Update on Thursday Six Pack: Results!

1. Bloomington South 84 - Decatur Central 72 - The Panthers put the finishing touches on a perfect regular season by beating the Hawks and all comers, rolling to a 20-0 record heading into Sectional play. IU signee Jordan Hulls once again played a spectacular game, controlling the tempo and scoring a game-high 21 points, including four treys. Sophomore guard Spencer Turner was also hot from outside, knocking in five three pointers on his way to 18 points. The Hawks (16-4) played admirably and competed hard, as they have done all season long, but it wasn't enough in the end. They were led by Alex Dye with 19 points, and Blake Beasley scored 16 points, hitting four threes.

2. Lafayette Jeff 56 - Hamilton Southeastern 54 - A three-pointer from Roddy Richardson with only seconds remaining gave the Bronchos (16-7) the win and a hope of sharing the conference title, if McCutcheon is able to beat Zionsville tonight. The Royals (13-7) jumped on Jeff early, leading 15-2 and by as many as 17 points in the first half, but the Bronchos chipped away until finally pulling it out. Richardson led Jeff with 19 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. Big bruiser Shane Wyant added eight points and 14 boards, and junior Jesse Berry scored 11 points. Royals forward Charlie Duffy had a double-double with 20 points and 16 rebounds.

3. Anderson 95 - Chatard 61 - The Indians (17-4) gave coach Ron Hecklinski his first season going undefeated at the Wigwam with a blowout win over the Trojans (9-10). In his 16 years as head coach, this was the first time that the Indians were able to hold serve in all their home games in the legendary arena. Daniel Froedge led Anderson with 34 points, going 13 for 15 from the field, attacking aggressively the entire night. Troy Taylor notched a double-double from the Indians with 22 points and 12 rebounds.

4. Roncalli 61 - Speedway 53 - The Rebels (15-5) got 27 points from senior guard Aaron Evans with 13 of them coming in the decisive third quarter, in which Roncalli outscored Speedway (10-9) by a 19-11 margin. That eight points was the total difference in the game. The Sparkplugs, the West Central Conference champions, were led by Michael Hubbard, who had 16 points with four treys.

5. Evansville Harrison 78 - Evansville Mater Dei 53 - In front of Southern Illinois head coach Chris Lowery, a Harrison alumni, the Warriors (15-5) put on a show and secured the Southern Indiana Conference title. Led by senior guard Kendal Brown, himself an SIU recruit and Lowery's cousin, Harrison was able to hand Mater Dei (11-10) their seventh loss in their last nine games. Brown led the charge with 19 points on the night, moving him past Warrior and Hoosier legend Calbert Cheaney into third place all-time on Harrison's scoring list. Brown was already the school's career leader in assists, and he set the unofficial mark for steals in a season last night as well. Not a bad night!

6. South Central (Union Mills) 50 - Boone Grove 46 - Still searching for individual scoring on this one.
