Tuesday’s Daily Dive: 1/3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 7 of the Indiana high school basketball is officially underway and we had got a big slate of high school hoops going on last night in Indiana. Let us dive on in and take a look at some highlights of Tuesday's night of hoops.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Providence stuns Southwestern (Hanover)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last night saw Southwestern (Hanover) gain their first loss of the season to the reigning 2A state champion Providence 68-42.<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1287890' first='Noah' last='Lovan']</strong> was the leading scorer for the Pioneers with his 21 points while <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578454' first='Peyton' last='Gwin']</strong> lead Southwestern with 14 points. Southwestern had won 12 in a row before dropping this one last night. Providence improves to 6-3 on the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Buchannan goes off</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In what was an exciting game at the 4A level, Westfield went on the road to defeat Mt. Vernon Fortville 67-58. 2024 guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1275749' first='Trey' last='Buchanan']</strong> went absolutely off last night with his 25 points which included 4 threes. On the MVF side, it was senior guard <strong>Eli Bridenthal</strong> with 15 points that lead the Marauders. It was the experience of Westfield vs. the youth of MVF and the experience was what prevailed. [player_tooltip player_id='1410467' first='Alex' last='Romack'] made some plays down the stretch and no matter how well MVF freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1561435' first='Julien' last='Smith'] or [player_tooltip player_id='1728587' first='Luke' last='Ertel'] played, Westfield always had an answer. Both of these teams are sneaky good. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hammond Central continues to roll</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Up north, the Hammond Central Wolves continued to roll with their win over East Chicago Central 76-54. On the night, 4 players scored in double figures for Hammond Central which included [player_tooltip player_id='1158224' first='Daniel' last='Garza'] with 20 points, <strong>Vynce Overshawn</strong> with 17 points, [player_tooltip player_id='1049160' first='Jordan' last='Woods'] with 12 points, and [player_tooltip player_id='1384393' first='Matthew' last='King'] with 10 points. East Chicago Central's Dominique Murphy was actually the leading scorer for both squads with his 23 points. Hammond Central is not 12-1 on the year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
