<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holiday tournaments are just around the corner, but for the most part, aside from Saturday's FORUM Tipoff Classic, this will be a typical weekend across the Indiana High School Basketball scene. Prep Hoops Indiana will have boots on the ground coverage from Westfield High School on Friday night as the Shamrocks take on Guerin Catholic. Meanwhile, as always, we will have eyes and ears in gyms all across the state to bring you the best coverage possible.
