best teams in the Pioneer Conference. Greenwood Christian took down Parke Heritage in their opener and feature a pair of talented wings in senior Blake Shoemaker and junior [player_tooltip player_id='1386511' first='Max' last='Booher']. Meanwhile, Park Tudor opened the season with an impressive 70-66 win over Guerin Catholic and look to be one of the most talented teams in Class 2A. Purdue Fort Wayne signee [player_tooltip player_id='868228' first='Jermaine' last='Coleman'] is the household name, but senior wing [player_tooltip player_id='868269' first='Thomas' last='Ruffin'] and sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='1297034' first='Hudson' last='Horvath'] were both key pieces in the Panthers season-opening win.</p>

<h2>Westfield @ Pendleton Heights</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Westfield turned heads around the state with their impressive weekend victory over Class 4A Top 10 Kokomo. Despite losing two Division I guards, including the Mr. Basketball award winner, the Shamrocks appear to have reloaded and got some revenge on the Wildkats from last year's regional. Junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1275749' first='Trey' last='Buchanan'] led the way while senior forward [player_tooltip player_id='1410467' first='Alex' last='Romack'] and senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1461117' first='Sam' last='Bishop'] created a solid three-man attack for coach Shane Sumpter. Pendleton Heights is 0-2 so far but has played stiff competition. Sophomore guard Evan Mozingo is averaging 15 points per game and 6'8" junior forward [player_tooltip player_id='1275772' first='Josiah' last='Gustin'] is a talented two-way prospect. Westfield has the veteran edge, but the Arabians do have some young talent that will continue to improve throughout the season.</p>
