* Danville got an easy win over Northview, 61-29. Sophomore Tyler Hall led the Warriors with 19 points, while 6'10 junior Purdue recruit Travis Carroll had 15 points and 13 rebounds.

* South Bend Riley prevented South Bend Adams from sharing the conference title with Clay thanks to a big comeback win in which they prevailed 59-48. Marcus Pittman led Riley with 19 points on five treys and Larry King had 18 points, including 12 of them in the decisive fourth quarter.

* Gary Roosevelt guard Demonte Walker nailed the game-winning three with four seconds to play, giving them the win over South Bend Washington. Stephan Jenkins led Roosevelt with 26 points, and Walker added nine. Kennis White led Washington with 22 points in the loss.
