FB: MIC teams seeing big changes in sectional competition

Posted on 30 March 2009 by .

 

Staff Report


Realignment
is bringing major changes for MIC teams and the tourney trail they follow. The
league will still be represented in four different sectionals, but the field in
those tourneys will significantly change.

 

One of the
largest shifts will affect Carmel. The Greyhounds will still travel the
northern route to the state finals, but the sectional field will be much
tougher. That is because HCC entries Hamilton Southeastern, Noblesville, and
Fishers are replacing Kokomo, Anderson, and Anderson Highland.

 

The Terre
Haute schools are also seeing a major change. They are now grouped in Sectional
6 which includes Ben Davis and Conference Indiana power Pike. Previously, they
faced the southern monster in the MIC, Center Grove. Meanwhile, the Trojans
have a new bully on the block. Perennial 4A power Columbus East has moved to 5A
and will enter the field in Sectional 7.

 

The
Indianapolis members of the league are also seeing changes. in the field for
Sectional 5.  Indianapolis Arlington,
Fishers, and Hamilton Southeastern are being replaced by Franklin Central,
Southport, and Perry meridian.

BB: Terre Haute South bucks tradition to win sectional

Posted on 09 March 2009 by .

 

It is known
as the sectional that is never won by the favorite. This time, Terre Haute
South made sure it was. The Braves downed Mooresville 42-35 Saturday night to
claim the crown at the Terre Haute North Sectional. Bucking tradition was not
easy.

 

Terre Haute
South trailed 35-33 midway through the fourth quarter. Then the Braves’
defense, and two injured stars, took control of the contest. The final run
began when Jake Odum hit John Michael Jarvis for a three pointer that put Terre
Haute South ahead 36-35. Both of the Braves’ guards were playing on injured
ankles. After milking the clock for more than a minute on the next possession,
Odum stepped to the line and drained two charity tosses to put the Braves up by
three.  The defense took over from there,
holding the Pioneers scoreless the rest of the way.

 

Odum led
Terre Haute South with 23 points and eight rebounds.
