Fisher's 15 Lifts Carroll to 56-53 Win Over Bishop Luers, Sixth Straight

Brody Fisher paced Carroll with 15 points and eight rebounds, going 7-for-13 from the floor, as the Chargers escaped a late scare and beat Fort Wayne Bishop Luers 56-53 at Carroll High on Feb. 27. The victory pushed Carroll's winning streak to six games and moved the Chargers to 14-9 on the season.

Dominic Keferl added 10 points and seven rebounds for Carroll while the team finished with 11 assists, a level of ball movement the program has equated with success — Carroll is 11-4 when it records 11 assists in a game. The Chargers "made it a nail-biter" down the stretch but managed to close out possession and preserve the lead in a tight final sequence.

Bishop Luers countered with a pair of standout performances. Zen Szaferski shot 67 percent from the field to finish with 17 points, six rebounds and five assists, and Ayle Taylor contributed 15 points and six rebounds on a 6-for-15 night. Despite those efforts and what the box score reflected as a true team offensive push, the Knights came up three points short and dropped to 12-11.

The game carried added sting for Carroll: the Chargers avenged a previous 70-48 loss to Bishop Luers earlier this season, turning that earlier defeat into a motivation point for a late-season surge. Prior to Friday, Carroll had already won five straight games, a stretch in which they outscored opponents by an average of 10.2 points; the Norwell, Homestead and Northrop results that propelled that run remained fresh as the team extended the streak to six.

Carroll's recent run is visible in their last six results: 02/27/26 vs Fort Wayne Bishop Luers — 56-53; 02/24/26 @ Norwell — 60-45; 02/20/26 @ Homestead — 48-46; 02/13/26 vs Fort Wayne Northrop — 53-37; 02/10/26 @ Fort Wayne North Side — 53-42; 02/05/26 vs Huntington North — 54-47. That sequence shows the Chargers winning a mix of close finishes and comfortable margins, with Friday's game falling squarely into the close-win category.

Looking ahead, Carroll is scheduled to meet Fort Wayne Snider at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, while Bishop Luers does not have any more games on the slate as of now. Local coverage framed the Carroll result as taking place in the final week of the regular season and as momentum-building heading into postseason play; the Chargers will carry the six-game streak and a reliance on Fisher's production and team passing into their next test.
