Prep Hoops Indiana Daily (2/6) – Tuesday Night Games to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After just one game was played on Monday night, Brownsburg dominated Notre Dame DeLaSallete out of Illinois 54-21, we are back with a full Tuesday night slate of Indiana High School Basketball this evening. Let's dive on in and highlight five of the best games to follow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Carroll (Fort Wayne) @ Fort Wayne North Side</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It has admittedly been a bit of a disappointing season for the Chargers. After improving from two wins in 2021-2022 to a 12-11 record a year ago, Carroll is just 7-11 this time around despite featuring Bowling Green signee [player_tooltip player_id='1158216' first='Jaxon' last='Pardon'], Grace bound [player_tooltip player_id='1270990' first='Cannen' last='Houser'], and junior guard Jayire Sampson. However, that level of talent still gives them a puncher's chance every time they step on the floor. This evening they will go against 12-6 North Side led by unsigned seniors [player_tooltip player_id='1547392' first='Jaxson' last='Fugate'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1578389' first='Eugene' last='Young Jr']. If you are in the Fort Wayne area this will be the game you'll want to attend this evening.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Center Grove @ Zionsville</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Trojans of Center Grove are on a roll of late having won six straight to improve to 12-4 on the season. Seniors [player_tooltip player_id='1158238' first='Joey' last='Schmitz'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1547488' first='Will' last='Spellman'] continue to lead the way for a talented, deep roster. As for Zionsville, they are led by junior duo [player_tooltip player_id='1525678' first='Maguire' last='Mitchell'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1525679' first='Drew' last='Snively']. The Eagles had won three straight before losing on Saturday to defending state champion Ben Davis. This will be an intriguing matchup this evening between two teams that are flying a bit under the radar in the greater Indianapolis area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fort Wayne Snider @ Blackhawk Christian</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've already deemed North Side vs. Carroll the game of the night in Fort Wayne, but this will be a close second. Blackhawk Christian comes in ranked #7 in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 2A Poll with a 13-5 record. They are led by 6'8" junior forward [player_tooltip player_id='1364589' first='Kellen' last='Pickett'] and sharp-shooting senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1277730' first='Isaac' last='Smith']. Fort Wayne Snider has rather quietly built an 11-8 record on the back of some very talented young players. Two of their three top scorers, [player_tooltip player_id='2140449' first='Trell' last='Hogue'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2140409' first='Ketron' last='Paschall'], are freshmen. [player_tooltip player_id='1297103' first='Qualyn' last='Clopton'] leads the Panthers averaging 11.2 points per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lake Central @ East Chicago Central</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For Indiana High School Basketball fans up in The Region this is the game for you. East Chicago Central, who has quietly won eight straight to improve to 14-4 on the season will take on 14-2 Lake Central. 6'6" unsigned senior forward [player_tooltip player_id='1547565' first='Jake' last='Smith'] has played his way into Indiana All-Star consideration leading the Indians to a fantastic season. Meanwhile, junior wing [player_tooltip player_id='1297020' first='Dominique' last='Murphy Jr'] averages 20.9 points and 9.7 rebounds per game for the Cardinals and is one of the best prospects in the area. Senior guard Jemeil Rich Jr is having a strong season as well averaging 14.1 points per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Springs Valley @ Paoli</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This will be a great one for fans down in southern Indiana to take in this evening. These rival programs each feature one of the best Class of 2025 prospects in the area. Paoli, sitting at 12-3 on the season, is led by high-scoring junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1297025' first='Fletcher' last='Cole']. On the opposite sideline, junior wing [player_tooltip player_id='1297013' first='Deion' last='Edwards'] averages 24.3 points and 8.1 rebounds per game for the 12-6 Blackhawks. Edwards recently scored 56 points in a game to break Larry Bird's school record. Expect a good battle between Cole and Edwards tonight.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
