3 Teams
Mount Vernon Fortville (4A) – When you have the favorite to win Indiana Mr. Basketball on your team, you are almost always going to taken advantage of the benefits of that and that is certainly what MVF has done this season. Being led by Purdue signee

and his 25.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game, MVF is 16-2 so far this season and have won their last 8 games. MFV has also gotten strong contributions from players such as

Gibson Southern (3A) – Seems like every week there has been a new Class 3A team to enter their name in the race and the most recent team to start to stand out is Gibson Southern. The Titans are 11-4 on the season and have won their last three games, which includes a great win over Evansville Bosse. For the Titans, it is junior guard

with 12.9 points. Keep a close on Gibson Southern as the season progresses, starting with their games vs Boonville, Southridge, and Tell City this week.
Park Tudor (2A) – The Panthers of Park Tudor have been on a roll as of late which has started to make them a legit threat when it comes to the Class 2A race. Having won their last 5 of 6 games, the Panthers are 9-5 on the season with likely more wins coming their way. Guys like

3 Matchups
Terre Haute North (4A) at Plainfield (4A) - Feb 5th, 7:30
One of the top matchups in all of class 4A this week will be on Thursday night when the Terre Haute North Patriots go on the road to face the Plainfield Quakers. Both of these teams are riding long winning streaks heading into this game something will have to give. The key matchup to watch in this one will be DePaul signee

Mishawaka Marian (3A) at South Bend Riley (4A) - Feb 3rd, 7:30
Up in the northern part of the state is very intriguing game between Mishawaka Marian going on the road to face South Bend Riley. The Knights of MM will enter this game with a 5 game winning streak but this will be one of the tougher games they have remaining with how well South Ben Riley has been playing led by senior guard

Sullivan (2A) at Bloomfield (1A) - Feb 7th, 7:30
Down in southern Indiana is a game featuring two of the best Class 2A and 1A teams in the state. The Sullivan Golden Arrows will go on the road to face Bloomfield Cardinals on Saturday night. Of course, the most important matchup to watch in this one is
