Two overtime games provided the headline Wednesday as midseason league play intensified across Indiana high school boys basketball. Indpls Attucks rallied in extra time to claim a 74-69 win over Indpls Washington, while visiting T.F. North of Illinois escaped with a 79-76 overtime victory at Hammond Central. Those tight finishes underscored the thin margins that separate teams jockeying for sectional positioning and late-season momentum.

Indpls Attucks and Indpls Washington combined for a fast, physical contest that needed five extra minutes to decide. Indpls Attucks pulled away in the closing moments of overtime to secure the five-point margin. At Hammond Central, T.F. North converted late possessions in overtime to finish with a three-point road win in a cross-state matchup that will be remembered for tense end-of-game situations.

Elsewhere on the schedule, Fort Wayne North posted a convincing 78-58 victory over Leo, led by a high-scoring halfcourt attack that opened a comfortable lead early. Fort Wayne Snider handled East Noble 70-41, while Westview dismantled Garrett 70-27 in a game defined by defensive pressure and efficient scoring. Martinsville cruised past Indian Creek 72-45, and Michigan City Marquette beat Morgan Township 63-41, both programs asserting depth and balance against smaller school opponents.

Franklin Central dominated Indpls Perry Meridian 54-24 in a defensive clinic, and Whiteland-area Hebron topped Wheeler 68-42. In northern Indiana, South Bend St. Joseph's defeated Hanover Central 75-65, and Michigan City area play featured decisive wins from several established programs. Knox blanketed Oregon-Davis 49-34, while DeKalb handled West Noble 51-35. Bowman edged Illiana Christian High School 58-44, and Indpls Chatard posted a 74-54 victory over Covenant Christian.

A handful of games were postponed, affecting midweek schedules and travel plans. Indpls Irvington at Indpls Tindley, Kokomo at Indpls Metro, Muncie Central at Hamilton Southeastern, and Traders Point Christian at North Putnam were all listed as postponed.

Wednesday’s results carry both immediate and program-level significance. Close overtime finishes like the Attucks-Washington and T.F. North-Hammond Central games can become turning points, building belief for winners and revealing late-game scenarios coaches must address for tournament play. Blowouts such as Westview’s and Fort Wayne North’s signal bench depth and defensive schemes that will be tested as regionals approach. For fans, parents, and school communities, these games keep local rivalries alive and maintain the high visibility of Indiana’s high school hoops culture.

With league play continuing, teams will look to parlay Wednesday’s outcomes into consistency. Coaches will refine rotations and late-game plans, and fans can expect more high-stakes finishes as teams head deeper into the second half of the season.
