If you missed anything last night, check out our game night quick hitters and the daily dive. Here are the five best games you’ll want to follow Wednesday evening.
Brownsburg @ North Central
This will be an interesting game to follow as both teams will feature some new faces and have a lot of unknowns. North Central junior Joey Brown Joey Brown 6'6" | SG North Central | 2023 State #280 Nation IN will likely be the best player on the floor as a do-it-all 6’6″ wing. Without Leland Walker, Brown will be asked to take on the primary scoring role for the Panthers this season. Mason Lewis Mason Lewis 5'9" | PG Crispus Attucks | 2024 State IN should have a breakout sophomore season at the point guard spot as well. Big man Shon Tupuola Shon Tupuola 6'8" | C Brownsburg | 2022 State IN is one to watch for Brownsburg.
Hamilton Southeastern @ Brebeuf Jesuit
Brebeuf already got a game under their belt with a 69-64 overtime victory against Cardinal Ritter. Billy Smith Billy Smith 6'7" | SF Brebeuf Jesuit | 2022 State IN led the way with 23 points while Marial Puou Marial Puou 6'7" | PF Brebeuf Jesuit | 2022 State IN added 16 points and 11 rebounds. Tonight, they will host a young but talented Hamilton Southeastern team. The Royals feature senior Sam Jacobs Sam Jacobs 6'4" | SF Hamilton Southeastern | 2022 State IN , junior Reph Stevenson Reph Stevenson 6'7" | PF Hamilton Southeastern | 2023 State IN , and a very strong sophomore class.
Indianapolis Metropolitan @ Linton-Stockton
Our preseason #1 Class 2A team will play host to our #7 Class 1A team. Indy Met added Omari Ferguson Omari Ferguson 6'3" | SG Indianapolis Metropolitan | 2023 IN , an explosive guard from Pike, this offseason who should really raise their level. Linton-Stockton features one of the best small school trios in the state with juniors Joey Hart Joey Hart 6'5" | SG Linton-Stockton | 2023 State #214 Nation IN and Logan Webb Logan Webb 6'3" | SG Linton-Stockton | 2023 State IN alongside sophomore Braden Walters Braden Walters 6'6" | PF Terre Haute North | 2024 State IN .

Lawrence North @ Noblesville
The depth of talent may not be the same at Lawrence North as it has been in years past, but Mr. Basketball candidate Chris Gunn Chris Gunn 6'5" | SG Lawrence North | 2022 State #114 Nation IN will help maintain their spot as one of the best in the Indianapolis area. Freshman Azavier Robinson Azavier Robinson 6'1" | PG Lawrence North | 2025 State #88 Nation IN is one to watch as well as he begins his high school career. Noblesville is a talented, deep group led by a trio of juniors Preston Roberts Preston Roberts 6'5" | SF Noblesville | 2023 State IN , Luke Almodovar Luke Almodovar 6'2" | SG Noblesville | 2023 State IN , and Cooper Bean Cooper Bean 6'4" | SG Noblesville | 2023 State IN .

Homestead @ Huntington North
Mr. Basketball candidate Fletcher Loyer Fletcher Loyer 6'4" | SG Homestead | 2022 State #108 Nation IN will begin his senior campaign with running mate Andrew Leeper Andrew Leeper 6'6" | PF Homestead | 2022 State IN at the forward spot. Look for junior wing Kyron Kaopuiki Kyron Kaopuiki 6'3" | SG Homestead | 2023 State IN to have a big season for the Spartans as well. Zach Hubartt Zach Hubartt 6'0" | SG Huntington North | 2022 State IN and Will Hotchkiss Will Hotchkiss 6'3" | SF Huntington North | 2022 State IN form a solid one-two punch for Huntington North as they try to keep up on the scoreboard with Homestead. The home crowd should help. This will be a fun one in northern Indiana tonight.
