Staff report
Among MIC
teams, Lawrence North and Carmel have to be the happiest with the draw for
sectional play. The Wildcats drew Indianapolis Broad Ripple at the Warren
Central Sectional. They would then play the winner of North central versus
Lawrence central in the second round. That draw avoids both Cathedral and host
Warren central until the final match. That is because the Warriors drew the
defending state champions in the tournament’s opening game.
Carmel
travels to the Zionsville Sectional which is full of Hoosier Crossroads
powerhouses. However, the Greyhounds drew the bye and one of the better
matchups with HCC squads. They will battle with Fishers in the semi-finals.
Elsewhere,
Center Grove drew an improving Franklin Community team in the first round at
greenwood. The good news for the Trojans is that they cannot see their main
competition, Perry Meridian, until the championship match. At Martinsville,
Terre Haute South drew the host Artesians. The Braves downed Martinsville in a
regular season match just a couple of weeks ago. The Terre Haute North Patriots
drew a bye and will face Mooresville in the second round. A rapidly improving
Ben Davis team got a favorable draw at the Pike Sectional. The Giants will open
with Indianapolis Tech and if victorious go directly to the final. They would
most likely see Avon in that match.
