Many familiar faces are gone for Columbus North, but Josh Speidel returns to lead the Bulldogs. North went 20-6 last year behind Speidel, Elliott Welmer and Evan Henry. Nearly 30 points per game are gone with the graduation of Welmer and Henry. Columbus North is Indiana Basketball Source's preseason number 25 team regardless of class.

McCutcheon has posted back to back 15 or more win seasons. The Mavericks look to make it a third straight year with a veteran group of guards like Tre'Shon Heard, Darnell Butler and Dionte Nunn.
