Staff Report
Now itâ??s time for the hardware! Thanks to John Harrellâ??s fantabulous website, HoosierAuthority.com brings you a â??numbersâ? preview of every Week 12 sectional championship showdown.
Among the biggies in Class 5A are:
â?¢ Sectional 1: No. 2 Crown Point at No. 9 Merrillville. A rematch of the Week 3 tilt won by Crown Point, 13-0, for big-school supremacy in â??The Region.â?
â?¢ Sectional 5: No. 5 Lawrence North at No. 3 Warren Central. A Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference war between Class 5Aâ??s two strongest teams (according to the Sagarin power ratings) and a rematch of the 33-14 upset win by LN in Week 9.
â?¢ Sectional 6: Indianapolis Northwest at Decatur Central: Indianapolis Public Schoolsâ?? shining star faces the lone remaining Conference Indiana team.
â?¢ Sectional 7: Terre Haute North at No. 8 Avon. The visiting Patriots may be only 5-6, but they play in the tough MIC and thumped Bloomington South and Center Grove at home to get here.
The Class 4A juggernauts are:
â?¢ Sectional 10: Concord at No. 4 Plymouth. A rematch of the Week 7 game won 27-14 by Plymouth, Class 4Aâ??s second-best team according to Sagarin.
â?¢ Sectional 11: Fort Wayne South at No. 7 Fort Wayne Dwenger. Rematch of Week 5 game at South won handily by Dwenger, 35-14.
â?¢ Sectional 12: No. 10 Muncie Central at No. 12 Delta. Delaware County battle and rematch of last yearâ??s sectional semifinal won by Muncie Central, 7-6.
â?¢ Sectional 13: No. 2 Indianapolis Cathedral at No. 6 Roncalli. Ay yi yi, does it get any bigger among the stateâ??s Catholic powers? Cathedral, Sagarinâ??s top 4A school, beat Roncalli, the three-time defending state champ, 21-14 in Week 6.
Class 3Aâ??s trio of big games are:
â?¢ Sectional 17: No. 16 Hammond Morton at No. 1 Griffith. You can call it a rematch of the Week 5 58-13 whoopinâ?? applied by Griffith, the stateâ??s biggest postseason favorite.
â?¢ Sectional 22: No. 9 Danville at No. 3 Indianapolis Chatard. Class 3Aâ??s third- and second-strongest teams face off in a rematch of last yearâ??s 55-7 sectional championship romp by Chatard.
â?¢ Sectional 24: Evansville Mater Dei at Heritage Hills. Easily the marquee game in Southern Indiana and a rematch of last yearâ??s sectional final won 24-14 by Heritage Hills.
The two Class 2A battles are:
â?¢ Sectional 27: No. 8 Churubusco at No. 1 Cass. Does any No. 1 have a tougher route than Cass, which had to beat No. 4 Heritage (21-14) in the opener then survive Harding (15-8 in OT) to earn a berth vs. No. 8?
â?¢ Sectional 30: No. 13 Western Boone at No. 10 Speedway. A rematch of last yearâ??s sectional championship won 24-7 by Speedway.
The biggies in little olâ?? Class A are:
â?¢ Sectional 33: No. 4 Whiting at No. 6 West Central. This — quite possibly the stateâ??s best sectional championship matchup â??? is a rematch of last yearâ??s sectional final war won 14-13 by West Central.
â?¢ Sectional 35: No 10 Lafayette Central Catholic at No. 1 Pioneer. Sagarinâ??s fifth-best Class A team travels to its best in a rematch of the season opener won 27-13 by Pioneer.
