2 IU targets Sydney Parrish ('20)  of Carmel and Amy Dilk ('18) of Carmel battled last night.

CARMEL — Hamilton Southeastern coach Chris Huppenthal knew what his team was up against when the Class 4A No. 7 Royals faced top-ranked Carmel on Friday afternoon. When the game finished, there was just one question left — who isgoing to beat the Greyhounds?

The Royals came in averaging 78 points per game. Carmel held them to nearly half that total, winning 53-43.

“Amy Dilk is one of the best guards in the state,” Huppenthal said. “Blake Smith is one the best post players in the state. You have a shooter in (Tomi) Taiwo, (Jasmine) McWilliams comes in and is athletic and can shoot it.

“They’re the best team in the state for a reason. I don’t know who’s gonna be good enough to beat them. They just have too many weapons.”

Carmel played up to its billing during the first half. The Greyhounds jumped out to a 21-11 lead after one quarter and took a 39-21 lead into the locker room. The Royals shot just 8-of-23 from the floor in the half.

Royals freshman Sydney Parrish, who averages nearly 17 points per contest, was held scoreless in the first half and finished with seven points.

“Defensively I thought they did a good job on her,” Huppenthal said. “She was struggling to find seams at times and where to make the next pass. That’s going to come with learning.”

For Carmel, Dilk had 12 in the first half and finished with 19. Taiwo also had 10 points in the first half.

“There’s a lot of good players,” Carmel’s Tod Windlan said. “We’ve got six or seven kids that can probably get 20. When we get rolling like we did in the first half, we’re really good and fun to watch.”

Taiwo said the team’s unselfishness pays dividends.

“The nice thing about having a team with a bunch of assets and people who can play well is, instead of just focusing on yourself and saying, ‘I’m gonna score 20 each game,’ you can work the ball around,” she said. “Everyone can either shoot or post up the bigs.”

As good as Carmel was in the first half, it struggled to gain traction in the second half. Hamilton Southeastern cut the deficit to six points with 3:20 to go as Bre Lloyd started heating up. She scored 11 points in the second half and 14 in the contest, but Carmel was able to withstand the Royals' rally and ice the game at the free-throw line.

Carmel has faced tough competition early in the season, with games against ranked foes Heritage Christian and Zionsville. It has passed every test, winning every game by at least 10 points.

More talented teams are waiting, but the blueprint for success has been established.

“Right now, we think we have good potential,” Taiwo said. “But as we keep going and as we play even higher-caliber teams, we’ll know how far we can go.”

INDIANAPOLIS — Don't let Amy Dilk's two-basket, 10-point performance Saturday fool you. Sure, it was well below her season average (17.0), but the Carmel senior's complete effort, which produced a triple-double, led the Greyhounds to a 63-47 win over Center Grove at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

“I honestly didn’t know I had a triple-double until the end of the game,” said Dilk, who also had 12 assists and 12 rebounds. “We don’t care about who scores the points as we’re all capable of scoring.”

FISHERS – Carmel coach Tod Windlan said Amy Dilk played “ho-hum” through the first two sectional games.  “You can’t play ho-hum tonight,” he told her.  Her response? “I’m ready.”  he backed up her words, scoring a game-high 24 points and leading Class 4A No. 5 Carmel to a 62-57 win and a sectional title over No. 6 Hamilton Southeastern.  Dilk scored half of her team’s points in the final period and hit five of her six free throws in the closing minutes.   Dilk was 7-13 from the field and 10-13 on FT's.
