Prep Hoops Indiana Daily (1/17) – Wednesday Night Recap

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There wasn't a ton of action around the state of Indiana on Wednesday night, but that does keep us at Prep Hoops Indiana from having content to churn out. A Top 5 Class 4A battled headlined the evening as well as two other high-profile matchups that combined for three total overtime periods. Let's take a quick look at some of the top games from a light Wednesday state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Westfield Remains Undefeated</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The game of the night was taking place on the north side of the greater Indianapolis area on Wednesday night as Class 4A #3 Westfield put their 10-0 undefeated record on the line against Class 4A #4 Noblesville who was 12-1. Despite playing on the road, Westfield was able to come away victorious and move to 11-0 on the season with a hard-fought 58-54 victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1275749' first='Trey' last='Buchanan'] led the Shamrocks with 15 points while [player_tooltip player_id='2277794' first='Will' last='Harvey'] chipped in 14 points and [player_tooltip player_id='2079499' first='Nic' last='Book'] finished with 13 points and 8 rebounds.

Wednesday evening's 66-52 win over Illiana Christian improved their overall record to 10-6, but their only losses to teams from the Hoosier state are against Class 4A Top 10 Cathedral and Class 4A Top 20 Valparaiso. That is why the Warriors have remained within the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 3A Top 10 consistently this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DeMarcious Royster led the way with 17 points in the win over Illiana Christian while fellow seniors [player_tooltip player_id='1547487' first='Amauri' last='Moore'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2282450' first='Caleb' last='Parks'] added 16 points and 15 points respectively. Khalel Johnson chipped in 9 points and point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1157213' first='Jaedin' last='Reyna'] finished with 7 points and 8 assists. This team will not be an easy out come tournament time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Penn Defeats Northridge in OT</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Kingsmen held Northridge scoreless in overtime to pick up a 57-49 win to improve to 9-3 on the season.
