North is ranked 9th in the Sagarin. I say 'when healthy', because SC had to play Blackhawk and North Harrison without Kaufman. Likely win both of those games if he was. Other than those 2 and a game against Jeffersonville, SC's early schedule has not been that challenging. Silver Creek with a very impressive 94-74 win over Bloomington North. The first time all season that they seemed to really put it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted January 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 New Haven knocks off (FW) Carroll 59-51. Looks like the SAC belongs to Homestead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homestead is a legit 4A championship contender. With Blackhawk the likely winner in 2A, could be a great year for high school hoops in Fort Wayne.

They struggled defending Furst the other night but I doubt they go up against bigs like that too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence North and Carmel are the two most likely candidates this season. But. really, with the gauntlet those teams face game in and game out, you can't count out any team, as they are usually better prepared than teams from other parts of the state come tournament time.

I think he finished with a line of 35/10/7. He has struggled from 3 point range this season. Made 2-4 against Bloomington North, but was 0-6 the night before. Only 22% on the year. He also broke Steve Green's school career scoring record on Saturday night. The record had stood since 1971, and Green's mark will be passed again in the next few games as Kooper Jacobi is only about 50-60 behind Green himself. Strange to have a record last 50 years and get broken twice within a 2-3 week time-frame. Edited January 19, 2021 by 5fouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have been on varsity since their freshmen years. They both came off the bench most of the season, and even played a little JV here and there. SC had a good, veteran team that year, so there was no reason to rush them. Trey missed the first 5-6 games of that season with a broken wrist. Trey averaged 7 ppg as a freshman and Kooper about 6.5. As sophomores, they were about the same as well. I think Trey was just short of 15 and Kooper just short of 14. This year Kooper is actually averaging more. 26.4 to Trey's 24.6. Trey built his lead last season 25.8 to Kooper's 17.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could could definitely play at larger schools, and he has a work ethic that is in the 99th percentile. That said, I don't have a problem with him going to the MAC. I think he will be a star at that level, and would not be surprised at all to see him become a grad transfer to a Power 5 school down the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 North Central is up at half at LN 38-30. Walker if NC has 11 and Archie needs to be looking at him harder. He is a great passer and his shot looks good ad well. I think Gunn had 9 for LN and looked pretty good but did take a couple of bad 3's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
