We have said all along that consistency is the key in the
HoosierAuthority.com All-Sports Trophy race, and Valparaiso�s
consistency has Carmel looking over its shoulder. Valpo, which claimed
a fourth-place finish in the recent gymnastics state finals, has closed
within 55 points of the Greyhounds in the overall standings.
With
the small number of schools that compete in gymnastics, the results did
not produce many big moves in the standings. Perhaps the most
significant is that Center Grove has slipped past Hamilton Southeastern
into fourth place overall. And another Northwest Indiana school is
quietly making its way up the ladder: Chesterton has moved into 11th this week.
Next
week�s update is sure to shake things up as boys basketball points are
added to the mix. On the boys side, basketball has the most points
available, and the fact that it is a class sport means several small
schools are going to jump in the standings.
Any way you look at it, the race is close. And spring sports are going to decide the issue. Stay tuned ââ?¬â?? this is about to get real fun!
