Fishers is building an absolutely incredible resume on the back of two straight outstanding seasons. However, Crown Point hasn't tripped up yet making it hard for us to move them off of the top spot that we bestowed upon them in the preseason. Lawrence North is starting to knock on the door as well after winning the Marion County Tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Silver Creek climbed to #5 this week following two more dominant victories. Their only loss is to #1 Crown Point. The Dragons will host #10 New Albany on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The bottom of this poll was very difficult to fill out this week. All of the teams ranked #13-#20 especially have some flaws, but sometimes you have to start to excuse a slip up along the way. Northridge has the loss to Goshen but otherwise has a strong resume. Terre Haute North is playing their best basketball of the season, but have some losses from earlier in the year. Portage will get their big test of the season on February 5th at Crown Point. They deserve to be in the Top 20 now with their 13-0 record. Homestead is coming off of a weird loss to Fort Wayne Snider, but their overall body of work is still pretty impressive. The inclusion of Oak Hill and Northview isn't easy, but the 4A teams in consideration have losses to teams that likely aren't as good as either of those two programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carmel will host Pike on Friday in what will likely be the game of the week. Lawrence North is at Plainfield on Tuesday night which is a massive matchup as well. Penn at Northridge is a big time game on Tuesday night in northern Indiana. Homestead hosts Class 3A #4 Columbia City on Tuesday evening. We will be keep a close eye on all of these matchups.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
