We also will be your one stop shop after the games go final later this evening for all the news and notes from around the state. Let’s dive right in and highlight five of the best games taking place on Friday night.
Ben Davis @ Lawrence North
The team that has spent most of this season as the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 4A #1 ranked team against last’ season’s Class 4A undefeated state champions. Northwestern signee K.J. Windham K.J. Windham 6'3" | PG Ben Davis | 2024 State #137 Nation IN will look to prove that his Giants are still a legitimate contender. As for the Wildcats of Lawrence North, junior guard Azavier Robinson Azavier Robinson 6'1" | PG Lawrence North | 2025 State #88 Nation IN and senior running mate Kobi Bowles Kobi Bowles 6'2" | PG Lawrence North | 2024 State IN lead what is the best backcourt in the state of Indiana. The depth of Lawrence North, including sophomores Brennan Miller Brennan Miller 6'7" | PF Lawrence North | 2026 State IN and Kai McGrew Kai McGrew 6'8" Lawrence North | 2026 State IN inside, could be the difference in this one. There are a lot of really good options in the Indianapolis area, but this is certainly a great game to attend.
Chesterton @ Portage
If you are up in northern Indiana this evening this will be the game to circle for you. These Duneland Conference and Sectional 2 rivals will take the floor this evening featuring a lot of talent. Portage is 11-8 with junior Michael Wellman Michael Wellman 6'6" | SF Portage | 2025 State IN having an Indiana Junior All-Star caliber season averaging 13.2 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Senior forward Jaelyn Johnson Jaelyn Johnson 6'5" | PF Portage | 2024 State IN adds 10.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game while junior guard Garrett Clark Garrett Clark 6'4" | SG Portage | 2025 State IN is another name to know. Chesterton comes in at 11-7 featuring two standout seniors in Tyler Parrish Tyler Parrish 6'3" | SG Chesterton | 2024 State IN and Marian commit Justin Sims Justin Sims 6'6" | PF Chesterton | 2024 State IN . Expect to see some Crossroads League coaches in the stands of this matchup doing some recruiting.
Cathedral @ Fishers
This Class 4A Top 10 battle will rival the Lawrence North vs. Ben Davis game for supremacy in the Indianapolis area this evening. Fishers has a pair of impressive wins over Westfield and Homewood-Flossmoor out of Illinois to get back on track following their upset loss against Carmel. The Tigers are 18-1 on the season led by unsigned senior forward Keenan Garner Keenan Garner 6'6" | PF Fishers | 2024 State IN . Meanwhile, Cathedral is 13-3 featuring 6’8″ junior wing Brady Koehler Brady Koehler 6'9" | SF Cathedral | 2025 State #199 Nation IN who has had a fantastic season. Look for sophomore wing Keaton Aldridge Jr Keaton Aldridge Jr 6'4" | SF Cathedral | 2026 State IN . to be a potential X-Factor in this one for the Irish, but Tigers depth of talent is hard to handle.
Jeffersonville @ Center Grove
For those fans on the south side of Indianapolis you’ll want to make your way to Center Grove High School to watch them take on Jeffersonville. The Trojans have rattled off seven straight wins and have won 10 of their last 11 games. They absolutely deserve to be considered a legitimate threat in Class 4A at this point. Senior guard Joey Schmitz Joey Schmitz 6'2" | PG Center Grove | 2024 State IN is having an outstanding season while classmate Will Spellman Will Spellman 6'6" | PF Center Grove | 2024 State IN holds things down on the interior. Coach Hahn has a veteran, deep team with a lot of talent. Jeffersonville is playing their best basketball of the season as well having won four straight and six of their last seven. Juniors Tre Singleton Tre Singleton 6'7" | PF Jeffersonville | 2025 State #225 Nation IN , Michael Cooper Michael Cooper 6'2" | PG Jeffersonville | 2025 State IN , and P.J. Douglas P.J. Douglas 6'4" | SF Jeffersonville | 2025 State IN are the headliners for the Red Devils.
Kokomo @ Richmond
A good, old-fashioned North Central Conference matchup will take place this evening at the Tiernan Center. Cedric Horton Cedric Horton 6'4" | SG Richmond | 2025 State #321 Nation IN , Mason Carpenter Mason Carpenter 6'2" | PG Richmond | 2025 State IN , and Braiden Hogg Braiden Hogg 6'1" | PG Richmond | 2024 State IN continue to lead Richmond to an outstanding season even while they are missing Ryder Cate Ryder Cate 6'3" | SF Richmond | 2024 State IN due to an injury. They are 18-2 on the season. Meanwhile, Kokomo has taken over the #1 ranking in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 4A Poll after winning eight straight to improve to 17-3. Obviously Kansas signee Flory Bidunga Flory Bidunga 6'9" | C Kokomo | 2024 State #7 Nation IN is the headliner, but fellow senior forward Karson Rogers Karson Rogers 6'6" | PF Kokomo | 2024 State IN has had an excellent season as well. This will be a heck of a matchup in east central Indiana this evening.
