There will be a few before Christmas, but then it really gets heavy in the week following Christmas. For us at Prep Hoops Indiana that means an opportunity to see dozens of games in the span of just a couple of days. This evening though is still your typical Tuesday night slate. Let’s take a look at five of the best games to watch around the state.
Franklin Central @ Pike
Both of these teams have proven to be dangerous early on this season. Franklin Central and Pike have each knocked off Brownsburg, but otherwise have struggled to find their footing. The Flashes enter tonight’s matchup with a 2-5 record while the Red Devils sit a 3-3. Two of the top Class of 2026 prospects in the state will be going head-to-head in this one as sophomore guard Dezhon Hall Dezhon Hall 6'3" | PG Pike | 2026 State IN takes on his Indy Heat teammate from last summer EJ Hazelett. Damon Howard Damon Howard 6'1" | PG Pike | 2025 State IN , Coryell Spates Coryell Spates 6'1" | SG Pike | 2024 State IN , and Titus Hunter Titus Hunter 6'5" | PF Pike | 2025 State IN have all had strong starts to this season for Pike as well.
Crispus Attucks @ Lawrence North
If you are simply looking for the best game in Indiana this will be your answer on Tuesday night. #7 ranked Crispus Attucks travel to take on undefeated #1 ranked Lawerence North. There will certainly be no shortage of talent in this one as the Wildcats feature the backcourt duo of Azavier Robinson Azavier Robinson 6'1" | PG Lawrence North | 2025 State #88 Nation IN and Kobi Bowles Kobi Bowles 6'2" | PG Lawrence North | 2024 State IN while sophomore forwards Brennan Miller Brennan Miller 6'7" | PF Lawrence North | 2026 State IN and Kai McGrew hold it down in the front court. Those two will have a chance to bang around with junior Dezmon Briscoe Dezmon Briscoe 6'9" | PF Crispus Attucks | 2025 State #107 Nation IN inside while University of Indianapolis signee Ron Rutland III Ron Rutland III 6'1" | SG Crispus Attucks | 2024 State IN leads Attucks on the perimeter.
Lake Central @ Munster
For fans up in the Region this will be the one to circle on the schedule. Lake Central is out to a 6-0 start led by senior guards Cameron Thompson and Dorien Beatty Dorien Beatty 5'10" | PG Lake Central | 2024 IN . 6’6″ senior forward Jake Smith Jake Smith 6'6" | PF Lake Central | 2024 State IN gives them a talented interior presence as well. Winning at Munster is never an easy task though and the Mustangs will feature Spring Arbor commit David Cundiff David Cundiff 6'0" | PG Munster | 2024 State IN alongside Nolan Kinsella Nolan Kinsella 6'1" | SG Munster | 2024 IN and Jermaine Coney Jermaine Coney 6'2" | SG Munster | 2024 IN . This will be a final test for the Indians before they head down to the North Central Tournament to face Pike and Park Tudor next week.
Wapahani @ Frankton
This Class 2A battle will feature the 5-2 Eagles of Frankton against #4 ranked Wapahani who enters with a 7-0 record. The Raiders are winning by an average of nearly 30 points per game as well led by senior guard Isaac Andrews Isaac Andrews 6'1" | SG Wapahani | 2024 State IN who is making his case for potential Indiana All-Star status. He is averaging 25.9 points per game to go along with 8.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Andrews is 28-63 from three-point range already as well. Sophomore guard Camden Bell Camden Bell 6'1" | PG Wapahani | 2026 State IN adds 13.9 points per game for Wapahani.
Warsaw @ Carroll (Fort Wayne)
Warsaw is fresh off of an 86-45 beatdown of South Bend Washington at last weekend’s Champions of Character Classic. Robbie Finlinson was the star of that victory, but 6’8″ Olivet Nazarene bound Luke Yeager Luke Yeager 6'8" | C Warsaw | 2024 State IN and a balanced attack of Tigers have helped lead Coach Matt Moore’s group to a 4-2 record. Meanwhile, Carroll has been led by their three-headed monster of Jaiyre Sampson Jaiyre Sampson 5'10" | PG Fort Wayne Carroll | 2025 State IN , Bowling Green signee Jaxon Pardon Jaxon Pardon 6'4" | SG Fort Wayne Carroll | 2024 State IN , and Grace signee Cannen Houser Cannen Houser 6'5" | SG Fort Wayne Carroll | 2024 State IN . This should be a fun one to watch in Fort Wayne on Tuesday night.
