Blackhawk routes Homestead
In probably the most highly anticipated game of the night, it turned out to be one of the most disappointing. The 2A Blackhawk Christian Braves went on the road and completely dominated 4A Homestead 51-27. While the game was close at the end of the 1Q, the Braves started to really pressure the Spartans and start scoring points off of turnovers. The big three of Gage Sefton Gage Sefton 6'4" | SG Blackhawk Christian | 2023 State IN , Josh Furst Josh Furst 6'6" | C Blackhawk Christian | 2023 State IN , and Kellen Pickett Kellen Pickett 6'9" | PF Blackhawk Christian | 2025 State #108 Nation IN all had monster games for the Braves. This was the first time that Blackhawk had beaten Homestead in 5 years.

Boonville upsets Reitz
Down in southern Indiana, the 3A Boonville Pioneers went on the road to upset the 4A Evansville Reitz Panthers 59-56.

Senior SG Jake Fuller lead Boonville with a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds. On the Reitz side, senior guard Will Kirkland lead with 17 points and other guards Braylen Langley Braylen Langley 6'9" | SG Evansville Reitz | 2026 State IN and Jayden Sanders each had 13 points.
