The Brownsburg boys basketball team was behind 21-3 to start the game and could not recover, losing to Noblesville 54-41. Kurtis Runyon scored 18 points to lead the Bulldogs. It was a physical game as at least three players were removed from the game for short time for blood. Torrey Nibbs added 8 points for BBurg while Scott Hathaway scored 7. Brownsburg is now 3-12 for the season. They host Westfield next Friday night.
The Brownsburg girls basketball team has a huge HCC game tonight at Fishers. A BBurg win and a Lafayette Jeff loss would give the Bulldogs the conference title. My prediction is a 47-45 win for BBurg. The Massey ratings say that Fishers will win 52-47. Fishers is 10th in the Massey Ratings while Brownsburg is 20th. Brownsburg is 2-4 against the top 32 teams in Massey and Fishers is 2-2 against that same group. Sagarin gives a 4 point advantage to Fishers. It should be a great game.

Both Brownsburg teams face tough conference battles this weekend
The Brownsburg boys basketball team (3-11) travels to 10-2 Noblesville tonight for a matchup at the Mill. Sagarin says that the margin will be 27 points for the Millers. I think it will be closer to 20, with a score of 60-40.
On Saturday night, the girls basketball team will travel to Fishers in a game that could decide the HCC conference title. A Brownsburg win combined with a Lafayette Jeff loss would give the Bulldogs the outright conference title. Any other combination would give the title to the Bronchos. Sagarin says the margin will be 3 points for Fishers. Using common opponents, I say the Bulldogs win by two, 47-45.
Lance Lynn has been given a non-roster invite to the St. Louis Cardinals spring training.
Drew Storen was ranked #40 in MLB Network's top 50 prospects. Storen has also been given a non-roster invite to spring training.

HCC conference up for grabs and Fletcher finally makes the pro bowl
The Brownsburg girls basketball team can win the HCC title on Saturday, but it needs a strong showing on the road at Fishers and some help from Noblesville. Here are the current leaders in the conference:
Lafayette Jeff 7-1
Brownsburg 7-1
Westfield 6-2
Fishers 6-2 (assuming that they beat 0-17 Harrison tonight)
If Jeff wins against Noblesville and Brownsburg defeats Fishers on Saturday, they win the title due to their defeat of Brownsburg a few weeks ago. I don't know the tie-breakers in the HCC, but here is my best guess. If both Brownsburg and Jeff lose while Westfield and Fishers win, all four teams are 7-2. Using the records between the 4 teams against each other, Fishers and Jeff would be 2-1, BBurg and Westifled would be 1-2. Jeff beat Fishers in the regular season, so they would win the title, I would assume. The Lafayette Journal-Courier stated last week that the Bronchos have clinched at least a share of the HCC title, but that is not entirely correct. A Brownsburg win against Fishers, along with a loss by Jeff would give Brownsburg the outright title.
In football news, the Susan Lucci of linebackers, Washington's London Fletcher, finally made the pro bowl. He was one of the leading tacklers this decade and has never missed a game in 12 years. He will join rookie Brian Orapko as the other Redskins representative in the game on Sunday. Congratulations London!!!!

Brownsburg girls team continues winning while the boys team continues to lose
Brownsburg's girls basketball team continued their march towards a possible HCC title by defeating a 16-1 Westfield team 54-35. The game was close at the half as BBurg held a 25-18 lead, but a strong 14-4 third quarter by the Bulldogs put the game away. BBurg was quicker in the post, led by Stephanie Mavunga's 21 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 blocked shots. Forwards Lindsey Dall (12 points, 6-10 FG) and Leah Freestone (7 rebs) also contributed to the domination in the paint. Morgan Miller and Alaura McKemie controlled the game from the guard position and eventually wore down Westfield's perimeter defense. McKemie hit her only shot of the game, which was a three pointer. Miller had 3 assists and 3 rebounds. The depth of the Bulldogs also helped and they went 9 deep, while Westfield only played 7 players. Brownsburg is tied with Lafayette Jeff at 7-1 in the conference with 1 game remaining. Brownsburg travels to Fishers on Saturday night while Jeff hosts Noblesville that same night.
The boys team had a chance to win at McCutcheon on Friday night, but could not close the deal as they lost 46-44. The Dogs were ahead 33-25 with a minute left in the third quarter and led 37-26 early in the fourth quarter. However, the Mavericks closed the game with a 20-7 run, including two free throws with 5 seconds remaining to clinch the victory. Kurtis Runyon led the Dogs with 14 points. Jacob Eldridge and Tyler Whetstone contributed 8 points each. Torrey Nibbs did not play. Brownsburg is now 3-11. They travel to Noblesville on Friday night to face a 9-2 Millers squad.
