Havoc in the Heartland – Six Sunday Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2023 Prep Hoops Circuit Havoc in the Heartland is officially in the books. Over the last three days many of the top teams from the Midwest and beyond descended upon Fishers and Noblesville on the north side of Indianapolis for this great event. As always, our Prep Hoops staff had boots on the ground coverage coming to you live from the moment games tipped off on Friday night until the final buzzer on Sunday afternoon. There will be several days worth of content coming out of this event as we get into the week, but first let's take a look at six prospects that really stood out with their strong play on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Isaac Ellsworth","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77246","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Albert Gallatin","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Coast 2 Coast 2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"13 three-pointers in two games on Sunday certainly will catch your attention.

McSweeney is a Class of 2025 prospect from North Carolina that played up an age ground and more than held his own. He scored 17 points in a win over Team Takeoff 2024-1 and then 11 points in a hard fought win against OPS 2024 Black.

He started the day off by dropping 20 points in a 77-70 win over Team Teague Lyles 2024. The 6'2u0022 guard had his shot-making ability on display in that one as he connected on four three-pointers.
