HA Staff Report


Mist if the Hoosier Heritage Conference teams have to be very happy with their draw in the upcoming sectional tournaments. That is definitely not the case for New Palestine and Mt. Vernon. These two HHC powers, both ranked highly in 3A, get the reward of opening tourney action versus each other in the New Palestine Sectional. That may not be bad for the top rated Dragons, but the Marauders could obviously think of better alternatives. Here is a quick look at how HHC squads fared in the pairings.

 

The other two HHC teams at New Palestine, Shelbyville and Rushville, also drew each other in opening round action. The good news is that they drew opposite of New Palestine. Hamilton Heights is the team awaiting the winner of the first round clash.

 

Yorktown drew Muncie South in the opening round at Blackford. However, the host Bruins would likely be the second round opponent. Meanwhile, Delta will get a strong test right off the bat. The Eagles will see Mississinewa in the bye round.

 

In 4A, host Pendleton Heights drew Connersville in the opening round and Greenfield-Central will clash with Richmond. The good news here is that the two strong HHC squads will not see each other until the final game.
