Chapman’s 27-Point Double-Double Fuels Evansville North’s 57-48 Win

Evansville North extended its late-season surge with a 57-48 road victory over city rival Evansville Memorial, a physical game that pushed the Huskies’ momentum into the postseason window. Senior forward Bryson Chapman was the catalyst, finishing with 27 points and a double-double to lead the North attack.

The game, played Feb. 25, 2026, saw Chapman carry the scoring load for Evansville North at Memorial's gym, converting from inside and drawing defensive attention that opened opportunities for his teammates. North converted enough possessions to build and protect a lead late, while Memorial settled for 48 points in the loss.

Chapman’s 27-point output stood well above the rest of the box score and was the defining storyline of the night. The senior forward’s double-double signaled control on the boards and on offense, giving the Huskies second-chance possessions and finishing plays in traffic that proved decisive in a one-possession game down the stretch.

Evansville North’s defense complemented Chapman’s scoring; holding Memorial to 48 points allowed North to manage the clock and make the plays necessary in the final minutes. The win was a measurable step as the Huskies enter the postseason window, reinforcing a late-season identity built around Chapman’s production and a stopping defense that limited Memorial’s scoring options.

With the regular season winding down, the Feb. 25 victory gives Evansville North a momentum boost headed into tournament play. Chapman’s 27-point double-double will be the performance coaches and opponents highlight as Memorial and surrounding sectional rivals prepare for postseason matchups against a Huskies team that closed the season on a high note.
