Six Standouts From Wednesday Night

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This week is an unconventional one on the boy's side due to girl's Sectional action. Therefore, there were very light slates on Tuesday and Wednesday night. That didn't keep Prep Hoops Indiana from getting out and having boots on the ground coverage from a potential preview of a deciding matchup in Class 2A Sectional 39 between Tipton and Lapel. We will highlight some of the stars from that game as well as the other action from around the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297029"],"_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-67a4dca87a7f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Carpenter was feeling it from beyond the arc in the second quarter connecting on three of his four first half triples to give Tipton a one-point lead at the halftime break. However, Lapel stuck to their game plan with a packed in 2-3 Zone defense to contain Carpenter's penetration and kept him from making plays for his teammates like he typically does. The 6'5" Grace College signee finished with 24 points and 7 rebounds, but the Blue Devils fell to Lapel 52-45.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1139937"],"_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-67a4dca87a864"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The game flipped in the fourth quarter when Craig got hot from the perimeter. After an early bucket to begin the period, Lapel's point guard capped off a 14-3 surge with a three-point shot that put the Bulldogs on top 41-36. They would never look back from there. Craig finished with 12 points, nine of which came in the final eight minutes to lead Lapel to the 52-45 victory at Tipton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1530978"],"_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-67a4dca87a8aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Both Judge twins, Bode and Brode, committed in January to play at Olivet Nazarene. Bode, the 6'6" forward of the dynamic duo, finished with 10 points and 7 rebounds in Lapel's 52-45 win over Tipton on Tuesday night. His strength on the block is tough to handle and he has a nose for the ball on the glass. Look for both brothers to go on to have successful college basketball careers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1381459"],"_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-67a4dca87a8eb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tipton was obviously keying on this 6'5" guard out on the perimeter and tried to do their best to take him away. However, anytime [player_tooltip player_id='1381459' first='Brode' last='Judge'] had the slightest of openings he would make the Blue Devils pay. Judge finished with five three-point shots on the game and a team-leading 18 points as the Bulldogs defeated Tipton 52-45. He is committed to Olivet Nazarene.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1539758"],"_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-67a4dca87a937"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of a handful of solid seniors for the Homestead Spartans, Raudenbush played an excellent game on Wednesday night to lift Homestead over Columbia City 51-40. The 6'4" wing led all scorers with 16 points which including knocking down a couple of first half three-point shots, using his size to score around the basket, and converting some clutch free throws.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Gavin Saunders","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Hamilton Heights","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67a4dca87a9d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This 6'3" senior guard at Hamilton Heights High School has been having an excellent season. He entered Wednesday night's contest averaging 17.5 points and shooting 42-92 (45.7%) from three-point range. However, he took things to another level in a 97-53 win over KIPP Indy Legacy. Saunders connected on 6 of 10 three-point attempts and scored 51 points in the contest. That will certainly turn some heads across the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
