Paul Loggan Invitational – Day 2 Recap

Day 2 of the Paul Loggan Invitational delivered everything you want from a showcase: explosive starts, defensive identity statements, underdog grit, and multiple players elevating their stock. Each matchup brought its own storyline, but the common thread was intensity — teams didn’t just compete, they responded.

Game 1: Pike vs Park Tudor

Final: Pike — Dominant Start, Chaotic Finish

Pike wasted no time asserting control, exploding for 27 first‑quarter points and closing the frame on an 11–0 run after briefly trailing 15–16. Their pressure defense was overwhelming early — 8 forced turnovers, with half of them coming during that run, plus 7 offensive rebounds that kept Park Tudor on their heels.

By halftime, Pike led 42–28, and while they continued to score efficiently in the second half (20+ in both quarters), their own sloppiness crept in with 12 of their 17 turnovers coming after the break.

The defensive anchor was junior standout Isaiah Hill, who put on one of the best rim‑protection displays of the event. His 5 blocks, including three straight in the third quarter, completely changed possessions. Pike as a team racked up 13 steals, 6 blocks, and forced 19 turnovers. Pike defeated Park Tudor 86-72.

Pike Standouts

• Landon Lampley: 18 pts, 3 reb, 2 ast, 3 stl, 1 blk

• Isaiah Hill: 16 pts, 13 reb, 2 ast, 5 blk, 2 stl

• Kenneth Lampley: 11 pts, 2 reb, 2 ast

• Jahari Miller: 10 pts, 3 reb, 4 ast, 2 stl

Park Tudor – The Most Impressive Underdog of the Event

Despite being a 2A program, Park Tudor made both North Central and Pike uncomfortable — and that says a lot. Against Pike, it was a tale of two halves:

• 28 points in the first half

• 44 points in the second half

Their fight was undeniable. Down 34–58, they ripped off a 13–0 run to cut it to 47–58. Later, trailing 55–75, they responded again with a 12–4 run to make it 67–79.

Three players stood out for their toughness and identity:

• Miles Wiley – fearless driver who attacked regardless of who was in front of him

• Keylan Smith – relentless on the glass and disruptive in passing lanes

• Griffyn Robisch – stretch‑big who shot confidently and efficiently from deep

This is a team that will be a problem for 2A opponents.

Park Tudor Standouts

• Griffyn Robisch: 18 pts (4–6 3PT), 6 reb

• Miles Wiley: 16 pts, 4 ast

• Keylan Smith: 16 pts, 3 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl

Game 2: Lake Central vs Carmel

Final: Carmel — Runs, Discipline, and Defense

This matchup featured two teams with similar offensive philosophies — ball movement, reversals, and patience. But Carmel separated themselves with timely runs:

• 9–0 run in the 1st

• 7–0 run in the 2nd

• 9–0 run in the 4th

Defensively, Carmel was outstanding, holding Lake Central under double‑digits in two quarters (9 in the 1st, 6 in the 4th) and forcing 15 turnovers.

Cash Daniels controlled the game with poise, facilitating 7 of Carmel’s 12 assists. Aiden Dickerson’s 5 offensive rebounds were momentum‑shifting, and Evan Harrell was nearly automatic, shooting 10–12 (83%). Carmel defeated Lake Central 58-45

Carmel Standouts

• Evan Harrell: 20 pts, 5 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl

• Cash Daniels: 13 pts, 4 reb, 2 stl

• Julian Vogt: 13 pts

Lake Central – A Strong Bounce‑Back Performance

Lake Central looked like a different team on Day 2. They stayed within striking distance for three quarters and repeatedly created chances to take the lead.

Key moments included:

• Back‑to‑back threes from Evan Galler and Cooper Kroncke to tie the game at 18–18

• A turnover‑forced and‑1 from Noah Enyeart to cut it to 24–25

• A massive buzzer‑beater three from Jakob Billmeyer to end the third

Their offensive execution was sharper, and several players stepped into their roles confidently.

Lake Central Standouts

• Jakob Billmeyer: 12 pts, 2 stl

• Cooper Kroncke: 10 pts, 2 reb, 2 stl

• Evan Galler: 10 pts, 2 reb, 4 ast

• Noah Enyeart: 7 pts, 4 reb, 4 ast

Game 3: Jeffersonville vs North Central

Final: Jeffersonville — Zone Defense Wins the Day

Jeffersonville’s biggest weapon wasn’t a player — it was their defensive versatility. Their switch from man to zone completely disrupted North Central’s rhythm. In the 2nd and 3rd quarters, North Central scored just:

• 9 points in the 2nd

• 8 points in the 3rd

During that stretch, NC shot 5/13 from two (38%) and 1/7 from three (14%).

Jeffersonville also lived at the line, going 17/22 (77%), and made timely plays:

• Cash Whitehead opened the 2nd with a personal 5–0 run and later hit a clutch corner three in the 4th.

• Jacob Wilkerson relentlessly attacked the paint, going 7/8 FT

Jeffersonville defeated North Central 59-57.

Jeffersonville Standouts

• Cash Whitehead: 19 pts, 2 reb, 2 ast, 2 stl

• Jacob Wilkerson: 15 pts, 5 reb

• Aiden Toler: 13 pts, 2 reb, 3 ast

North Central – Right There Until the End

North Central had every opportunity to win. They opened with an impressive 18‑point first quarter, including a 10–2 run, and later scored 22 in the 4th to nearly steal it. Senior Gabriel Grosfeld even had a near‑game‑winning three at the buzzer.

Their downfall was simple and brutal:

• 2–17 from three (12%)

• 15–28 from the line (54%)

Despite that, their effort on the glass (12 offensive rebounds) and balanced scoring kept them alive.

North Central Standouts

• Bryce Harris: 13 pts, 2 reb

• Antonio McFarland: 12 pts, 6 reb, 2 ast

• Gabriel Grosfeld: 12 pts, 7 reb

• David Smith: 12 pts, 5 reb
