IU/Butler/Notre Dame

Congrats to Caleb Furst being selected 2021 mr basketball. Well deserved ! Proud of Brown for finishing 3rd and very close to 2nd in such a loaded class ! 4th all time in scoring 9th all time in assists ( only player in the top 50 in scoring and top 10 in assists ) only player in Ihsaa history to finish with a career 50/40/90 Average and only the second player to lead the state in scoring 3 separate seasons. What a ride and man will this indiana all star team be fun to watch

Also side note ....my step son mentioned new warm ups but I missed what he meant ...check out Blackfords warm up gear

Too much Blackhawk .....they were hitting absolutely everything ....best of luck to them moving forward they are tough ....brown passes Romeo to fall fourth all time .....anyone that thought brown was chasing points , you could tell he knew the game was out of hand with no chance of a comeback about 3 minutes into fourth ....he only finished ten shy of second all time and easily could have gotten there if he went after it ....he played his normal game and tried to get his teammates in the box score ....great kid Im gonna miss him

One of the guys that picked my father and I up at the airport has an extra ticket if anyone needs one send me a message

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wane.com/sports/team-of-the-week/totw-blackford-bruins-boys-basketball/amp/ good interview with Luke ....it’s why it’s hard not to like him

Since they are separating attendance I don’t have access to tickets foR that one so i can’t really help but it will be on Ihsaa Tv for similar price as a ticket .....May be once in a lifetime things so I’m pulling strings not to miss it

That is awesome as it is Blackfords first as well ! Cool The games are paired ! You driving up ?

Yo rico ....Elkhart Saturday for semi state ? Blackford Blackhawk and Leo sbsj should be a fun day !

Total shame they were such a well oiled machine and if Blackford doesn’t beat Blackhawk that pretty much hands it to them as I thought doah was their only rough match

Can honestly say I would have never guessed that in a million years doah would get beat much less healthily....did you go to the second game? What in the world happened ? I feel awful for them I really thought they were a lock for the finals and might have a shot to win ...that’s a special group of seniors heading out

Blackford wins first regional in school history brown with 33 ....needs 23 to get 3k

Blackford up 44-33 brown with 23 at half

1. That’s the game that really made me a shanandoah fan ....I had seen many of their juniors and seniors through youth and junior high leagues and knew they were always good but that Blackhawk game was great 2. Coach knows what he’s doing 3. I would cheer for doah but still bet on Blackhawk ....shanandoah has two 6’4idj kids who work real hard but it’s going to take a crazy performance to get by them definitely would rather see a Blackford shanandoah rematch or THEIR overtime game

Yes not that the other teams in that quarter aren’t good but that’s a big hurdle out of the way to get shanandoah to state championship and if Blackhawk ( which is a bad matchup for my Bruins ) gets through that’s a heck of a rematch

I saw shanandoah destroying them ....after all the Indy talk about how convenant Christian would win that side of the bracket....shanandoah doesn’t have the best overall players but they are the best team I’ve seen in 2A as far as a unit ... Blackhawk losing to churrabusco ( not to jinx myself saying that ....of diminish busco, but i would rather play them if we advance to semi state )

Blackford wins first game brown with 17.....needs 56 for 3000

halftime now Blackford ahead 26-22 brown with 8

Good luck to all players today glad they are getting to move forward after what happened last year ! Everyone enjoy the action and be safe ! IU being what it is we need high school action more than ever !

Very small number of tickets available for regional game sat morning M9TL39 is the ticket code on ticketspicket to get purchase access if you’d like go get in the door ! If they end up sold out and anyone is dying to go let me know and I’ll see if I can get some extras

I couldn’t agree more ...I’m often shocked by the approach of some of today’s student athletes ( and their parents ) thanks for the info!

How’d you guys do ? Yeah if Blackford plays zone we will wish we hadn’t because we do a poor job closing on outside shots I would like to see our better two outside defenders man to man on the younger guards man to man the whole way .....they don’t have any dominate big kids or post players right? we have theee players that I would be shocked if they’ll be in bed before 3 am

I hadn’t gotten to see either Christian but saw covenant beat heritiage easier in regular season ...shanandoah is probably my gold standard because they don’t have a hale brown or furst/burke like Stockton Blackford or Blackhawk they just have solid players top to bottom and play like a team. You still helping at Daleville ? Or did you tell me you switched further south ? blackford playing at 10 am is what worries me most if kids aren’t closing out on Wapahnis shots or if we play a soft zone they could take it to us ....if we shoot ok and have energy I like our chances

I actually agree with absolutely everything you said ...except Rochester having a better record is debatable ....only one loss but only played 18 games. I’ve watched most of these kids in the junior and senior classes for 7 or 8 years and even going back to fifth and sixth grade those shanandoah kids played well together. I know you said five which is true but I think they have three off the bench that they can plug without losing much or anything. They play as a team. I’m definitely rooting for them I know a lot of people pick covenenant Christian but I think that’s Indy bias. If Blackford doesn’t act like idiots playing at 10 am I think the final four is blackhawk Blackford shanandoah and linton Stockton and then the final is Blackhawk and literally whoever shoots better in the the other game

What part of the state are you guys in ?

Doah, a fantastic team with a fantastic coach is on the south side . You’re going to an amazing game they have the toughest match right out of the gate with covenant Christian ....likely won’t hit Blackford because you folks will hit linton Stockton in semi state and have a fantastic game we will hit Blackhawk Christian in semi state and no one in 2A other than shanandoah as even fazed them so we could play 100 times and be lucky to win 1
