Welcome back, hoops fans! P-Hoops was out and about all Christmas break, but being on the road so much didn't allow for any write ups. Apologies. I did see Yogi Ferrell in action over break and came away impressed, but that will have to wait till another time. Many Indiana high schools are already back in session, so this week is full of many great games, a few of which tip off tonight! Let's take a brief look at some of the best games across Indiana for Tuesday night.
Lawrence Central (5-1) vs. Bowman Academy (4-4)
The Bears will likely be shaking off the rust as they've been off since December 21, and they come back to a tall task. IU commit Jeremy Hollowell leads the LC charge and has been putting up great numbers despite being the focal point of all opposing defenses. Bowman has a bevy of D1 talent, most notably 6'6 senior forward DeJuan Marrero, a DePaul signee. Travelling to the Region accompanied with the long layoff will make this a tough one for Coach Shelt and the Bears.
Lawrence North (3-3) vs. Warren Central (6-2)
Perennial 4A power Lawrence North has fallen on some hard times this year with an inability to score the ball despite having some big time talent. Senior guards Eron Harris (WVU) and Petey Balls (NIU) lead the Wildcats, who are looking to get back in the win column after losing to Guerin Catholic all the way back on December 16. Greg Graham's Warriors are rolling of late, beating Region powers Munster and Bowman Academy in holiday tournament action. Warren Central is led by 6'6 junior forward Devin Davis, an IU recruit who has played his best ball of late. Home court should aid the Warriors.
Cathedral (5-2) vs. Indianapolis Northwest (4-2)
The Irish visit IPS power Northwest in an Indy area match up. Cathedral dropped a New Year's Eve game to Bowman 49-46, and they are out for a fresh start led by 6'5 senior wing Jared Drew (SLU) and 6'6 junior shooter Collin Hartman (IU). Northwest had a big time win in the IPSAC/Midwest Shootout against Evansville Bosse and Jaquan Lyle, and are looking to continue their strong play. Lamar recruit Donnell Minton, a senior point guard, leads the way for the Space Pioneers. Should be a chance for Northwest to gauge how good they truly are.

My son texted me to watch the game with him. I told him that I can't make it and ask for his mother to be with him. When I came home, my son was so inspired that he told me that he would practice basketball and become a superstar in the near future. I didn't even think that would be the effect of the game to him. LOL!
