Below is our watchlist and the tournament schedule.   <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><th>DATE</th><th>GM</th><th colspan="5">SCHEDULE (EASTERN TIME)</th><th>SITE</th><th>ROUND</th></tr><tr><td>Jan. 2</td><td>1</td><td>Fort Wayne Wayne </td><td>at</td><td>Fishers </td><td colspan="2">10:30 am</td><td>Fishers</td><td>R1</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 2</td><td>2</td><td>Evansville North </td><td>vs</td><td>Chesterton</td><td colspan="2">12:15 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>R1</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 2</td><td>3</td><td>Evansville Bosse </td><td>vs</td><td>Columbus North </td><td colspan="2">2:00 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>R1</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 2</td><td>4</td><td>New Albany </td><td>vs</td><td>Lawrence Central </td><td colspan="2">3:45 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>R1</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 2</td><td>5</td><td>Loser Game 2</td><td>vs</td><td>Loser Game 1</td><td colspan="2">5:30 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>Con</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 2</td><td>6</td><td>Loser Game 4</td><td>vs</td><td>Loser Game 3</td><td colspan="2">7:15 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>Con</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 3</td><td>7</td><td>Winner Game 2</td><td>vs</td><td>Winner Game 1</td><td colspan="2">10:30 am</td><td>Fishers</td><td>SF</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 3</td><td>8</td><td>Winner Game 4</td><td>vs</td><td>Winner Game 3</td><td colspan="2">12:15 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>SF</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 3</td><td>9</td><td>Loser Game 6</td><td>vs</td><td>Loser Game 5</td><td colspan="2">2:00 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>7th</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 3</td><td>10</td><td>Winner Game 6</td><td>vs</td><td>Winner Game 5</td><td colspan="2">3:45 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>5th</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 3</td><td>11</td><td>Loser Game 8</td><td>vs</td><td>Loser Game 7</td><td colspan="2">5:30 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>3rd</td></tr><tr><td>Jan. 3</td><td>12</td><td>Winner Game 8</td><td>vs</td><td>Winner Game 7</td><td colspan="2">7:15 pm</td><td>Fishers</td><td>1st</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>    The injury to [player_tooltip player_id='2194415' first='Jason' last='Gardner'] Jr was for sure a hit to the Fishers tigers but on the bright side, it has allowed opportunity for other players to step up for the time-being. One of those players that could take advantage of this opportunity is senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2272212' first='Torey' last='Breland']. Breland has been pretty solid as a starter for the Tigers averaging 3.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. He is an under-the-radar, athletic guard that plays with a high motor and competes on the defensive end.     One of the top players on this waitlist ahead of the Fishers Tournament is the leading many at Fort Wayne Wayne, senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2252552' first='Lashawn' last='Green']. Green, who is listed at at 6'2, is leading FWW in point averaging 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game. He is one of the top uncommitted guards we have in the state who is just an explosive athlete in the lane and around the rim. He will be one of the more impressive players in gym this weekend.     An under-the-radar junior to keep an eye on this weekend is Evansville North prospect [player_tooltip player_id='2140367' first='Greg' last='Pieterek']. One of the leading scorers for the Huskies at 10.8 points per game, Pieterek is a combo guard that plays tough and physical on both ends of the floor. He is more natural on the ball but has shown flashes of being a playmaker off of it. He will be one of the more aggressive players in the gym at the Fishers Tournament.     One of the better big men that will be at the Fishers Tournament this weekend comes from Chesterton High School, Cadem Schneider. A big man at 6'7, Schneider is a x-factor of a player for Chesterton and has had a real strong start to this season for them. Schneider also has some underrated versatility to his game being a frontcourt prospect that can stretch the floor and shoot the ball off the catch. Just a lot of production from Schneider at all times.     The one and only freshman that is on the watchlist comes from Evansville Bosse High School, versatile forward [player_tooltip player_id='3219910' first='Ethan' last='Hampton']. One of the few freshman prospects that is getting true varsity time, Hampton is a long and lanky prospect that has some sneaky athleticism and bounce to his game. Hampton has the ability to stretch the floor while also using his size and length well around the basket when mismatches present themselves. He will do some good things at the Fishers Tournament.     An under-the-radar senior guard that will be participating in the Fihsers Tournament is Columbus North's [player_tooltip player_id='2399377' first='Caleb' last='Ferguson']. The 6'1 point guard will be one of the more productive players out of all 8 teams in this tournament being a guy that can score and facilitate. With a couple of offers from schools such as Taylor and Trinity Christian, he is a small college program's dream of an on-ball guard. Keep and eye on this underrated playmaker.     The New Albany Bulldogs have some real promising prospects on there young roster with the [player_tooltip player_id='2382148' first='Noah' last='Washington'] obviously being the big name out of the group. A junior prospect that has started to breakout a little bit is wing [player_tooltip player_id='2831119' first='Seth' last='Winslow II']. Winslow has had a few big games for the Bulldogs this season due to his solid versatility as a player. Winslow is a great defender, rebounds on both ends at a high level, and knows how to get to the basket on the drive. Underrated prospect out of New Albany.     The highest rated player on this watchlist that also feels like he has not gotten enough attention on a bigger scale is Lawrence North junior win Caleb Well. Maybe it is because he recently moved back into the state before the season got underway, but Wells is a prospect that has some of the highest potential out of any player in the state. He is averaging 14.0 points per game scoring both on the inside and outside at a very high level. He will be one of the few D1 prospects in the gym at the Fishers Tournament.
