Prep Hoops Indiana will have boots on the ground coverage from Yorktown at Greenfield-Central (@kylerstaley) and Kokomo at Marion (@BRamseyKSR). However, we will also serve as your one stop shop for information on all games from every corner of the state. Be sure to check back on the website late Friday night after games have concluded for scores and highlights from 20+ contests statewide. Now, let’s dive on in and preview five of the best games to watch around the state of Indiana on Friday night.
Fishers @ Hamilton Southeastern
It doesn’t get much better than a good old Mudsock game. When this rivalry tips off you can throw the records out of the window and expect a tightly contested matchup. Fishers enters the contest with a 6-0 record and #3 ranking in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 4A poll. Meanwhile, Hamilton Southeastern is 2-2 after an overtime victory over Marion. The Royals haven’t played in nearly two weeks, so Nate Orr V Nate Orr V 6'2" | PG Hamilton Southeastern | 2024 State IN , Donovan Hamilton Donovan Hamilton 6'3" | SG Hamilton Southeastern | 2024 State IN , Braeden Totton Braeden Totton 6'2" | SG Hamilton Southeastern | 2025 State IN , and company should be well rested. However, matching up with Keenan Garner Keenan Garner 6'6" | PF Fishers | 2024 State IN , Taden Metzger, and the Tigers dynamic freshmen guards will not be an easy task. Expect a great game and incredible atmosphere at HSE tonight.
Fort Wayne Wayne @ Carroll (Fort Wayne)
Fans in the Fort Wayne area have a fun one to look forward to with the 3-2 Chargers playing host to the 3-2 #9 ranked Generals. This game will feature a ton of talent as Bowling Green signee Jaxon Pardon Jaxon Pardon 6'4" | SG Fort Wayne Carroll | 2024 State IN and Grace bound Cannen Houser Cannen Houser 6'5" | SG Fort Wayne Carroll | 2024 State IN suit up for Carroll across from Jevon Lewis Jevon Lewis 5'9" | PG Fort Wayne Wayne | 2024 State IN , Chase Barnes Chase Barnes 6'1" | PG Fort Wayne Wayne | 2025 State #355 Nation IN , and Trey Dillard Trey Dillard 6'6" | PF Fort Wayne Wayne | 2025 State IN for Wayne. Aside from the star-power this game could come down to the X-Factors. Jaiyre Sampson Jaiyre Sampson 5'10" | PG Fort Wayne Carroll | 2025 State IN has had an excellent season for Carroll as has Khalyn Williams-Thomas Khalyn Williams-Thomas 5'11" | PG Fort Wayne Wayne | 2025 State IN for Wayne. That will be a good battle in the backcourt. In many ways this will be a battle for early season supremacy in the Fort Wayne.
Kokomo @ Marion
The North Central Conference isn’t what it used to be, but you still can’t help but feel the Indiana High School Basketball nostalgia in this matchup. Two historic programs will face-off as the 3-2 Marion Giants host the 4-2 #7 ranked Kokomo Wildkats. Kansas signee Flory Bidunga Flory Bidunga 6'9" | C Kokomo | 2024 State #7 Nation IN is coming off of a game where he scored just 4 points in a 77-55 loss to the Fishers at the FORUM Tipoff Classic and will be looking to return to his dominant ways. Fellow senior forward Karson Rogers Karson Rogers 6'6" | PF Kokomo | 2024 State IN has had an excellent season so far too and will look to keep that rolling. As for the Giants, junior wing Jaymen Townsend Jaymen Townsend 6'6" | SF Marion | 2025 State #248 Nation IN is the player to watch. I’ll have live updates from this game on Twitter.
Silver Creek @ Jeffersonville
After a somewhat surprising 6-0 start to the season Silver Creek has climbed to #10 in the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 3A poll. Sharpshooting sophomore guard Kasen Daeger Kasen Daeger 6'3" | SG Silver Creek | 2026 State IN has been a big part of that success averaging 21.8 points per game while knocking in an incredible 22 of 41 three-point attempts. Fellow sophomore Dane Sprigler Dane Sprigler 5'11" | PG Silver Creek | 2026 IN has added 15.7 points per game. The Dragons will be put to the test in this one though going against Jeffersonville who is coming off of a 40-39 upset to Seymour. Jeffersonville is just 1-2 on the year, but the junior trio of Tre Singleton Tre Singleton 6'7" | PF Jeffersonville | 2025 State #225 Nation IN , Michael Cooper Michael Cooper 6'2" | PG Jeffersonville | 2025 State IN , and P.J. Douglas P.J. Douglas 6'4" | SF Jeffersonville | 2025 State IN gives them a chance every time they step on the floor. Senior guard Jeremy Rose Jeremy Rose 6'1" | SG Jeffersonville | 2024 State IN is off to a good start at his new home as well. This will be the game to watch in southern Indiana this evening.
South Bend St. Joseph @ South Bend Riley
We’ve got the entire state covered here on a Friday night. If you are a basketball fan in South Bend there will be no better place to be that South Bend Riley High School to watch the 5-1 Wildcats take on 3-2 South Bend St. Joseph. Bethel commit Payton Baird Payton Baird 6'5" | SF South Bend Riley | 2024 State IN , dynamic junior guard Marvin Schindler Marvin Schindler 5'9" | PG South Bend Riley | 2025 State IN , and company will go against a talented duo of Chase Konieczny Chase Konieczny 6'4" | SG South Bend Saint Joseph | 2025 State #277 Nation IN and Nick Shrewsberry Nick Shrewsberry 6'4" | SG South Bend St. Joseph | 2026 State IN .
