Another chance to catch an eye AND improve ur stroke before June.

20K CHALLENGE: *Make* 20K 3-pointers before June 1 (7 wks off)

If u shoot 6 days/week, ur goal should be 400 makes/day to reach your goal of 20,000 MADE 3s.

Dylan Moles had the most makes last year at 17,500.

[BaumHoops @baumhoops]

Great coach. Better person.

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

Heard Mike Adams retired at Reitz after 457 W & 31 years. 2015 state finals appearance, 8 Sectionals. Evv hoops LEGEND. Made me feel old. My 1st HS gm vs Coach at Reitz. Friends ever since. In Dec, said he "wasnt going 2 be around forever." Spidey sense said 'snap a pic' ⤵️ (1/2)

Easy 5☆ @Rivals @247Sports

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

Heritage Hills 6'7 freshman SF Trent Sisley outperformed the lofty expectations placed upon his shoulders in just his 1st HS season. 19.9ppg, 9.2rpg, 1.6apg, 1.1spg, 1.3bpg; 60% on 2s, 40% on 3s, 80% FT. Plays w Indy Heat. Projecting him in 3-4 yrs is scary. IU, Purdue offers.

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

Prospects, send ur midseason highlights. Ill feature what I can. 90 sec max. Best plays, yes--also show what areas make u special: shooting, on-ball D, boards, toughness, etc. Purpose is 2 pique viewers interest 2 seek out more. Coaches say they 👀 0:45-1 min. Best stuff up front

[BaumHoops @baumhoops]

SHOOTER-SHOOTER: Sr Chad Cox 45% on 3s, Jr Brant Ertel 45% on 3s, Sr Bridger Bolos 43% on 3s, lead the way for Coach Foster.

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

Franklin Co. is one of the better stories in the state. 17-49 over last 3 years. First-yr coach Mark Foster has FC looking for win No. 16 & 17 this weekend at Greenfield-Cent and vs Cent Christian Sat. Potential Sectional match-up at Connersville in a week. 3A Sectional 29 is 💥

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

Not convinced every possession matters? Ben Davis is 14-5 -- 4 Ls by 6pts total.

Giants defend at a high level. Jr Sheridan Sharp has emerged as the best on-ball defender, 6'8 Jr Zane Doughty is the rim-protector (3.3 blocks), and 6'5 Jr Shaun Arnold is the junkyard dog... (1/2)

AP Polls for IHSAA Boys (12/14):

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

I turn 41 on Thursday. Only bday wish is that u might say a little prayer for my buddy Omarion. Good family. Coached "O" when he was a 6th grader. Should be hooping at Henderson Co. (KY) rt now. An illness and subsequent stroke have left "O" in a place no 16-yr old should be 🙏

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

Luke Brown is eligible at Ball State.

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

After 26 pts in a win over 4A Top-10 Bloomington South Tues, Barr-Reeve 6'4 Sr Hagen Knepp has interest from a handful of D-I school. Sizeable D-II/NAIA interest too. D-I UMKC scheduled in when 1A No. 1 BR faces 2A No. 1 C. Noble and Wisconsin-signee Conner Essegian at Southport.

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

Good time for my annual "shot clock" poll. As informal as it might be, still interesting to see the pulse.

"Cost aside, are you in favor of a shot clock in IHSAA hoops?"

[Nick Baumgart @Nick_Baumgart]

Evv Reitz 67, Evv North 36
Final

Panthers were impressive this evening, led by junior Isaac Higgs with 27. Gavin Schippert added 15. But it was Higgs confidence and leadership that stood out most. I caught up with Higgs and his coach, Mike Adams afterwards to get their thoughts.

Sullivan PG Randy Kelley is off to a great start to his senior season. He leads his squad at 22 ppg, 4.5 rpg, and 3 apg in 3 wins. Nice ceiling ahead. Collegiate interest from several levels at the moment.
