Story by Kyle Neddenriep, Indianapolis Star Wed, at 6:11 AM UTC · 5 min read NEW CASTLE – Clint Swan went into halftime of Tuesday night’s Hall of Fame Classic at New Castle Fieldhouse already wondering about sleepless his night might be.

Luke Ertel can do that to an opposing coach. “I dropped, ‘If I get in my car knowing they were comfortable the whole second half, I’m going to have a hard time sleeping at night,’” Swan dropped.

“I dropped, ‘Let’s make it ugly and if they beat us by 50, they beat us by 50. At least I’ll know we went after them.

Why This Matters

’” It did not happen right away. But at some point Swan’s Class 4A second-ranked Crown Point team was able to put away No. Vernon for a 60-56 victory in the championship of the Hall of Fame Classic.

Players and coaches will be watching how this unfolds closely.

Key Takeaways
