Prep Hoops Indiana: Kyler’s Holiday Tournament Standouts (12/28)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week in the great state of Indiana, many boys high school basketball teams participated in a host of different holiday tournaments all the way from the northern part to the southern part. Prep Hoops Indiana has been on the road as well as streaming pretty much every major holiday tournament there is to watch. With that said, let's take a look at some standout player that I watched throughout Saturday's portion of the holiday tournaments.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297088"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677054170a0c8"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Finished with 25 points</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>South Bend Riley beat Pike 71-67 in the North Central Classic.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Every time I watch this senior guard, he just impacts the game in so many ways. Pike, although they were probably the more talented team, just had no answers for Schindler. He was once again making plays in the lane and knocking down impressive outside jumpers. Small schools really need to secure this kid. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194328"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677054170a147"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Finished with 22 points</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>South Bend Riley beat Pike 71-67 in the North Central Classic.</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='2194328' first='Jahari' last='Miller'] is going to be a very special player before his high school career is all said and done. He started off making some smooth plays in the lane but then really exploded once his outside jumper started flowing. When Pike was down as much as 16 points, it was the sophomore wing that put the Red Devils on his back. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2391213"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677054170a18f"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Finished with 18 points</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Fishers beat Warsaw 54-51 in the Hall of Fame Classic</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>A unknown player in the in-state 2025 class, Martin made his presence known in this game vs Fishers. Martin stood out to me as a strong wing that made plays both inside and outside. Really popped off in the second half and was the guy that pushed the run that Warsaw got on that almost won them the game. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1529288"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-677054170a1d1"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Finished with 21 points</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Fishers beat Warsaw 54-51 in the Hall of Fame Classic</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Finlinson was probably the most consistent player on the floor for Warsaw in the morning games of the Hall of Fame Classic. A taller guard, Finlinson made his mark behind the arc this game knocking down multiple threes.

In Reitz's impressive win over the Carmel Greyhounds, Mitchell did a great job of being that go-to scorer when needed. He did a great job of taking his defender 1v1 and either scoring or drawing contact.

Couto is one of the better floor generals we have in the state and that is what he showed today. He defended very well today too and made some tough plays. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
