2018 Indiana High School Basketball State Tournament: Regional Semifinal Scores

Of today’s 48 games, 32 are complete. The regional semifinals are always a high pressure round, as you don’t want to look ahead to the night game, but you also don’t want to use up too much energy because you might have to play again. It also makes for great crowds with four schools at one location.

In today’s semifinals we had two commits and several targets playing, so here is who will come back tonight for the regional finals and who is out.

CLASS 4A

Michigan City

Elkhart Memorial 67, Valparaiso 60 OT

He will enter next season with 1,522 career points. 2019 target Keion Brooks had 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocks. I’ll have a separate comprehensive report on him later, but he was impressively athletic.
