The sectional alignments and the team draw for the State
Wrestling tournament have been announced by the IHSAA. For those who are not
familiar with the format, it can be a little confusing. Sectionals will take
place at 32 sites on Saturday, January 31st. Individual competitors will advance through
regional and semi-state rounds on their way to the State Finals in
champion from each sectional will then compete in one of eight four team
regionals. Regional winners will advance to an eight team state final the week
following the individual finals.
Here is a look at those sectionals involving MIC teams and
the draw that each of those sectionals received for the team tournament.
Zionsville Sectional—
will meet winner at Crawfordsville in the
team regional.
Sectional—Lawrence North, North Central—Winner will face winner at
at the
Warren Central Sectional—Warren Central—Winner will face
winner at Shenandoah at the
team regional
sectional—Ben Davis—Winner will face winner at
in the Greencastle team regional
Mooresville Sectional—Center grove—Winner will face
winner at Northview in the Greencastle team regional
Northview Sectional—Terre Haute North, Terre Haute South
— Winner will face winner at Mooresville in the Greencastle team regional
If you are looking for some analyses of the draw, here is
how it works out. MIC powers
and Lawrence North have a difficult road. Lawrence North must survive
Indianapolis Cathedral in the sectional. If they pass that test, both they and
Southmont await. The good news is that if both reach the regional, they drew
away from each other in the first round.
The other thing to keep your eye on is that as many as three
MIC teams could advance to the Greencastle regional. If that happens two of
them are guaranteed to meet in the first round. Warren Central appears to have
caught a little bit of a break in traveling to
comparatively weak Shenandoah winner. That, of course, assumes the Warriors can
survive a tough field at their own sectional.
