Prep Hoops Indiana Tuesday Night Games to Watch (1/6)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The last couple of weeks have been insanely busy with holiday tournaments, showcase events, and multiple games to cover per day. We are back to normal this week, but Prep Hoops Indiana certainly isn't taking any time off. On Tuesday evening our staff will have boots on the ground coverage from three different games. Logan Greenwell will be attending Evansville Mater Dei at Evansville Harrison, Kyler Staley is covering North Central at Hamilton Southeastern, and I'll be taking in Pike at Noblesville. However, we will also have eyes and ears in gyms all across the state to provide the best border-to-border coverage possible. Here are previews of five of the biggest games we will be keeping tabs on on Tuesday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Brownstown Central @ Barr-Reeve</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Indiana Class 1A #2 Barr-Reeve is off to a 9-0 start to their season. They are a program that seemingly just reloads every single year. Sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='3148411' first='Jaylon' last='Graber'] leading the Vikings in scoring at 14.3 points per game. Junior wing [player_tooltip player_id='3045017' first='Kierson' last='Lengacher'] and sophomore forward [player_tooltip player_id='2797665' first='Braxton' last='Neidigh'] are also in double figures at 12.1 points and 10.1 points per game respectively. This team is certainly set up for the future, as well as the present, as their top six scorers are all sophomores or juniors. Brownstown Central is no stranger to reloading either. The Braves, led by unsigned senior wing [player_tooltip player_id='2813503' first='Lane' last='Pendleton'] are 5-2 on the season. This will be a fun matchup to watch down in southwestern Indiana.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fairfield @ Goshen</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Did you know these two teams were undefeated? Probably not. Goshen is off to a 7-0 start which includes an impressive win over Northridge. Unsigned senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2837828' first='Levi' last='Sawatzky'] is the star for the Redhawks averaging 20.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. He has made 22 three-point shots in seven games. Senior point guard Braxton Cline adds 13.1 points and a team-high 5.3 assists while senior forward Karter Marcum averages 7.7 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. Fairfield's 6-0 has been led by their defense. The Falcons allow just 38.8 points per game which is 13th best in the state. Senior Brant Graber is one to watch for Fairfield.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Haven @ Fort Wayne Snider</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This will be the game to watch this evening in the Fort Wayne area. Snider has had an up-and-down season, but have won three of their last four coming out of the Bob Wettig Memorial Tournament. Talented junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2140449' first='Trell' last='Hogue'] has missed some time for the Panthers, but unsigned senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1744397' first='Xavier' last='Wilson'] has been excellent averaging 15.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. 6'5" junior forward [player_tooltip player_id='2140409' first='Ketron' last='Paschall'] adds 10.1 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. Sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='2416898' first='Chance' last='DeRossett'] is 21-45 (46.7%) from three-point range while averaging 8.2 points per game as well. For 8-2 New Haven, juniors Tarvar Baskerville and [player_tooltip player_id='2837232' first='Lavell' last='Ledbetter'], along with senior [player_tooltip player_id='2892459' first='Jadrien' last='Ezell'], lead a balanced scoring attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pike @ Noblesville</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a big week for the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 4A #3 Pike Red Devils. They will put their seven-game winning streak to the test with trips to #9 Noblesville and #2 Fishers. However, the Millers will likely be without Valparaiso signee and leading scorer [player_tooltip player_id='1534261' first='Justin' last='Curry II'] who suffered a knee injury against Warren Central last Friday. Butler signee [player_tooltip player_id='1561054' first='Baron' last='Walker'] and Wabash College commit [player_tooltip player_id='1561049' first='Max' last='Flanagan'] will look to pick up the slack, but it will be a tall task against an incredibly talented Pike team. The Red Devils feature a trio of nationally ranked Class of 2027 prospects. 6'10" forward [player_tooltip player_id='2266896' first='Isaiah' last='Hill'] is ranked #26, 6'2" guard [player_tooltip player_id='2194328' first='Jahari' last='Miller'] is #86, and 6'6" wing [player_tooltip player_id='2266897' first='Kenneth' last='Lampley'] III is #106. Meanwhile, 6'6" sophomore guard [player_tooltip player_id='2538892' first='Landon' last='Lampley'] is #50 in the Class of 2028. Prep Hoops Indiana's Brandon Ramsey will have boots on the ground coverage of this matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">University @ Brebeuf Jesuit</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Trailblazers of University have rattled off four straight wins to move to 7-2 on the season. Ranked #9 in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 2A Poll, features a balanced scoring attack with four players in double-figures. 6'6" junior forward [player_tooltip player_id='2887162' first='Joshua' last='Henderson'] leads University averaging 15.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. Then, there is their senior trio in the backcourt. [player_tooltip player_id='1282878' first='Blake' last='Gray'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2630646' first='Faisal' last='Mohamud'] average 13.3 and 13.2 points per game respectively while [player_tooltip player_id='1560954' first='Josh' last='McGee'] adds 10.8 points per game. As for Brebeuf Jesuit, their strength lies in the backcourt as well. Wabash College commit [player_tooltip player_id='1561106' first='Austin' last='Ford'] averages 12.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. [player_tooltip player_id='2140342' first='Chace' last='Ford'], a junior guard, adds 12.4 points per game while [player_tooltip player_id='2886224' first='Dylan' last='Logan'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2141016' first='Jayden' last='Washington'] are also in double-figures. This will be a fun, potentially high-scoring matchup in the Indianapolis area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
