The Brownsburg boys basketball team finished their season last night with a 59-48 loss to Manual in sectional play. The Dogs hung tough for a while as they were down only 1 point going into the fourth quarter, but Butler recruit Chrishawn Hopkins led a fourth quarter charge that put the game away. Hopkins scored 32 for Manual which was similar to the 31 points that he scored against Brownsburg in the regular season Redskin victory. Bburg was led by Micha Whetstone's 16 points and 4 three-pointers. He was the only player in double figures for the Dogs. Brownsburg finishes the season with a record of 5-16.
There were some big upsets in the 4A tourney last night. Southport, a team that had once lost 13 straight games and carried a 4-15 record, beat 4A #5 Center Grove 72-69. At Carmel, 4A #8 Zionsville was defeated by Noblesville 47-42.
Spring training games began yesterday as the Braves lost to the Mets 4-2. Tommy Hanson pitched two scoreless while striking out three. Phenom Jason Heyward singled, walked twice, and stole a base to show that he is a force to be reckoned with.
In football, the MAC has released its conference schedule and Ball State has one game on the ESPN family of networks next season. The game is on Friday November 12th at Buffalo on ESPNU. The Cardinals are one of three MAC schools that are only on ESPN once. Of course, after a 2-10 season, there isn't much reason to put them on TV. BSU starts out at home against SE Missouri State and Liberty, then faces a brutal stretch of road games at Purdue, Iowa, and Central Michigan. All home games are on Saturday with the exception of the usual Thursday opening night game.
