We highlighted Homestead prior to the Charlie Hughes Showcase as one of the four primary state title contenders in Class 4A this season. They certainly proved us right over the course of the weekend. LaCross, a transfer from Blackhawk Christian, is a big part of why they are legitimate contenders now. The talented 6’4″ rising junior guard averaged 22.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Homestead has had an excellent weekend and LaCross has been a big part of their success. The 6’4″ guard is highly skilled on the offensive end. He has good positional size, takes contact well as a driver, and is an excellent shot-maker both from beyond the arc and in the mid-range. LaCross is going to be a major difference-maker for the Spartans this season.

Thursday offered our first look at LaCross is a Homestead uniform. The 6’4″ scoring guard transferred from Blackhawk Christian where he spent his first two seasons. LaCross is an excellent shot-maker and all-around scorer, which was on display at Purdue, but it was his strength and physicality off of the dribble that really stood out. Defenders bounce off of him as he attacks the basket.

One of our exciting young prospects that we have coming up the ranks is Bryce LaCross Bryce LaCross 6'4" | SG/PG Homestead | 2028 State IN and getting a chance to watch him vs Heritage Christian, you see why. A lot of what Blackhawk does runs through LaCross and is game that can be tasked with that playmaker role. He is strong in the lane and gets to the basket at ease while also being a solid jump shooter and passer. Strong, athletic, skilled guard. 

LaCross continues to prove himself as one of the top sophomores in the state of Indiana. The 6’4″ guard poured in a career-high 35 points in a 67-64 win over Fort Wayne Wayne on Saturday night. He also had 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. Blackhawk Christian is now 12-5 on the season and will not be an easy team to beat in the Class 3A tournament.

The combination of size, strength, athleticism, and skill that this sophomore guard possesses is what makes him such a highly ranked prospect in the Class of 2028. LaCross was excellent for Blackhawk Christian in their win over Cardinal Ritter finishing with 21 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists to lead the Braves. He also scored 15 points in their win over New Palestine.
