The Fishers Tigers will take on the Zionsville Eagles at 7:45 p.m. on Friday. Fishers will be coming into the match with an undefeated record on the line.
Fishers is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Tuesday. They came out on top against Westfield by a score of 54-47.
Meanwhile, Zionsville came up short against Cathedral last Tuesday and fell 55-47. While losing is never fun, the Eagles can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Indiana basketball rankings (they are ranked 34th, while the Fighting Irish are ranked second).
Fishers will have to contain Maguire Mitchell as he made an impact in Zionsville's last game. He shot 47% from the field en route to 25 points along with seven rebounds and four blocks. Those four blocks gave Mitchell a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Drew Snively, who went 5-for-9 on his way to 13 points.
Zionsville has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-12 record this season. Fishers' win bumped their record up to 25-0.
Fishers didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Zionsville in their previous meeting two weeks ago, but they still walked away with a 56-50 victory. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Mitchell, who shot 47% from the field to rack up 29 points and eight boards. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Fishers still be able to contain Mitchell? There's only one way to find out.
