Sports 9 Boys basketball Carmel takes care of New Castle Carmel continued its win streak on Saturday night, using another solid de- fensive performance to beat New Castle 57-27 at the Eric Clark Activity Center. The Class 4A No. 9 Greyhounds were in control from the beginning, leading the Trojans 21-6 after the first quarter. Peter Suder scored seven points in that first pe- riod, with Jackson Jannsen and Charlie Williams both adding six points. Carmel then led 32-11 at halftime. “Each opportunity we get to play a game, it’s about us,” said Greyhounds coach Ryan Osborn. “We know where we are, for the most part, and where we want to get, whether that’s defensively or offensively and things that we can con- tinue to work on. Our mentality is to get opportunities to improve. So when we go play, regardless of who we’re playing, our hope is that we leave at the end of the night feeling like we got better. And this is one of those chances and things came together. We played well on both ends of the floor.” Carmel continued to play in the third quarter, adding another 19 points to lead 51-19 by the end of the period. Nick Frische scored six points in that period. Nine different players scored for Carmel in the game. “The thing that strikes me the most is, Photo provided I love when our guys get excited for each The Carmel boys basketball team honored the 50th anniversary of the 1970 state runner-up basketball team other,” said Osborn. “It’s not about me or before its game with New Castle on Saturday. my points, it’s about us and putting points on the board and trying to stop the other team from scoring.” Suder had 12 points for the ‘Hounds, with Williams adding 10. Carmel is now 11-4, having won its last four games. The Greyhounds will be back at the Eric Clark Activity Center on Thursday to host Lawrence North in a Metropolitan Conference game.
