The ranks of Conference Indiana were cut in half on the opening
night of sectional lay.  Four conference
teams advanced including one who knocked out a league rival in the process.

 

In Sectional 7 action, Bloomington South defeated Columbus
North 40-37 in overtime. The game played out much as expected with both of
these offensive powers lighting up the scoreboard with regularity. The
defensive struggles that have plagued both were also in evidence. Bloomington
South’s reward for the victory is a semi-final date with Indiana’s top rated team, Center grove.
Elsewhere in this sectional, Bloomington North survived against Decatur Central
23-21. The Cougars will also see MIC competition next week although hardly of
the same caliber. Terre Haute North will provide the second round opposition.

 

Sectional 6 was a bloodbath for conference teams. One was
bound to fall on Indianapolis; Southside as Southport faced Perry Meridian. As expected, the
Cardinals had little trouble in prevailing 56-35. The victory improves the
Conference Indiana champions to 9-1 on the year. They will certainly have their
hands full next seek when they host 8-2 Avon at Southport.

 

Special teams cost Franklin Central in their 21-18 loss to
Brownsburg. The Flashes failed to convert on the PAT on any of their three
scores while the Bulldogs were perfect. In the end, that was the difference in
a very evenly played game. Brownsburg will face Ben Davis in the second round.
The Giants destroyed CI;s Pike red Devils 34-14. This game was a story of too
much Giants; running game for Pike to handle.

 

Lawrence Central, the league’s only representative in
Sectional 5, repeated their early season demolition of Indianapolis North
Central. The Bears frolicked 44-17 and will now face Richmond in the second round. Lawrence
Central will be a heavy favorite to advance to a sectional final showdown with Warren central who faces
Fishers in the other bracket.
