Prep Hoops Indiana Regional Preview – Class 4A North

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week there were 404 teams across four classes that began their journey to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Now, a week later, only 64 Sectional champions are still alive. That group will be cut in half once again following Saturday's Regional round. We will spend this week here at Prep Hoops Indiana previewing the upcoming Regional games. Let's dive on in and take a closer look at the Class 4A North.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Pairings</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Michigan City Regional:</strong> Chesterton (22-4) vs. Crown Point (22-1)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Plymouth Regional:</strong> Northridge (24-1) vs. South Bend St. Joseph (21-4)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>New Castle Regional:</strong> Fort Wayne Snider (19-7) vs. Carmel (18-5)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Logansport Regional:</strong> Harrison (West Lafayette) (18-8) vs. Homestead (19-6)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best Regional Matchup - Plymouth Regional</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Regional up at Plymouth High School will feature Prep Hoops Indiana Class 4A #6 South Bend St. Joseph against #8 Northridge. These two teams did not meet in the regular season. South Bend St. Joseph is led by Notre Dame signee [player_tooltip player_id='2024513' first='Nick' last='Shrewsberry'] and likely Indiana Junior All-Star [player_tooltip player_id='2140359' first='Elijah' last='King']. Meanwhile, senior point guard [player_tooltip player_id='1560973' first='Ethan' last='Roseman'] is fighting through an injury to play through the state tournament. As for Northridge, who has lost just once this season and avenged that loss in the Sectional, Indiana Wesleyan signee [player_tooltip player_id='2398995' first='Brady' last='Scholl'] is their star. How SBSJ handles the size of Scholl will go a long way towards dictating the outcome of this game. [player_tooltip player_id='1561089' first='Hayden' last='Johnson'], a Saint Francis signee, is one to watch on the perimeter for the Raiders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Under-the-Radar Regional Matchup - New Castle Regional</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It would have been easy to pick the Michigan City Regional, but this matchup is actually more compelling on paper. Carmel is coming off of a big upset victory over undefeated Fishers. However, point guard [player_tooltip player_id='2140341' first='Cash' last='Daniels'] will not be able to play after being ejected from the Sectional title game. That is a major blow to the Greyhounds' playmaking. 6'8" Bellarmine signee [player_tooltip player_id='1560952' first='Evan' last='Harrell'] will be a key difference-maker, but Fort Wayne Snider will have the talent and fire power to make it hard on Carmel. Unsigned senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1744397' first='Xavier' last='Wilson'], junior guard [player_tooltip player_id='2140449' first='Trell' last='Hogue'], and sophomore sharp-shooter [player_tooltip player_id='2416898' first='Chance' last='DeRossett'] are three names to know for the Panthers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Players to Watch</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2141040' first='Brody' last='Baker'] (Harrison West Lafayette H.S. 2027), [player_tooltip player_id='2878216' first='Bradley' last='Basila'] (Chesterton H.S. 2028), [player_tooltip player_id='2054869' first='Jake' last='Coolman'] (Homestead H.S. 2027), [player_tooltip player_id='1561445' first='Mason' last='Darrell'] (Crown Point H.S. 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='1560952' first='Evan' last='Harrell'] (Carmel H.S. 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='2140449' first='Trell' last='Hogue'] (Fort Wayne H.S. 2027), [player_tooltip player_id='2140359' first='Elijah' last='King'] (South Bend St. Joseph H.S. 2027), [player_tooltip player_id='1989437' first='Logan' last='Pokorney'] (Chesterton H.S. 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='1560973' first='Ethan' last='Roseman'] (South Bend St. Joseph H.S. 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='2398995' first='Brady' last='Scholl'] (Northridge H.S. 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='1561617' first='Dikembe' last='Shaw'] (Crown Point H.S. 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='2024513' first='Nick' last='Shrewsberry'] (South Bend St. Joseph H.S. 2026), [player_tooltip player_id='2932419' first='Mack' last='Welker'] (Homestead H.S. 2027), [player_tooltip player_id='1744397' first='Xavier' last='Wilson'] (Fort Wayne Snider H.S. 2026)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Staff Predictions</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Michigan City Regional - Crown Point</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Plymouth Regional - South Bend St. Joseph</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Castle Regional - Carmel</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Logansport Regional - Homestead</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
