Friday Night Games to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We starting to get into the full swing of the Indiana High School Basketball season and this will be our second full Friday night slate. As always, we will have boots on the ground at a game (Park Tudor vs. Parke Heritage) but will also have full coverage from every corner of our great state. Here are five games you will want to follow this evening.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brownsburg @ Pike</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over on the west side of Indianapolis between the 3-1 Bulldogs and the 1-1 Red Devils. Pike, led by former NBA All-Star head coach Jeff Teague, will feature sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='1560945' first='Dezhon' last='Hall'] along with junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1297011' first='Damon' last='Howard']. Those two create one of the more dynamic backcourts in the Indianapolis area. [player_tooltip player_id='1539290' first='Titus' last='Hunter'] has had a strong start to the season as well. For Brownsburg, they will run out a talented backcourt duo as well of [player_tooltip player_id='1293376' first='Grant' last='Porath'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1172872' first='Jordan' last='Lomax']. This game could come down which group of guards outplays the other.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fort Wayne Snider @ Fort Wayne Wayne</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Up in the Hot Wayne area this will be the game to watch. Snider is off to a 2-0 start led by a stable of young talent. Freshmen Trell Houge and [player_tooltip player_id='2140409' first='Ketron' last='Paschall'] have each been excellent while junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1297103' first='Qualyn' last='Clopton'] led the Panthers in scoring in their most recent win over DeKalb. Meanwhile, Wayne is coming off of putting 98 points in a win over New Haven. [player_tooltip player_id='1158193' first='Jevon' last='Lewis'], [player_tooltip player_id='1297001' first='Chase' last='Barnes'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1297075' first='Khalyn' last='Williams-Thomas'] create one of the best backcourts in the state while [player_tooltip player_id='1297032' first='Trey' last='Dillard'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1297102' first='Preston' last='Comer'] man the front court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Noblesville @ Carmel</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The game of the night around central Indiana will happen at Carmel High School as the Greyhounds take on rival Noblesville. This potential Sectional 8 preview will feature the Class 4A #6 Millers led by senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1158209' first='Aaron' last='Fine'], senior wing [player_tooltip player_id='1275012' first='Hunter' last='Walston'], and sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='1534261' first='Justin' last='Curry II']. As for the Greyhounds, they have improved to 2-1 with back-to-back wins over Lawrence Central and Plainfield. Junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1578342' first='Alex' last='Couto'] leads the way while 6'7" sophomore forward [player_tooltip player_id='1560952' first='Evan' last='Harrell'] is one to watch as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Princeton @ Evansville Bosse</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1578401' first='Jace' last='Jenkins'] has had an excellent start to the season leading Princeton to a 3-1 record as they emerge as a sneaky contender in Sectional 31 down south. Versatile 6'6" sophomore forward [player_tooltip player_id='1560964' first='Edwin' last='Holmes'] is a tough matchup for opponents and could be an X-Factor in this one against Bosse. The Bulldogs feature dynamic guard [player_tooltip player_id='1158192' first='Taray' last='Howell'] who is one of the best pure scorers in the state of Indiana. They are currently 0-2 but certainly have the roster to get it clicking in a hurry. This should be a fun one to watch for those down in the Pocket City.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scottsburg @ Brownstown Central</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This one will be worth coming from far and wide to get a glimpse of. However, unless you have had tickets since before the season began, you likely won't have any luck getting in the doors. The status of Purdue signee [player_tooltip player_id='1158245' first='Jack' last='Benter'] is still up in the air, but regardless this will be a heck of a matchup between Class 3A #1 and Class 2A #1. The Warriors feature a three-headed monster of [player_tooltip player_id='1276470' first='Jack' last='Miller'], [player_tooltip player_id='1401893' first='Kody' last='Clancy'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1578484' first='Wyatt' last='Zellers']. Brownstown will counter with Benter, [player_tooltip player_id='1297005' first='Colby' last='Hall'], [player_tooltip player_id='1296999' first='Chace' last='Coomer'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1547584' first='Parker' last='Hehman']. This is going to be a fun one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
