2015 Indiana High School Basketball State Tournament: Regional Scores

The field in Indiana has now officially gone from 64 to 16 teams and the semi-state matchups are set for next week. It was a rough day for Purdue's commitments. Both Ryan Cline and Grant Weatherford saw their high school careers end with losses today, as you will see below:

CLASS 4A

Michigan City

South Bend Riley              71           Northridge          56

Crown Point       58           Munster              50

Championship: South Bend Riley              77           Crown Point       74

This was a big surprise, as Riley will go into the semi-state with a losing record of 12-14, which is rare. They even lost to Kokomo earlier in the year, and my Kats had a very rough season.

Marion

Homestead        59           Carroll (Fort Wayne)       57

Carmel  60           McCutcheon      44

Championship:  Homestead        41           Carmel  37

Caleb Swanigan ends the HS career of Ryan Cline as Carmel is denied a shot at a third state title in four years. Swanigan had 18 points and 8 rebounds in the come-from-behind morning win over Carroll. Cline had 16 points and only hit two threes in the win over McCutcheon in the morning session. In the night game Swanigan again had 18 points with 11 rebounds, while Cline's career ended with 21 points and nine rebounds.

Southport

Richmond            78           Pike       66

Brownsburg       47           Lawrence North                 44

Championship:  Richmond           71           Brownsburg       65

KJ Walton, who once had Purdue interest, had 19 points in the win over Lawrence North, while 2018 prospect (with a Purdue offer) bows out. This one had highlights.

Richmond won its first regional since 1992 when they won their lone state title with some guy named Chad Austin.

Seymour

Franklin Central                52           Bloomington South         50

Evansville Reitz 64           New Albany       59

Championship:  Evansville Reitz 83           Franklin Central                69

Reitz moves on as the state's No. 1 team and will play Richmond next week, likely at Richmond.
