Steubenhoosier Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Blackhawk's first sectional opponent is Lakewood Park. This past Monday, they beat LP by 65. Don't think Furst's team is going to be challenged until they get to finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called "Kings of Indiana" i believe. I'll see if I can find the link. Did you see the Medora movie a few years ago. Wow I knew it was a rough place but man. My son played a game at Medora and it was their homecoming and after they announce the winner she makes a ceremonial walk around the gym waving to the crowd. I found it interesting and kind of neat until we got cussed out for not standing for the Queen. It was an extended half time and I needed to get something from car. I went out a side door and was shocked to see a Medora player that opened the door for me. Standing just outside in uniform smoking and holding his baby. Kid was polite but I was in shock. After the game we found out the Queen was his baby momma. Just another Friday night in in Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and looked at the 1A rankings......there are only two other northern teams ranked. Argos and Lafayette Central Catholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success factor would move them up. In fact, just going to the state finals two consecutive years would do that, even if they do not win. Happened to the North Harrison girls. Lost back to back finals in 3A, played the last 2 years in 4A and never got out of sectional, even with a all-state caliber player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so but was not sure if it would affect him while a Senior or the year after. Greensburg had that issue I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest enrollment count showed them with 73 students, only 32 of which were freshmen and sophomores. That's literally just an extra bus to Brownstown each day.

rico Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I was watching the HS highlights. East Noble at Wawasee. East Noble won. But they had a highlight of a kid by the name of Ali Ali for EN. He took it coast to coast through traffic and jammed it. 6-8 and skinny, but could run the floor and and handle the ball. Anybody know about this kid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Girls State Finals set. Here are the 4 teams representing the 'Southern' part of the state. Class A - Vincennes Rivet (I'll give you this one) Class AA - Winchester (ummm.....not in the South) Class AAA - Benton Central (South!!! Are you serious!) Class AAAA - Lawrence North (not Southern Indiana either) Benton Central and Winchester feeding into the Southern Semi-States is absurd. I can understand Lawrence North because the bulk of 4A schools are in the Indy area. Some of them have to feed to the South. The other two are ridiculous.
