powerful MIC squads moved on to regional competition by winning sectional

three times to capture its own tournament. The Giants defeated Southport 2-1 in
the first round and then dispatched Indianapolis Washington 5-0 to reach the
finals. Once there, Ben Davis outlasted Perry meridian 1-0 to take the crown.

round one and beat Franklin 3-1 in the final. Meanwhile Terre Haute South
smacked West Vigo 6-1 and then survived MIC rival Terre Haute North 2-1 for the
title.

shut out by Brebeuf in the championship game 4-0. Lawrence North fell to
Lawrence Central in the opening round 3-1, and Warren Central fell to Mt.
