This week marked the start of tournament play in the Metro Indy Basketball Fall League. The week was highlighted by the debut of Sam Logwood. Logwood ended up with a few highlight reel tip-dunks along with overall impressive play.

The best performance of the week that I witnessed was from Tyler Alderman. Alderman had a 36 point performance in the first tournament game. He not only played a great offensive game, but he also guarded Collin Hartman. Hartman ended up with only 9 points.

Here are some other player notes:

Sunday was the final week of the Metro Indy Fall Basketball League at the Noblesville Boys & Girls Club. There were three championships: A (top 2 in pools), B (3^rd and 4^th in pool), and JV.

Coach Gentry’s team arrived in the championship game of the B bracket behind 40 points from Evansville-commit D.J. Balentine. Balentine had 9 3-pointers in the semi-final game. Balentine continued his dominance in the championship game. Balentine went for 27 in the final as Derrick Gentry’s team beat Brandon Mayse’s squad.

In the A bracket, Ramon Stallings team led by Eron Harris and Petey Balls were the only undefeated team in the regular season of the league. Team Stallings advanced to the championship game by beating Team Andershock 60-51. Harris had a 10-point run by himself in the third quarter. Balls and Jalen McCallum also played very well for Coach Stallings. Jaylon Brown scored 16 points for Team Andershock in the loss.

The other A semi-final matched Sherron Wilkerson’s team against Duke Pryor’s squad. Wilkerson’s team was headlined by Jared Drew and Darryl Baker while Pryor’s team had the Warren Central duo of Devin Davis and Brent Calhoun. This game was a defensive battle which is unheard of in a fall league. Wilkerson’s team edged out Team Pryor to advance to face Team Stallings in the championship of the A bracket.
