CLASS 4A
Culver Academy vs. South Bend Riley (Tuesday, 7 p.m. ET / LaPorte) It will be Culver’s 2020 signee Trey Galloway going head-to-head against 2021 Riley guard Blake Wesley, and the two should guard one another most of the night. The teams met earlier this season, with Culver winning 54-40 despite 35 points from Wesley.
Homestead vs. Fort Wayne Wayne (Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. / Huntington North) Indiana hasn’t offered a scholarship to 2021 Homestead wing Luke Goode, but he is a player that IU has been in contact with and will watch this spring and summer.
Marion vs. McCutcheon (Tuesday, 6 p.m. / Lafayette Jeff) Marion 2021 guard Jalen Blackmon is out for the season after a knee injury, but McCutcheon freshman guard Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn averaged over 20 points per game in his first season of high school basketball.
Lafayette Jeff 2021 wing Brooks Barnhizer has a bye until Friday at the Lafayette Jeff sectional.
Hamilton Southeastern vs. Carmel (Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. / Noblesville) Carmel 2022 guard Peter Suder is on the IU radar as a sophomore.
Westfield 2022 point guard Braden Smith is also in the Noblesville sectional and has a bye until Friday.

Lawrence North vs. Lawrence Central (Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. / Lawrence Central) It isn’t fair that these top program meet in the first round. LC’s 2022 wing Tae Davis is the primary IU target in this contest. LN’s 2022 guard C.J. Gunn is also a name to know.
North Central 2022 point guard Leland Walker has a bye until Friday at the Lawrence Central sectional.
Franklin Central vs. Center Grove (Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. / Shelbyville) Franklin Central freshman forward Jalen Hooks averaged 9.3 points and 4.7 rebounds and appears to be on track to become one of the best players in the state as an upperclassman.
