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.

Griffith 64 Twin Lakes 52
Championship: Griffith 62 South Bend St. Joseph 50
Blackford
Fort Wayne Dwenger 58 Hamilton Heights 53
