We have come to expect MIC teams to dominate sectional action and it happened again Thursday evening. However, #1 ranked Ben Davis put on a show for the ages. The Giants won ten events at the Southport Sectional on their way to totaling 210 points! Folks, that is 210 points in a metropolitan Indianapolis sectional. I think the appropriate word is WOW.

 

Not to be outdone, Warren Central earned 206.5 points in claiming the crown at its own sectional. North Central took top honors at its own sectional. The Panthers amassed 132 points in slipping past Lawrence Central. Lawrence North was third at that site. Carmel matched the feat by scoring 150 points in winning its own sectional. The Greyhounds bested second place Zionsville by 52 points! We know this is going to start sounding monotonous, but Center Grove also took top honors. The Trojans won the Franklin Sectional with 158 points.

 

Many of those performances are borderline amazing, but the big story of the night came from the Terre Haute North Sectional. Terre Haute South recorded 174.5 points in taking the title. The incredible part or the story is that in a 12 team field, that bested second place Terre Haute North by a grand total of 1.5 points! That’s right. The Patriots scored 173 points and finished second.

 

In all, the eight MIC teams accounted for six team titles, one second place finish, and one third place. Maybe dominating is not a strong enough word.
