Every single Championship game next week has a private school participating.  All 4 of them.  Public schools are at such a disadvantage.  

Fake news. Many public schools recruit more than the privates. Which in their case is illegal!

Yeah, I had heard he would have gone to Carroll had he stayed in Fort Wayne. I've heard some pretty crazy stories about the Central Noble program having assistant coaches offering to build houses for Fort Wayne players and their families to move into so they'd be in the district. Apparently Central Noble's coach doesn't live in Noble County, either. Just weird stuff. 

Did you pay attention to ‘busco prior to this year? Hard to top that 3-ring circus.

He was a Carroll kid.  Evidently didn't like the HC.  Transferred to Central Noble.

It’s rumored he wanted a guaranteed starting spot prior to enrolling and was told he’d have to earn it. The Gard kid was from Garrett as well as the coach formerly.

Busco and Blackhawk tied at 14 😳😳😳😳 rico are you pulling strings for me 

Close game as forewarned, 69-55. Spring cleaning awaits In Turtle Town as their season ends.

Very. He's the type of kid that could flourish as a shooter.....or the type of kid that doesn't see the court and transfers after a year. I think that commitment was more about Underwood trying to get an Indiana kid vs the right type of kid.

Spot on. I think it’s a case of 2 things.

Underwear wanting him for the sake of having an “Indiana kid.” 

Goode was likely tired of waiting on IU and PU to offer and took the first B1G team to offer.

He does not fit the illannoy style of play whatsoever. Almost a guaranteed transfer. Probably best suited for Butler, Wisconsin, or Iowa from a system’s perspective.

I’m so pumped for Loyer. People were trying to compare him to his brother and they’re not remotely comparable as players lol. 

Spot on. Any school could use this kid.  Clearly the one to get on Homestead.

From what I’ve gathered (both today and throughout the season), Loyer is just a better all-around player. Better shooter, better passer, and has been the best player on that team this year. Goode has had some really good games but also some duds. Loyer is much more consistent. Hope that helps. Sounds like through the first half today, Goode has looked bad trying to play hero ball. Carmel up 8 at the half. 

Fairly consistent with how they breakdown. I’m not shocked that they’re in trouble. Homestead is really good, but they’ve relied on Lady Luck more than a few times to get by vs good competition.

Zane Burke. Played his freshman year at Churubusco before transferring. 

Definitely adds to the suspense of this matchup.

Is Caleb from busco ? 

Good guess, but no. Caleb is from FW and went thru the Blackhawk system.

Hard to imagine Blackhawk losing here. I’m still willing to bet it’s closer than most expect. The irony is the best player from busco will be playing against them.

Private school Blackhawk is definitely special for a 2A club. However, busco does not have a typical public school roster either. This could be closer than ppl realize. Blackhawk by 6.

Blackhawk vs busco

Who ya got?

Will Blackhawk end busco’s run and start spring cleaning?

Can busco be giant-killers?

If any of you follow Bounce on Twitter he took issue with this matter and politely mentioned the Luers recruits the least of the FW schools, both public and private.

Sorry to break the news, but there are just as many public schools that recruit. It goes both ways. 

Why the hatred for Blackhawk?

Did you come on here just to jerk my chain?  I see you are a newbie and your 1st post is concerning 'Busco in HS Hoops thread.  WTF?

Nope. How about we start  a hs finals picking contest.

I'm not rico, but nobody in 2A North is coming within 25 of Blackhawk. 

Blackhawk is where the bar is up North. Not sure anyone up North could touch them outside of 6A Homestead.

Well it has been a good year for Whitko.  16 wins is the most in 10 years.  Coach Benedict has them going in the right direction.  Be nice to get #17 over Blackhawk but it realistically ain't in the cards.

GO 'Cats

Close, but no cigar unless you had +40.

I am almost positive that Dwenger beat them in the regular season.

And that sounds like a fantastic contest you and your son do.  I would have played!

Leo did lose to BD 2-3 weeks ago. I like the Saints in this one.

Their team was full of out of district kids and transfers last season.

'Busco has a 6-8 kid that is their star.  His name is Landen Jordan.  But I would hold off on naming them sectional champs.  Central Noble, Westview, and 'Busco got all the pub.  I would be surprised to see Eastside win that sectional now.  The Blazers are 17-7 and play in the same conference as the "favorites."

Does busco have any kids from busco on their team this season?
