Continue ReadingThe premier high school event of the summer, the 2022 IHSAA/IBCA Charlie Hughes Showcase, will tip-off on Friday at 4:00 p.m. with 132 teams coming to Carmel High School and Westfield High School. This showcase is absolutely loaded with the best teams and prospects that the state of Indiana has to offer. Also, with it being a live recruiting period, college coaches will be out in full force taking in the action. Our Prep Hoops Indiana staff will have boots on the ground at both locations this weekend and will be bringing preview content heading into Friday evening. We began by highlighting five marquee Friday night matchups. Now, we will turn our focus to the best of the best on Saturday.
Fishers vs. Valparaiso
When & Where: 8:30 a.m. @ Carmel H.S. Freshman/Aux Gym
Prospects to Watch: Jalen Haralson Jalen Haralson 6'7" | PG La Lumiere | 2025 #8 Nation IN (Fishers H.S. 2025), Jonanthony Hall (Fishers H.S. 2025), Myles Stringer Myles Stringer 6'2" | PG Fishers | 2023 IN (Fishers H.S. 2023), Taden Metzger Taden Metzger 6'3" | SG Fishers | 2024 State IN (Fishers H.S. 2024), Mason Jones Mason Jones 6'7" | PF Valparaiso | 2023 State IN (Valparaiso H.S. 2023), Jack Smiley Jack Smiley 6'2" | PG Valparaiso | 2025 State IN (Valparaiso H.S. 2025)
Top Storyline: Sophomore Jalen Haralson Jalen Haralson 6'7" | PG La Lumiere | 2025 #8 Nation IN . It didn’t take long for the 6’6″ freshmen phenom to solidify himself as one of the best players in the state of Indiana. Now, a year older and wiser, Haralson will look to lead a Fishers team that lost a ton of minutes to graduation.
Zionsville vs. North Central
When & Where: 11:30 a.m. @ Carmel H.S. Main Gym
Prospects to Watch: Logan Imes Logan Imes 6'4" | PG Zionsville | 2023 State #202 Nation IN (Zionsville H.S. 2023), Nick Richart Nick Richart 6'9" | PF Zionsville | 2023 State IN (Zionsville H.S. 2023), Joey Brown Joey Brown 6'6" | SG North Central | 2023 State #280 Nation IN (North Central H.S. 2023), Mason Lewis Mason Lewis 5'9" | PG Crispus Attucks | 2024 State IN (North Central H.S. 2024), Papi Rivera Papi Rivera 6'1" | PG North Central | 2025 State IN (North Central H.S. 2025)
Top Storyline: Logan Imes Logan Imes 6'4" | PG Zionsville | 2023 State #202 Nation IN vs. Joey Brown Joey Brown 6'6" | SG North Central | 2023 State #280 Nation IN . I would expect to see these two go head-to-head on both ends of the floor. Imes, a Penn State commit, shot the ball really well for the Indiana All-Stars and seems to completely healed from some nagging injuries through the end of high school into the spring. Brown has also returned from injury and has shown off his impressive versatility at his size. Two of the best prospects in the state.
Greenfield-Central vs. NorthWood
When & Where: 2:30 p.m. @ Carmel Dad’s Club Court 4
Prospects to Watch: Dylan Moles Dylan Moles 6'3" | PG Greenfield-Central | 2023 State IN (Greenfield-Central H.S. 2023), Braylon Mullins Braylon Mullins 6'6" | SG Greenfield-Central | 2025 State #123 Nation IN (Greenfield-Central H.S. 2025), Cade Brenner Cade Brenner 6'3" | SG NorthWood | 2023 State IN (NorthWood H.S. 2023), Ian Raasch Ian Raasch 6'6" | PF NorthWood | 2023 State IN (NorthWood H.S. 2023), Nitareon Tuggle Nitareon Tuggle 6'3" | SG NorthWood | 2024 IN (NorthWood H.S. 2024)
Top Storyline: Dylan Moles Dylan Moles 6'3" | PG Greenfield-Central | 2023 State IN vs. Cade Brenner Cade Brenner 6'3" | SG NorthWood | 2023 State IN . Two of the better shot-making guards in the state will go head-to-head on Saturday afternoon at Carmel with these two rising seniors taking the floor. Both have Crossroads League offers with plenty of other interest. I’d expect the stands to be full of college coaches at all levels for this one.
Carmel vs. Bloomington North
When & Where: 2:30 p.m. @ Carmel H.S. Main Gym
Prospects to Watch: Garwey Dual Garwey Dual 6'5" | PG Carmel | 2023 #113 Nation CA-S (Carmel H.S. 2023), Sam Orme Sam Orme 6'9" | SF Carmel | 2023 State #196 Nation IN (Carmel H.S. 2023), Spencer White Spencer White 6'5" | SF Carmel | 2023 State IN (Carmel H.S. 2023), Jared Bonds Jared Bonds 6'5" | PF Carmel | 2023 State IN (Carmel H.S. 2023), JaQualon Roberts JaQualon Roberts 6'8" | PF Bloomington North | 2023 State IN (Bloomington H.S. North 2023)
Top Storyline: Seeing Garwey Dual Garwey Dual 6'5" | PG Carmel | 2023 #113 Nation CA-S with the Greyhounds. It has been a busy month for the Providence commit, but this will be a great opportunity to see the 6’5″ guard play with his high school team against top competition. Watching the matchup of Orme vs. Roberts will be an interesting one as well.
Cathedral vs. Kokomo

Prospects to Watch: Xavier Booker Xavier Booker 6'11" | PF Cathedral | 2023 State #4 Nation IN (Cathedral H.S. 2023), Jake Davis Jake Davis 6'6" | SF Cathedral | 2023 State IN (Cathedral H.S. 2023), Jaron Tibbs Jaron Tibbs 6'4" | SF Cathedral | 2023 State IN (Cathedral H.S. 2023), Sincere Germany Sincere Germany 6'2" | SG Cathedral | 2023 State IN (Cathedral H.S. 2023), Lebron Gough Lebron Gough 6'1" | PG Cathedral | 2025 State IN (Cathedral H.S. 2025), Deric Cannady Deric Cannady 5'11" | PG Cathedral | 2025 State IN (Cathedral H.S. 2025), Flory Bidunga Flory Bidunga 6'9" | C Kokomo | 2024 State #7 Nation IN (Kokomo H.S. 2025), Zion Bellamy Zion Bellamy 5'8" | PG Kokomo | 2025 State IN (Kokomo H.S. 2025)
Top Storyline: Xavier Booker Xavier Booker 6'11" | PF Cathedral | 2023 State #4 Nation IN vs. Flory Bidunga Flory Bidunga 6'9" | C Kokomo | 2024 State #7 Nation IN . This is probably the biggest storyline of the entire weekend at Charlie Hughes. The college coaches will be out in full force for this one watching 5-star Top 10 prospect Booker go against one of the top 2024 big men in the country in Bidunga. You won’t want to miss this one.
