Sunday Night Notebook – Leftover From the Weekend

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It was a busy weekend across the state with a handful of upsets, undefeated teams taking their first losses, standout individual performances, and much more. As always, Prep Hoops Indiana had boots on the ground at some games while keep eyes and ears in gyms all across the state to provide the best coverage possible. Let's highlight some of the leftovers from the weekend that we haven't been able to touch on yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>South Bend Washington is a very talented team featuring Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2026 #1 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1561449' first='Steven' last='Reynolds III']. However, see them knock off Class 4A #2 Crown Point on Saturday night was certainly a surprise. Reynolds III and sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='2140346' first='Dakori' last='Parker'] each scored 17 points to lead the Panthers to a 68-64 win. The loss was Crown Point's first of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2306918' first='Vince' last='Moutardier'] had a big night for Bloomington South scoring 27 points as the Panthers knocked off Silver Creek 73-63. Don't look now, but Coach J.R. Holmes and Bloomington South have won seven straight games to improve to 13-6 on the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fort Wayne seems to always provide some chaos throughout the high school basketball season. On Friday night, Fort Wayne Wayne defeated Prep Hoops Indiana Class 2A #1 Bishop Luers 74-66. That result would have seemed to have crowned the Generals as the best in the city. However, they turned around and lost to Blackhawk Christian 56-52 on Saturday evening. Wright State signee [player_tooltip player_id='1364589' first='Kellen' last='Pickett'] finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 blocked shots to lead the Braves. [player_tooltip player_id='2485632' first='Bryce' last='Sefton'] added 16 points and [player_tooltip player_id='1738845' first='Briggs' last='Pardon'] contributed 13 points. [player_tooltip player_id='1297075' first='Khalyn' last='Williams-Thomas'] scored 20 points in the loss for Wayne.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After trailing by 12 points at the half, Columbus East came roaring back to defeat Bloomington North 56-47. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='2399375' first='Keaton' last='Lawson'] finished with 23 points for the Olympians.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is time to start discussing Fishers through a historical lens. Are they on par with 2018 Warren Central or 2023 Ben Davis that went undefeated and won Class 4A state championships? The Tigers are now 18-0 after demolishing Carmel 80-39 on Saturday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Butler signee [player_tooltip player_id='1296979' first='Azavier' last='Robinson'] scored 26 points and dished out 6 assists to lead Lawrence North over Hammond Morton 81-48.
