Fishers Tigers (13-0)<\/p>\n Fishers<\/a> Tigers (13-0) are looking to right the wrong of a year ago and chase after another IHSA Class 4A state championship. The team returns plenty of talent from a year ago as they continue to hold the No. 1 spot in our second set of Indiana high school boys basketball rankings. The Tigers brings back a pair of junior guards in\u00a0Jason Gardner Jr.<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Cooper Zachary<\/a>, whom combined for around 26 points per game a season ago. Coming off a 30-1 season, the Tigers remain the team to beat as they\u2019re off to a strong undefeated start through 13 games. Gardner Jr. leads the team currently in scoring at 21.0 points per contest and\u00a0Kai McGrew\u00a0second at 16.3, respectively. Fishers will be tested in the coming days against No. 22 Centerville<\/a>, No. 26 Brownsburg<\/a> and No. 39 Avon<\/a>.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n 2. Carmel Greyhounds (9-1)<\/p>\n Carmel<\/a>\u00a0(9-1) started off the Indiana high school boys basketball season with a football-like score of a game against No. 17 Zionsville, winning 35-28 to tip things off. Since then, the Greyhounds have been off and running through the Indiana high school boys basketball season so far. The month of January is certainly going to test the mettle of Carmel as they have already knocked off a very good\u00a0Cathedral<\/a>\u00a0squad, 63-62, and future matchup slated against No. 5 ranked Plainfield, which should be the Game of the Week in Indiana.<\/p>\n 3. Lawrence North Wildcats (10-1)<\/p>\n Lawrence North<\/a> (10-1) came within a few possessions of being the Class 4A state champs last year and have gotten out to a strong start to make another run. The Wildcats bring back one of the state\u2019s top power forwards in senior\u00a0Brennan Miller<\/a>, who averaged 13.4 points and 8.6 rebounds last season. Also watch out for forwards\u00a0Kai McGrew<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kenneth Lampley<\/a>, respectively. Lawrence North only loss of the season thus far came against No. 15 ranked Riley.

The Quakers have one of the state\u2019s best rosters coming back that includes senior power forward\u00a0Noah Smith<\/a>, who is already committed to DePaul. The three-star forward has provided the punch in the front court for Plainfield as Smith is averaging 20.2 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this winter for the Quakers.
