FAIRMOUNT – What a week it was around the state, with several boys making statements throughout the week, and the girls standing out on Saturday at their respective Semistate sites for Indiana Basketball Coaches Association player of the week honorees. In nine combined games last week, the boys’ honorees posted five double-doubles and one triple-double, while on the girls’ side, six of the eight state finalists have a feline flavor, as Lions, Panthers, Tigers, and Wildcats are ready to take over Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Saturday.

Washington Township senior Austin Darnell (boys District 1), Speedway junior Drew Valentine (boys District 2), Silver Creek junior Trey Kaufman, Evansville Bosse senior Kiyron Powell (boys District 3), Pioneer sophomore Hailey Cripe (girls District 1), Northwestern senior Kendall Bostic  and Frankton junior Ava Gardner (girls District 2), and Loogootee junior Kalea Fleming (girls District 3) were selected as recipients for the week of Feb. 17-22 in the recognition program coordinated by the IBCA.

Darnell had a trio of quality performances last week, helping the Senators to three wins in five days. On Feb. 18, Washington Township picked up a win over Oregon-Davis, as Darnell knocked down 11-of-18 shots from the field and 10-of-13 free throws for 32 points. The 6-7 forward added ten rebounds, picked off five passes, and blocked six shots in the effort.

Friday night was very similar, as the Senators won handily over Whiting. Darnell was again strong, with 29 points on 13-of-19 from the field. He grabbed eight rebounds, handed out three assists, collected a steal, and blocked three more shots. Saturday, the Trinity Christian University commit posted a triple-double in another lopsided win, this time over River Forest. Darnell scored 16 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, and blocked 10 shots in the victory.

Cripe helped the Panthers to a relatively easy win over Blue River Valley, 56-30, at the Logansport Semistate, helping Pioneer earn a spot in the Class 1A state championship game. The 5-6 guard knocked down four 3-pointers and six free throws, en route to her 20-point contribution. She added six rebounds, five assists, and three steals in the big win.

 Valentine might only be 5-7, but he packed a big punch last Friday night in the Sparkplugs’ double overtime win over Indianapolis International. Valentine was a stellar 12-of-15 from the field and 12-of-13 from the free throw line, as he torched the nets for 37 points in the outing. The guard also contributed seven rebounds, seven assists, and five steals in the contest.

Bostic reached another milestone Saturday, as she surpassed the 2,000-point mark in the Tigers’ victory over Penn. Earlier this season she eclipsed the 1,000-rebound plateau. In the win, the 6-1 post scored 24 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, handed out three assists, and blocked a pair of shots. The Michigan State University signee was also 8-of-8 from the free throw line, as she helped Northwestern reach their third consecutive state finals, this time in Class 4A.

Gardner was equally impressive in District 2, helping the Eagles to a nail-biting, 62-61 overtime win against South Central (Union Mills), advancing them to the Class 2A state championship game. Not only did the 5-7 guard bury six 3-point shots on her way to scoring 29 points, but she collected a steal late in overtime, drew the foul, and knocked down both free throws to put Frankton in the lead for good. Gardner totaled three steals in the game, plus she added three rebounds to the effort.

Kaufman makes his second appearance as a District 3 winner following a pair of nice outings last week for the Dragons. On Feb. 18, Silver Creek traveled to conference rival Austin, winning easily. In limited time, the 6-9 forward still managed to fill up the score sheet, as he was 9-of-14 from the field and was perfect in 12 free throw attenpts, scoring 30 points in the contest. Kaufman added nine rebounds.

Friday, at conference foe Corydon Central, the forward helped the Dragons to another win, this time by a score of 83-61. Kaufman was spectacular, pouring in 39 points on 14-of-18 shooting from the field, plus he was 10-of-12 from the charity stripe. He posted a double-double with his 14 rebounds, plus he contributed three assists, a pair of steals, and a pair of blocked shots in the win.

Powell also dominated the paint last week. In three games, he put together three double-doubles, helping Bosse to a 3-0 record during that span. Tuesday, in a conference win against Evansville Mater Dei, the front-liner scored 21 points and matched that total with 21 rebounds as well. He nearly had a triple-double with his eight blocked shots, plus he added five assists and three steals in victory.

Friday evening, at conference rival Evansville Harrison, Powell helped the Bulldogs secure a win. He managed just 14 points in the outing, but his 10 rebounds, seven blocked shots, and two steals helped change the game defensively. The University of Houston signee added four assists as well. Saturday, in a win at Sullivan, Powell again approached a triple-double, as he scored 13 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and blocked nine more shots.

Fleming was entertaining to watch Saturday, as she helped the Lions move on to the Class 1A state finals. The 5-6 point guard was electric, as she not only scored 26 points in the win over Greenwood Christian, but she also created six scoring opportunities for teammates, and she took the ball away from the Cougars on six more occasions. Fleming managed three rebounds as well, and the Lions will now play Pioneer for the Class 1A championship.

Player of the Week winners are chosen each week from each of the IHSAA’s three districts. Girls winners will be chosen through the Monday following the IHSAA girls state finals. Boys winners will be chosen through the Monday following the IHSAA boys state finals.
