Crispus Attucks edges Guerin Catholic 71-69 in tight varsity win

Crispus Attucks held off a late charge from Guerin Catholic to take a 71-69 victory on Wednesday, Jan. 14 at the varsity level. The two-point finish left little margin for error and handed the Attucks program a hard-fought win that will matter as the midseason grind continues.

The MaxPreps entry for the game lists the box score and a short team recap, recording basic scoring and game-highs for both sides. Coaches, scouts and fans who want the blow-by-blow account can review the full play-by-play and detailed individual statistics on the MaxPreps game page. That detailed breakdown is a practical resource for anyone tracking minutes, rotations, plus-minus and late-game decision making (maxpreps.com/in/indianapolis/indianapolis-crispus-attucks-tigers/basketball/).

From a community perspective, a two-point home win like this does more than pad the W column. Close contests sharpen a roster’s execution under pressure, reveal which players step up in end-of-game situations, and provide film and numbers for college recruiters and local scouts to evaluate. Parents and alumni will note the resiliency on display, while coaches from surrounding schools will study substitutions and matchups that determined the final minutes.

The box score and game-highs recorded on the team page give a snapshot of who produced on both ends, and the play-by-play supplies the sequence of key possessions that decided the outcome. That level of detail helps players and coaches turn the game into a teaching tool: identifying where turnovers happened, which defensive sets caused mismatches, and how free-throw opportunities were managed in crunch time.

For fans who follow Indiana high school hoops, this result keeps the conversation lively about which programs are building momentum for the postseason. It also reinforces the value of tracking individual-game stats throughout the season; performances in tight games often shape all-conference and postseason seedings.

What comes next for both teams is regular-season work: practice corrections, film sessions, and applying lessons from a two-point game where every possession counted. For anyone doing the homework on prospects or scouting future matchups, the MaxPreps page offers the detailed numbers to inform those next moves.
