Some good basketball coming up this weekend, and Andrew & Chris will be on hand to bring it to you.
Friday night, we have girls action, as 3A #1 Mt. Vernon takes on county rival Greenfield-Central.
The two teams played in the county tournament, with MV winning 42-29 on the Cougars' home floor. This time, the action takes place on the Marauders' turf. MV is 16-0 and hasn't been challenged much -- the closest shaves were a 43-42 victory over Pendleton Heights on a FT at the buzzer and a come-from-behind 58-46 overtime win over New Palestine. The Marauders are led by guard Jessica Brown, defensive stalwart Kayla Negley and a solid post trio of Anna Olson, Indiana State recruit Makenzi Reasor and freshman Erica Moore -- a potential future Indiana All-Star. Not to mention 3-point shooter Rachel Houck, the Marauders are a team that has been very difficult to match up with and looks to go a long way in the Class 3A tournament.
G-C has been playing well since its loss to MV in the county, an overtime loss at New Palestine last week the Cougars' lone blemish since then. Point guard LaRae Cruz, shooter Kyra Tweedy and forward Katie Peters lead the Cougars' attack, and have led them to an 8-8 record heading into the season's homestretch.
Tipoff is 7:30 p.m. Join Andrew & Chris at 7:10 for the pregame show.
LISTEN LIVE!
A couple of boys games also tomorrow:
Lapel (5-7) at Eastern Hancock (10-3)
The Royals won two close road games against sectional foes, and remain unbeaten against Class A and 2A competition. Lapel is always a good test, as the Bulldogs play in the tough Indiana Crossroads Conference. Our friends at HCSNRadio.com will be broadcasting the game beginning at 7:10 p.m. LISTEN LIVE here!
New Palestine (5-6) at Triton Central (3-7)
The Dragons head south to face a solid Tigers squad that won back-to-back games against Hauser and HHC leader Greenfield-Central last week. Josh Penley leads NP with 17 ppg.
Saturday night, there are a handful of games:
Shelbyville (8-4) at Greenfield-Central (4-7): The Cougars can take a big step toward HHC title contention with a victory. Shelby just knocked off Pendleton Heights last week.
Whiteland (4-7) at New Palestine (5-6): Big double-weekend for the Dragons as they look to pop above .500
Mt. Vernon (3-8) vs. Knightstown (5-6), 6 p.m. at the Anderson Wigwam: The Wigwam Classic has taken off as a big day on the sports calendar. MV is coming off a huge come-from-behind win over then 3A No. 6 Howe last week.
Also, a reminder that our friends at HCSNRadio.com will be broadcasting the Indianapolis City championship game Saturday evening from Arsenal Tech High School.
Next week, we will have two games: Connersville at Mt. Vernon boys on Friday night, and Greenfield-Central at Eastern Hancock boys on Saturday. Both broadcasts at 7:10 p.m.

Tonight's games
Thanks for bearing with us through some pretty severe technical problems we were experiencing before the game. We had some issues getting our phone connection set up, but thankfully, we were able to get on the air right at tipoff.
Pendleton Heights is good. Very good -- the Arabians showed it tonight. They have a great 1-2 punch in 6-4 wing Kellen Dunham and 5-11 point guard Kendall Waters, who combined for 51 points in the Arabians' 76-49 victory over New Palestine tonight. Waters had 33 points on 9-of-14 FG shooting and 10-of-11 from the line, to go along with five boards, six assists and four steals. He was in total control of the game from start to finish. Dunham added 18 points, including an off-balance 3 right before halftime that gave the Arabians a 35-22 edge going into the break and really propelled them to the victory.
At 11-1, PH is going to be a serious factor in the old North Central Conference sectional and it's hard to see how they're not getting poll votes. New Palestine's Justin Ikerd is growing up before our eyes, too. He had 17 points tonight, and had several on drives to the hoop and pull-up shots, in addition to his deadeye 3-point shooting. Josh Penley added 13 points.
Two other boys games in Hancock County tonight: Eastern Hancock beat Shenandoah 60-58 in overtime in the renewal of their rivalry. Big road victory for the Royals, who have another tough game at Union County tomorrow.
Mt. Vernon fell to a ranked Rushville team 67-52 on the road. MV returns home tomorrow to face No. 6 Howe.
We have girls action Saturday night: Greenfield-Central at New Palestine, 7:10 p.m. airtime with Chris Lambert and Allen Cooper. LISTEN LIVE HERE!
Another big girls game involves 3A No. 1 Mt. Vernon meeting Shelbyville. We will broadcast the Marauders' Friday-night game against Greenfield-Central on Jan. 21.

Friday's coming
... and some good basketball.
First up, we have the very loaded Pendleton Heights Arabians, who may be 10-1, but they inexplicably aren't getting any votes in the Class 4A poll. With one of the state's top 1-2 punches in Butler-bound Kellen Dunham and fellow guard Kendall Waters, PH should be. Then, there are the New Palestine Dragons, the team that just plays overtime after overtime after overtime. NP has played 10 games this year, won five. Four of the 10 have gone to OT, and another was literally decided at the buzzer. Josh Penley has been playing very well for the Dragons and the supporting cast has been showing up big.
Chris Lambert & I are looking forward to bringing you this game Friday night, 7:10 p.m. airtime from PHHS. LISTEN LIVE!
Elsewhere in Hancock County:
Mt. Vernon (2-7) has a double-weekend upcoming against ranked teams. The Marauders face HHC co-leader and 3A #10 Rushville (9-1, 3-0) on Friday night in the Lions' den, then return home to face 3A #6 Indianapolis Howe (6-2) Saturday. On Jan. 22, the Marauders will face Knightstown in the second Wigwam Classic -- an all-day basketball affair that will feature LOTS of great hoops.
Greenfield-Central (4-6, 3-0) plays the second of three straight single weekends. The Cougars are off Friday, but host Triton Central Saturday. TC has dropped seven straight since winning its opener and has a game Friday night against conference foe Hauser.
Eastern Hancock (8-3) has a tough double-weekend of potential sectional foes. On Friday, the Royals travel to Shenandaoh (6-5), then go to Union County (9-2) on Saturday. UC and EH are two of the favorites in the very tough Hagerstown sectional.
Then, on Saturday
We bring you girls action, as the New Palestine Dragons (7-6) -- fresh off a 70-63 road victory at 2A #6 Triton Central -- host the Greenfield-Central Cougars (7-7). Airtime is 7:10 p.m. for this intra-county clash that will also be the Dragons' Shoot for the Cure Pink Game for breast cancer research. NP had four players in double-figures in the win over TC, led by Danielle Owens' 17 points and 13 rebounds. Again, CLICK TO LISTEN LIVE!

Friday night roundup
Greenfield-Central posts its fourth win in six games with a 52-44 road win at Mt. Vernon.
Cougars take the lead when 6'6 post Tyler Stone scores six points late in the first and midway through the second, and then Josh Mayes took over. The Cougar senior hit four 3s and two big baskets to start the third. He finished the night with 18 points, including 10 in the third quarter when the Cougars took a 6-point halftime lead and pushed it as high as 16. MV cut it to four late, led by Anthony Burnett and C.J. Coleman, but the Cougars -- led by Jordan Conley's 9-of-10 performance from the stripe -- iced the game at the line. G-C played most of the night without starter Derek Conley, who suffered an ankle injury early in the game and did not return.
G-C now 4-6 (3-0 Hoosier Heritage Conference), MV now 2-6 (1-2).
In other games tonight, Eastern Hancock improved to 8-3 with a nice 51-32 victory over Muncie Burris. New Palestine's win streak was snapped on the road at Delta tonight, as the Dragons fell in OT by a 73-69 score. It was the Dragons' third consecutive overtime game.
Next week, we have two games on HancockCountySports.com -- on Friday, we'll be at Pendleton Heights for the New Palestine-PH game. Saturday night, we have girls basketball, as G-C visits NP. Airtime for both games is 7:10 p.m.
