<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week 7 of the Indiana high school basketball is officially underway and we had a big slate of high school hoops going on last night in Indiana. Let us dive on in and take a look at some highlights of Tuesday's night of hoops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hamilton Southeastern gets BIG road win</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In one of the better games of the night, we got to see a big road win take place. The Hamilton Southeastern Royals went on the road to defeat the North Central Cougars 70-64 to snap a 4-game winning streak North Central was on. It was junior wing [player_tooltip player_id='1561009' first='Luke' last='Weemer'] that was the star of the night with his real impressive 18 points. Senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2056301' first='Braeden' last='Totton'] also contributed 13 points and 6 assists to help the Royals secure the win. With the win, HSE is now 7-5 on the year. They face Lawrence Central on Friday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Snider beats New Haven</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Up in the Fort Wayne area, we have a pretty good game between two underrated teams in both Class 4A and 3A.

Last night, the Cardinals got their 10th win of the year with a 64-49 win over Hammond Central. Of course, like it has been all season, it was the senior duo of [player_tooltip player_id='1297020' first='Dominique' last='Murphy Jr'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2390221' first='Yamauree' last='Wallace'] that led them in scoring. Murphy Jr had 24 points and Wallace had 19 points. On Saturday, East Central Chicago will host a very tough Portage squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
