Some great sectional basketball games from our girls.
18 schools ended droughts of 10 or more years. Whitko easily won the prize for 50 years since no titles since 1976. Delta came next since 1993, then Columbia City and Lowell since 2000.
Other droughts ended were:Maconaquah 01, Alexandria 02, Indpls Cathedral 05, Elkhart Christian first time ever since 2005, Oldenburg 06, South Decatur 08, Hammond 2010,Floyd Central 10,Pendleton Heights (Irish) 11, Rensselaer 13,Borden 15, Warsaw 15, North Posey 15, Anderson Prep nw 2016.
