One of the state’s top high school basketball players will miss his first-round sectional game next week.

Lawrence North senior CJ Gunn was whistled for two technical fouls in Tuesday night’s 64-38 home victory over Hamilton Southeastern. The second came following a dunk in the fourth quarter for taunting and, by rule, Gunn was ejected. A player or coach who is ejected from a game must also miss the following game.

For Lawrence North, it is unfortunate timing. The Wildcats’ next game is Tuesday in Class 4A Sectional 10 at North Central against Crispus Attucks. If Lawrence North wins, Gunn would be eligible to play in the semifinal on Friday night against Warren Central.

Gunn, a 6-5 Indiana recruit, was playing his best basketball of the season. In 14 games since returning from a foot injury at the beginning of the season, Gunn his averaging 22.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and shooting 36% (32-for-89) from the 3-point line.

“He’d been playing so well,” Lawrence North coach Jack Keefer said. “We’ve been about as hot as any team around. This group really competes.”

Lawrence North (15-6) has won seven of nine games with the losses during that stretch coming to second-ranked Fishers and No. 4 Carmel.

The Wildcats played the first six games of the season without Gunn, who was recovering from a foot injury he suffered in practice. There are experienced players in seniors Mac Brown (8.9 ppg), Omar Cooper (8.7 ppg, 6.4 rebounds) and Danny Royster (5.0 ppg, 3.8 rebounds), along with sophomore Kobi Bowles (7.8 ppg, 3.2 assists) and freshman Azavier Robinson (8.6 ppg, 4.5 rebounds).

Lawrence North is the back-to-back defending sectional champion.

One of the 2 techs C. J. picked up last night.

 

He didn't get into a fight with a player, didn't get into it with a ref or a fan or a coach.

Nothing to see here other than a ferocious dunk

CJ posted it to his twitter so I am assuming someone told him to take it down.

Yeah, it's been deleted. It was a very weak technical, but I do wonder if the uptick in boys basketball game turned UFC Fight Nights around the state recently plays a part.

Very good point. I just hate that might be some of the reason a HS SR misses the first 1st rd of his last sectional. Jmo

just to support my opinion.. 

 

here is a video of Gabe Cupps. You'll notice his dunk at the 5:44 mark..... he gets a T after that for that silly look he gave to the other kid. If that's a T.... I just, I can't fathom why that should be a technical. This stuff happens regularly and this wasn't even in our state haha. 

Wow.  That was a total nothing.

38 pts.   Up 5 with 7 sec 
Missed the first half. Second half I would have liked to see him more aggressive. Most of the time he was just standing opposite the ball.
