<p class="text-gray-700">There is no doubt that Combs has the physical and athletic tools to compete at a high level. We had the chance to watch him play with his Midwest Basketball Club 3SSB team on Saturday afternoon and he definitely looked the part. The 6'5" forward from Bloomington South had a nice left-handed finish while running the floor in transition and drove it right from the wing for a physical finish as well. His ability to attack closeouts, use his size to finish inside, and rebound on both ends of the floor stood out in the game we watched. Look for him to continue to be a stock-rising prospect in Indiana's Class of 2027.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">An aggressive offensive player with good strength and body control off of the dribble, Daily was consistently playing with two feet in the paint for DixtinXion Black as we watched them lose a tough double overtime battle to [program_tooltip program_id='2075559' first='Indy' last='EBC'] on Sunday afternoon. The Linton High School prospect was one of the bright spots for [program_tooltip program_id='2076224' first='DistinXion' last=''] despite the loss not only showcasing his scoring ability when driving the basketball, but also some playmaking for his teammates. Tough two-way guard that can play on or off of the ball.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Hoopmatics struggled a bit in the game we watched on Saturday losing to Indiana Basketball Club - Fine. However, they did go on to win the tournament championship on Sunday. Macon was a bright spot in Saturday's defeat, and continued to play well on championship Sunday. The quick, playmaking guard from Pike High School consistently got to the rim off of the dribble and showed off a creative finishing package against larger defenders. He was under control in transition as well finding success as both a passer and downhill driver to score.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Spurgeon has flown under-the-radar coming into the spring after playing alongside two excellent seniors at Jimtown High School that are moving on to play at the college level. However, Spurgeon had a great season in his own right averaging 9.5 points and making 43 three-point shots while the Jimmies reached the Semi-State. Playing Region Elite, Spurgeon has continued to showcase himself as an excellent catch-and-shoot threat while also expanding his game as a playmaker. He was a bright spot for Region Elite despite a lopsided loss on Sunday afternoon.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">We've grown to really like Williams' size and strong frame on the perimeter. He has the ability to make defenders bounce off of him on the way to the rim and was a consistent matchup problem throughout the weekend while helping lead Hoopmatics to a tournament championship on Sunday. The Purdue Polytechnic guard had a big junior season and is definitely an under-the-radar name that college coaches should keep an eye on going into the summer months.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='2400093' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Tradition'] was a dominant force on Sunday afternoon when we went over to watch them play at Warren Central High School. A couple of Wright's teammates were really torching the nets, but this 6'1" guard was very impressive in his own right. He scored 9 of his 11 points in the second half showcasing his ability to attack the basketball off of a ballscreen. Wright was consistently getting paint touches off of the bounce and found success in transition as well. He finished a handful of tough layups at the rim and did a good job of drawing fouls to get to the line as well.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A talented scorer from Hamilton Southeastern High School, Young proved himself as a junior by putting up 11.8 points per game. He has continued his strong play into the spring with Indiana Basketball Club - Oldham and was an integral part of their impressive win over Midwest Basketball Club 3SSB on Saturday afternoon. His ability to stretch the defense as an outside shooting threat also opens up some driving lanes for him and he had success scoring the basketball from all levels in that high-level matchup. One to watch for small college programs heading into the summer months.</p>

With the Prep Hoops Circuit Havoc in the Heartland taking place between The Farmers Bank Fieldhouse in Lebanon and Westfield High School we obviously stayed plenty busy focusing our coverage around that event. However, as it ultimately is our job to cover the entire state to the best of our ability, Prep Hoops Indiana also had boots on the ground coverage for portions of two other evens from around the greater Indianapolis area. Here are a handful of the new names and stock-risers that we noticed from our limited amount of time spent at those events.
