I was shocked to see this story. I have no connections to Broad Ripple whatsoever, but I still had to fight back tears when I read this especially when I read the parents had lost 2 children in a fire a few years back. That family has been through alot. My thoughts are with them.

Broad Ripple basketball player Jamison dies of cancer

Lots of talk on the boys side, but not much here. Wondering who everyone thought would be the top 3 or 4 teams in each class in your area.

The Loogootee Lions basketball program has taken a few hits as of the last week:

1. Scott Reid (AD) is leaving to coach baseball at North Posey. He is going to be missed.
2. One of the best coaches in the program is stepping away for good. Coach K will be missed as he was the man that taught the basics in basketball.

I guess if they would have hired Josh Thompson they would not be looking for another AD, again. I guess they might just give it to someone that is already employed by the school to save more money. Good move, I doubt it. Oh well, I guess we can always use the old saying, "Wait Till Next Year"

What do they do about the 7th grade coaching position? Who knows, but this is going to be some BIG shoes to try and fill.

This info is coming from the "Downtown Coaches Assoc" so I am not sure that #2 is true or not. We all know that we are not suppose to base everythingon sports, but LHS is taken some HUGE hits as of lately. I guess we will have to wait and see how the program will adjust to the changes.

I don't know much about this kid, but if Painter is offering him before his soph year, he must be a player. Painter is one step ahead of Crean again.

Purdue appears in good position with Fort Wayne guard

Terre Haute North's Justin Gant verbally committed to ISU tonight in an interview on WTHI-TV.

has there been a coach hired at turkey run yet? also has the mauherin girl transfered to turkey run or is she staying at rockville?

DeSeaun Thomas is gone from Luers....who is the 2A champ gonna be? I think North Judson could be a dark horse....thoughts?

Word has it that Delray Brooks has left LaPorte LaLumiere and Alan Huss has left CMA to fill that vacant position. I was told from an extremely reliable source that any new player to CMA that wasn't a freshman wasn't going to be eligible to play. Not sure how that would work since it happens basically evrywhere else. It would appear that LL could possibly be turned into the next basketball academy since they are not an IHSAA school. Best of luck to Coach Huss. In the couple of face to face encounters that I have had with him he has been a hospitable guy.

Kellen Dunham, Pendleton Heights Junior to be, is a 2012 verbal to the Butler Bulldogs. Congrats Kellen!

Woooe Did anyone see this one coming? Wow that is devastating for carmel basketball fans and the team in general. If you ask me though its a great move by hammons. He needed more attention and now he will be able to get alot better than i think he would have in the situation at carmel with the new coach and all. http://www.indystar.com/article/20100703/S...r-junior-season
