Tuesday Night Games to Watch (12/19)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are coming up on the time of year where holiday tournaments take over the schedule. There will be a few before Christmas, but then it really gets heavy in the week following Christmas. For us at Prep Hoops Indiana that means an opportunity to see dozens of games in the span of just a couple of days. This evening though is still your typical Tuesday night slate. Let's take a look at five of the best games to watch around the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Franklin Central @ Pike</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both of these teams have proven to be dangerous early on this season. Franklin Central and Pike have each knocked off Brownsburg, but otherwise have struggled to find their footing. The Flashes enter tonight's matchup with a 2-5 record while the Red Devils sit a 3-3. Two of the top Class of 2026 prospects in the state will be going head-to-head in this one as sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='1560945' first='Dezhon' last='Hall'] takes on his [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] teammate from last summer EJ Hazelett. [player_tooltip player_id='1297011' first='Damon' last='Howard'], [player_tooltip player_id='1547566' first='Coryell' last='Spates'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1539290' first='Titus' last='Hunter'] have all had strong starts to this season for Pike as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Crispus Attucks @ Lawrence North</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you are simply looking for the best game in Indiana this will be your answer on Tuesday night. #7 ranked Crispus Attucks travel to take on undefeated #1 ranked Lawerence North. There will certainly be no shortage of talent in this one as the Wildcats feature the backcourt duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1296979' first='Azavier' last='Robinson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1158213' first='Kobi' last='Bowles'] while sophomore forwards [player_tooltip player_id='1729136' first='Brennan' last='Miller'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2252564' first='Kai' last='McGrew'] hold it down in the front court. Those two will have a chance to bang around with junior [player_tooltip player_id='1297019' first='Dezmon' last='Briscoe'] inside while University of Indianapolis signee [player_tooltip player_id='1275771' first='Ron' last='Rutland III'] leads Attucks on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lake Central @ Munster</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For fans up in the Region this will be the one to circle on the schedule. Lake Central is out to a 6-0 start led by senior guards Cameron Thompson and [player_tooltip player_id='1150969' first='Dorien' last='Beatty']. 6'6" senior forward [player_tooltip player_id='1547565' first='Jake' last='Smith'] gives them a talented interior presence as well. Winning at Munster is never an easy task though and the Mustangs will feature Spring Arbor commit [player_tooltip player_id='1275808' first='David' last='Cundiff'] alongside [player_tooltip player_id='1384419' first='Nolan' last='Kinsella'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1384395' first='Jermaine' last='Coney']. This will be a final test for the Indians before they head down to the North Central Tournament to face Pike and Park Tudor next week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wapahani @ Frankton</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Class 2A battle will feature the 5-2 Eagles of Frankton against #4 ranked Wapahani who enters with a 7-0 record. The Raiders are winning by an average of nearly 30 points per game as well led by senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1158181' first='Isaac' last='Andrews'] who is making his case for potential Indiana All-Star status. He is averaging 25.9 points per game to go along with 8.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Andrews is 28-63 from three-point range already as well. Sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='1561131' first='Camden' last='Bell'] adds 13.9 points per game for Wapahani.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Warsaw @ Carroll (Fort Wayne)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Warsaw is fresh off of an 86-45 beatdown of South Bend Washington at last weekend's Champions of Character Classic. [player_tooltip player_id='1578460' first='Robbie' last='Finlinson'] was the star of that victory, but 6'8" Olivet Nazarene bound [player_tooltip player_id='1547537' first='Luke' last='Yeager'] and a balanced attack of Tigers have helped lead Coach Matt Moore's group to a 4-2 record. Meanwhile, Carroll has been led by their three-headed monster of [player_tooltip player_id='1525665' first='Jaiyre' last='Sampson'], Bowling Green signee [player_tooltip player_id='1158216' first='Jaxon' last='Pardon'], and Grace signee [player_tooltip player_id='1270990' first='Cannen' last='Houser']. This should be a fun one to watch in Fort Wayne on Tuesday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
