5fouls Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 We are less than two weeks before the start of the 2019 Indiana High School Basketball Season (for boys, the girls have already started). To help everyone get keep up with what happens around the state, here is a link to John Harrel's site, the Bible of high school basketball in Indiana. https://indianahsbasketball.homestead.com/boys.html The date I have circled on my calendar, is Saturday, December 14th, for the Southport Shootout. Talent galore on the floor, with every game featuring future D1 players, the last two games being especially intriguing. Furst vs, Kaufman and Galloway vs. Leal. IU does not have a game that day, so I have to imagine the coaching staff will be all over this event. Southport, Dec. 14 Noon Greensburg vs. Southport 1:40 pm Heritage Hills vs. Brownsburg 3:30 pm Gary West vs. Hamilton Southeastern 5:00 pm Evansville Reitz vs. Carmel 6:40 pm Fort Wayne Blackhawk vs. Silver Creek 8:30 pm Culver Academy vs. Bloomington South Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I saw Blackhawk on the news the other day...according to the story they lost 8 seniors from last year. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 School board votes to close Hammond Clark and Hammond Gavit high schools beginning with the '21-'22 school year. Will be consolidated into Hammond High and Hammond Morton. While sometimes necessary from a financial perspective, I always hate to see this happen. Kids enjoying being on a team now may get squeezed of the team after consolidation because of numbers. https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/post-tribune/ct-ptb-hammond-school-close-meet-st-1122-20191121-aj5zgx3i5vgztbc2fwq4v73o2m-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Season starts this week. As much as I love the college game, there are aspects of high school that I like better. High school gyms create a much more personal feel to the atmosphere than their larger, more business like college arenas. No matter where you sit, you feel close to the action. There;s not as much in the way of 'cupcake' scheduling, You play the teams in your conference and then try to find non-conference opponents of equal strength. Rivalries seem to be more intense. Players in neighboring towns grow up playing against each other all through grade school and middle school, or they may have played against an opponent in another sport. Crazy fans are not cooped up in their basement watching the game on TV. They are physically in the gym where the action is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of games for the cheating coach, but the innocent players on the team don't get to play in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha Ha. The end of football season always means the start of basketball season for me. The end of basketball season usually means there is still more basketball to play.

5fouls Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Culver Academy only beat Indiana Home School by 15 tonight. Not sure how Galloway did, but that victory margin is not impressive against that opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Defending 2A champion Andrean lost to Lake Central, a 4A school by 11, Last year they beat Lake Central in the opener. Things really start to ramp up tonight with the headliner probably being defending 4A champ Carmel taking on Zionsville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus the last 20 minutes, this team has played really well, but, what we dont have is a Lambier, Rodman, Fife, Sheehey type guy that can piss an entire team off and take them outa the game while playing his. Dont need him to be Batman, or even Robin......maybe an Aquaman?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Silver Creek hosting Columbus East tonight in the season opener.
