Game 4 (from yesterday):
Franklin Central scored the first 10 points of the game and, after a Decatur Central FG, added 8 straight to go up 18-2. They scored the last 10 points of the 1st qtr and the first 7 points of the 2nd qtr for an additional 17-pt run to extend their lead to 37-6. FC turned their aggressive defense into quick scores on the fast break; in the half court, they lit it up from beyond the arc against DC's zone with 14 3-pointers as well as reversing the ball multiple times to spread the defense & feed posts/cutters inside. Franklin Central wins convincingly, 79-25.
Sr Kent State commit Ashlee Baker (pictured, #11) buried 7 3-pointers for 21 points for Franklin Central, doing a good job of sliding to openings against the zone and using good footwork to get her shot away quickly. 6'3" sr Loyola-Chicago commit Payton DuVall (#34) routinely beat opposing posts down court, sprinting rim to rim for easy lay-ins or to establish early post position; she scored smoothly around the basket whether on the break, in the post, or on her short jumper off of dishes from driving teammates. DuVall was also intimidating defensively with her combination of height, length, and athleticism as she amassed 18 points, 5 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 blocked shots in less than 3 qtrs of play. Sr PG Riley Huotari (#20) was the straw that stirred the drink as she ran the show whether on the break or in the half court, setting up her teammates for easy baskets with 10 assists, while taking advantage of scoring opportunities as they arose for 7 points and picking up a team-high 4 steals defensively. FC's scoring depth was impressive as Sr Indiana Tech commit Briley Layton (8), 6' fr Jaydah Brewer (6), soph Audrey Lloyd (6), soph Journey Washington (5), and sr Indiana-Kokomo commit Carly Holmes (5) all scored between 5 and 8 points. Washington added 11 rebounds, while Holmes kicked in 6 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Layton and Lloyd each hit a pair of 3s.
For Decatur Central, jr Deriah Colbert and sr Grace Wright scored 7 points apiece, while 6' soph Annabella Ogbeide battled inside for a team-high 7 rebounds.

Game 3 (from yesterday):
Indianapolis North Central scored the first 14 points of the game and, after a Marion FG, added 10 straight to take a 24-2 lead still in the 1st qtr. They mixed a potent fast break game with a combination of 3-point shooting and interior play in the half court to cruise to a 75-33 victory.
6' soph Malyiah Evans (pictured, #24) scored smoothly going to the rim, hit a pair of 3s, dished out assists in transition, and was disruptive with her length defensively as she amassed 20 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals for North Central. Jr Halle Daniels (#4) set the tone defensively with her pressure on the ball, while hitting a trio of 3s and also scoring smoothly off the drive as she added 15 points. Soph Nevaeh Gant also hit a trio of 3s with 11 points. Sr post players 6'1" Roosevelt commit Kenleigh Schueller and 6'2" Nieah Jackson ran the floor well rim to rim, posted strong inside, and operated well in the pick & roll game. Schueller used her length to score smoothly inside on her way to 10 points. Jackson was intimidating defensively with 9 rebounds and 4 blocked shots to go with 4 points on the other end. Sr PG Laila Scott-Knox chipped in 7 points and 7 rebounds.
For Marion, 5'10" sr forward Jaylee Townsend played physical while battling with NC's posts inside all game and attacked the basket aggressively while tallying a 13-&-10 double-double. Fr Amiah Young-Dukes buried a trio of 3s for 11 points and added 3 assists.

Back to my Favorite Diner in Indiana and my Overall Favorite New (to me) Restaurant of 2026, the Liberty Diner in Fort Wayne, for one last meal before heading home. Today I went with the Corned Beef Hash Skillet (a bed of American fries topped with corned beef hash, onions, green peppers, cheese, and eggs) with Rye Toast. The server remembered me from Friday and brought me some of their smoky Spicy Salsa (not pictured) to put on top as well.
Game 2:
After Fort Wayne Snider scored the first 5 points of the game, Homestead put together a 16-0 run and later added a 12-pt run spanning the quarter break to go up 31-10. Homestead was still up by 26 points in the 4th before Snider scored the final 11 points of the game. Homestead beats Summit Conference rival Snider 63-48 in a ranked matchup.
Jr Delaney Noll (pictured, #4) and sr Indiana Tech commit Eva Scarbeary (#32) combined for 24 of Homestead's 25 1st qtr points, including 5 3-pointers, and 48 points with 8 3-pointers for the game. Noll was lights out from beyond the arc, inside the arc, and at the FT line; she hit 5 3-pointers and also finished 2 old-fashioned 3-pt plays in totaling 29 points. Scarbeary buried a trio of 3s and got to the rim to amass 19 points; she was disruptive defensively and active on the boards for game-highs of 8 rebounds and 3 steals. Jr Eastern Michigan commit Leah Werth added 9 points and 7 rebounds.
For Snider, jr Janaya Cooper was her usual dynamic self off the dribble as she tallied a game-high 17 points. Jr MacKenzie Carter hit a trio of 3s on her way to 14 points. Sr Gracie Smith came off the bench to hit a pair of 3s in adding 8 points.
