Mishawaka Dominates Culver Academy
In what was probably the most anticipated game in Northern Indiana last night, 2 of the top teams in 3A squared off with Mishawaka Marian putting a beat down on Culver Academy 60-42. Both Deaglan Sullivan Deaglan Sullivan 6'2" | PG Mishawaka Marian | 2023 State IN and Richard Brooks Richard Brooks 6'3" | SF Mishawaka Marian | 2022 State IN from Marian absolutely stuffed the stat and with Sullivan dropping 21 pts, 6 asts, and 4 rbs and Brooks adding 15 pts, 5 asts, and 4 rbs himself.

Mishawaka Marian now jumps to 11-2 this year whereas Culver Academy drops to 7-3. Up next for Marian, they have a huge showdown with 4A Penn on 1/21.
Decatur Central Upsets Ben Davis
In what was probably the biggest update of the night, the Decatur Central Hawks beat the Ben Davis Giants 60-57. Ben Davis started the year so hot going 11-2 in their first 13 games but now have lost two straight including this one to a Decatur Central team that has been up and down all season.

Anderson Continues To Roll
What a roll this Anderson Indians team has been on lately. They currently are 11-2 and are on a 6-game winning streak after they defeated Marion 79-50 last night. There were 3 guys on Anderson that scored in double figures but they were led by 2023 G Ahmere Carson with his outstanding 29 point performance. Up next for Anderson, they will be on the road to face Harrison (West Lafayette) on 1/21. This Anderson team is a sneaky good team in 4A and should be one to watch out for come Sectional time.
