NEW MARKET — What a season it has been for the Southmont boys basketball team. The Mounties ended the regular season with a record of 16-6 — their most since the 2012-13 season.

Athenians win regular season thriller over Trojans
COVINGTON – Covington (16-6) celebrated senior night looking to send them out with a victory on their final game on the home court. Just as it appeared they were going to do that the Athenian (17-5) seniors came through for Crawfordsville propelling them to a hard fought 75-71 victory over the Trojans. “We did not get off to a good start,” said Athenian head coach David Pierce. “Our seniors found a way to win on the road in a hostile environment at Covington against a great t
Mounties drop second straight tough road game
Indianapolis - For the second night in a row, Southmont had to swallow a bitter basketball pill with a close, physical, 60-58 loss to Indiana Math and Science Academy. Trailing big early, the Mounties, who fall to 16-6 as they close the regular season, came back from that deficit and had as much as a seven-point lead in the fourth quarter, only to have the Knights, who move to 15-8, find a bucket or block a shot. Like Tuesday’s loss at Parke Heritage, a tough road environment

Mounties drop physical road game to Wolves
ROCKVILLE – There is a lot of tournament basketball to be played next week, but a Parke Heritage 46-43 win over Southmont should help ticket sales leading up to the tournament with the possibility of a rematch. The Wolves won their sixth in a row with a rough and tumble win over the Mounties, who fall to 16-5 with the loss, while PH moves to 14-9. The two teams are in opposite brackets, and have to win twice, but both teams gave the Senior Night crowd at the old Rockadome a t
Chargers drop road contest to high-powered Cougars
BAINBRIDGE – Before a minutes had passed in Tuesday night’s boys’ basketball game between North Putnam and North Montgomery, Ellis Lyons had dropped two threes and set the tone for senior night. The Cougars were up by double-digits after a quarter and out of sight by halftime, rolling the Chargers 71-35. Lyons’ pair of triples to start the game forced an early timeout from the visitors while a third from the same player made it 12-2. Jarrod Kirsch hit one of his two threes in

Wabash seniors leading Little Giants in historic season
Jack Hegwood, Kellen Schreiber, Tyler Watson, and Jack Davidson have led Wabash basketball in what has been a historic season for the Little Giants. The group will arguably go down as one of the greatest senior classes to ever come through the program.

They are enjoying the fruits of four (or in one case five) years of hard work and d
