First off, congrats to the Mt. Vernon Marauders' girls team on winning the Hoosier Heritage Conference championship. The Marauders, ranked No. 1 in Class 3A, pulled away from Delta in the second half to win Wednesday night, led by Rachel Houck's 15 points. MV is now 18-0. New Palestine has a shot at finishing in a tie for second place with a Saturday afternoon game against Pendleton Heights. The Dragons are 10-8/4-2 after a 62-48 win over Lawrence Central on Wednesday in which Bethany Murrell tied her career high with 33 points. Greenfield-Central also posted a victory this week, beating Yorktown on Tuesday to improve to 9-9/3-4.
Now, let's turn our attention to the boys. We have two broadcasts this weekend:
Friday: Connersville at Mt. Vernon
Saturday: Greenfield-Central at Eastern Hancock
Both game broadcasts begin at 7:10 p.m. with Andrew Smith and Chris Lambert.
On Friday, we see a matchup of two of the top coaches in the area in C'ville's Kerry Brown and MV's Steve Lynch. Both teams are struggling to find victories at this point in the year, but both have dangerous players who will be ones we'll be watching Friday night.
Saturday, we see the Hoosier Heritage Conference leaders in G-C face an EH team that's 11-3 and will have been resting for eight days since erupting for 92 points in a victory over Lapel. The Cougars have a HUGE game Friday night against Pendleton Heights, one of the teams one game back of the Cougars in the HHC standings. Rushville is the other one-loss team in the HHC, and G-C faces the Lions in late February.
Also Friday, New Palestine returns to conference play when it takes on Yorktown in its homecoming game.
Lots of good hoops upcoming. Join us!
