Friday Night Games to Watch (12/15)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is time for another Friday night full of Indiana High School Basketball. Prep Hoops Indiana will have boots on the ground coverage from Yorktown at Greenfield-Central (<a href="https://twitter.com/kylerstaley">@kylerstaley</a>) and Kokomo at Marion (<a href="https://twitter.com/BRamseyKSR">@BRamseyKSR</a>). However, we will also serve as your one stop shop for information on all games from every corner of the state. Be sure to check back on the website late Friday night after games have concluded for scores and highlights from 20+ contests statewide. Now, let's dive on in and preview five of the best games to watch around the state of Indiana on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fishers @ Hamilton Southeastern</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It doesn't get much better than a good old Mudsock game. When this rivalry tips off you can throw the records out of the window and expect a tightly contested matchup. Fishers enters the contest with a 6-0 record and #3 ranking in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 4A poll. Meanwhile, Hamilton Southeastern is 2-2 after an overtime victory over Marion. The Royals haven't played in nearly two weeks, so [player_tooltip player_id='2079501' first='Nate' last='Orr V'], [player_tooltip player_id='1275826' first='Donovan' last='Hamilton'], [player_tooltip player_id='2056301' first='Braeden' last='Totton'], and company should be well rested. However, matching up with [player_tooltip player_id='2079500' first='Keenan' last='Garner'], [player_tooltip player_id='1578471' first='Taden' last='Metzger'], and the Tigers dynamic freshmen guards will not be an easy task. Expect a great game and incredible atmosphere at HSE tonight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fort Wayne Wayne @ Carroll (Fort Wayne)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fans in the Fort Wayne area have a fun one to look forward to with the 3-2 Chargers playing host to the 3-2 #9 ranked Generals. This game will feature a ton of talent as Bowling Green signee [player_tooltip player_id='1158216' first='Jaxon' last='Pardon'] and Grace bound [player_tooltip player_id='1270990' first='Cannen' last='Houser'] suit up for Carroll across from [player_tooltip player_id='1158193' first='Jevon' last='Lewis'], [player_tooltip player_id='1297001' first='Chase' last='Barnes'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1297032' first='Trey' last='Dillard'] for Wayne. Aside from the star-power this game could come down to the X-Factors. [player_tooltip player_id='1525665' first='Jaiyre' last='Sampson'] has had an excellent season for Carroll as has [player_tooltip player_id='1297075' first='Khalyn' last='Williams-Thomas'] for Wayne. That will be a good battle in the backcourt. In many ways this will be a battle for early season supremacy in the Fort Wayne.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kokomo @ Marion</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The North Central Conference isn't what it used to be, but you still can't help but feel the Indiana High School Basketball nostalgia in this matchup. Two historic programs will face-off as the 3-2 Marion Giants host the 4-2 #7 ranked Kokomo Wildkats. Kansas signee [player_tooltip player_id='1363488' first='Flory' last='Bidunga'] is coming off of a game where he scored just 4 points in a 77-55 loss to the Fishers at the FORUM Tipoff Classic and will be looking to return to his dominant ways. Fellow senior forward [player_tooltip player_id='2282357' first='Karson' last='Rogers'] has had an excellent season so far too and will look to keep that rolling. As for the Giants, junior wing [player_tooltip player_id='1297057' first='Jaymen' last='Townsend'] is the player to watch. I'll have live updates from this game on Twitter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Silver Creek @ Jeffersonville</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After a somewhat surprising 6-0 start to the season Silver Creek has climbed to #10 in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 3A poll. Sharpshooting sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='1385611' first='Kasen' last='Daeger'] has been a big part of that success averaging 21.8 points per game while knocking in an incredible 22 of 41 three-point attempts. Fellow sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1561483' first='Dane' last='Sprigler'] has added 15.7 points per game. The Dragons will be put to the test in this one though going against Jeffersonville who is coming off of a 40-39 upset to Seymour. Jeffersonville is just 1-2 on the year, but the junior trio of [player_tooltip player_id='1388408' first='Tre' last='Singleton'], [player_tooltip player_id='1297093' first='Michael' last='Cooper'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1373104' first='P.J.' last='Douglas'] gives them a chance every time they step on the floor. Senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2099233' first='Jeremy' last='Rose'] is off to a good start at his new home as well. This will be the game to watch in southern Indiana this evening.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">South Bend St. Joseph @ South Bend Riley</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've got the entire state covered here on a Friday night. If you are a basketball fan in South Bend there will be no better place to be that South Bend Riley High School to watch the 5-1 Wildcats take on 3-2 South Bend St. Joseph. Bethel commit [player_tooltip player_id='1547394' first='Payton' last='Baird'], dynamic junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1297088' first='Marvin' last='Schindler'], and company will go against a talented duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1297002' first='Chase' last='Konieczny'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2024513' first='Nick' last='Shrewsberry'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
