Tuesday’s Daily Dive: 12/8

<p>Week 3 is underway and we have got a big slate of high school hoops going on this week in Indiana. Let us dive on in and take a look at some highlights of Tuesday’s night of hoops. </p> <p><b>Barr-Reeve beats Bloomington South      </b></p> <p>Last night saw a highly anticipated battle between 1A Barr-Reeve and 4A Bloomington South. Thanks to a couple of good performances from Barr-Reeve’s [player_tooltip player_id="783158" first="Curt" last="Hopf"] (16 pts) and [player_tooltip player_id="958397" first="Hagen" last="Knepp"] (12 pts), the Vikings were able to defeat the Panthers, 41-36. South’s stud forward [player_tooltip player_id="783201" first="Joseph" last="Bomba"] led his team with 27 points and played very well as normal. This was a big win for Barr-Reeve as they have had some delay with getting their season started. On the other end, though this may be a tough loss for South, they do have a chance to bounce back this Friday against Southport.         </p> <p><b>Leo beats Bishop Luers </b></p> <p>In a pretty good game, Leo was able to beat Bishop Luers, 57-51. This was Luers first game of the season and though they fought hard and had a great performance from [player_tooltip player_id="647205" first="Naylon" last="Thompson"] (17 pts, 8 rbs), they just did not have enough fire power to snag the road win against the undefeated Leo squad. Leo was led in scoring by [player_tooltip player_id="874150" first="Blake" last="Davison"] (15 pts) and [player_tooltip player_id="870252" first="Ayden" last="Ruble"] (11 pts). Leo has been on an absolute roll to start the season and have played some really good basketball. Luers put up a big fight but will have to have a short memory of this game as they will travel to Fort Wayne Canterbury this Saturday for their second game of the season.                      </p> <p><b>Woodlan survives Angola    </b></p> <p>In a very close, back-and-forth battle, Woodlan was able to survive Angola, 54-53. [player_tooltip player_id="870234" first="Joe" last="Reidy"] was the star of the game for Woodlan here as he dropped an impressive 32 points and scored the last few buckets for Woodlan down the stretch. Angola’s <strong>Brian Parrish</strong> had himself a huge performance dropping 20 points with 18 of those coming from 6 triples. With this win, Woodlan moves to 2-0 and will face New Haven on Wednesday. Angola moves to 1-3 and will face Garrett on Friday.          </p>
