Continue ReadingWe 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.
Brownsburg @ Pike
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 Dezhon Hall Dezhon Hall 6'3" | PG Pike | 2026 State IN along with junior guard Damon Howard Damon Howard 6'1" | PG Pike | 2025 State IN . Those two create one of the more dynamic backcourts in the Indianapolis area. Titus Hunter Titus Hunter 6'5" | PF Pike | 2025 State IN has had a strong start to the season as well. For Brownsburg, they will run out a talented backcourt duo as well of Grant Porath Grant Porath 6'1" | SG Brownsburg | 2024 State IN and Jordan Lomax Jordan Lomax 6'3" | SG Brownsburg | 2024 State IN . This game could come down which group of guards outplays the other.
Fort Wayne Snider @ Fort Wayne Wayne
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 Ketron Paschall Ketron Paschall 6'5" | SF Snider | 2027 State IN have each been excellent while junior guard Qualyn Clopton Qualyn Clopton 6'2" | SG Fort Wayne Snider | 2025 State IN 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. Jevon Lewis Jevon Lewis 5'9" | PG Fort Wayne Wayne | 2024 State IN , Chase Barnes Chase Barnes 6'1" | PG Fort Wayne Wayne | 2025 State #355 Nation IN , and Khalyn Williams-Thomas Khalyn Williams-Thomas 5'11" | PG Fort Wayne Wayne | 2025 State IN create one of the best backcourts in the state while Trey Dillard Trey Dillard 6'5" | PF Fort Wayne Wayne | 2025 State IN and Preston Comer Preston Comer 6'4" | SF Fort Wayne Wayne | 2025 State IN man the front court.
Noblesville @ Carmel
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 Aaron Fine Aaron Fine 6'3" | PG Noblesville | 2024 State IN , senior wing Hunter Walston Hunter Walston 6'6" | SF Noblesvile | 2024 State IN , and sophomore guard Justin Curry II Justin Curry II 6'4" | SG Noblesville | 2026 State IN . As for the Greyhounds, they have improved to 2-1 with back-to-back wins over Lawrence Central and Plainfield. Junior guard Alex Couto leads the way while 6’7″ sophomore forward Evan Harrell Evan Harrell 6'8" | PF Carmel | 2026 State IN is one to watch as well.
Princeton @ Evansville Bosse
Jace 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 Edwin Holmes Edwin Holmes 6'5" | SF Princeton | 2026 State IN is a tough matchup for opponents and could be an X-Factor in this one against Bosse. The Bulldogs feature dynamic guard Taray Howell Taray Howell 5'8" | PG Evansville Bosse | 2024 State IN 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.
Scottsburg @ Brownstown Central
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 Jack Benter Jack Benter 6'4" | SG Brownstown Central | 2024 State #121 Nation IN 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 Jack Miller Jack Miller 6'5" | SG Scottsburg | 2024 State IN , Kody Clancy Kody Clancy 6'4" | PG Scottsburg | 2024 State IN , and Wyatt Zellers. Brownstown will counter with Benter, Colby Hall Colby Hall 6'6" | PF Brownstown Central | 2025 State IN , Chace Coomer Chace Coomer 6'5" | SG Brownstown Central | 2025 State IN , and Parker Hehman Parker Hehman 6'0" | PG Brownstown Central | 2024 IN . This is going to be a fun one.
