Luers versus Brownstown Central

Each of the State Finals games has a favorite, to be sure, but none moreso that Bishop Luers. The Knights are set to face Brownstown Central, who pulled off a ten-point upset against Winchester, preventing the Golden Falcons from getting a rematch against the team that beat them in the Finals last season. Luers is possibly the best team in the entire state and have a bevy of talent including 6'7 junior Deshaun Thomas, a top ten national player committed to Ohio State, and senior guard Lawrence Barnett, an IU football recruit. They are one of the highest scoring teams in the state and play a fantastic schedule, including games against Lawrence North, Snider, and Chicago Curie. Brownstown is not being given much of a chance in the 2A game, but that doesn't mean they don't have any talent, or that they lack confidence. They have two solid bigs, including 6'7 junior Taylor Wischmeier and 6'6 senior Blaze Ayers, who combine for nearly thirty points a game. Here is a recent article on the 2A game. Enjoy!
