Class A & 3A Sectionals: Parity Reigns Supreme
3 Mar
Summary
- Multiple teams in Class A and 3A have strong claims to sectional titles.
- Loogootee Sectional 62 features four former state champions with deep histories.
- 3A Sectional 31 lacks a clear favorite, with Princeton and Gibson Southern strong contenders.
The Indiana high school basketball season is currently in a state of high excitement as sectional play intensifies, particularly in Class A and Class 3A, where parity is the defining characteristic. Predicting outright winners is proving to be a near-impossible task for many observers.
Class A Sectional 62, hosted by Loogootee, showcases a remarkable concentration of talent. Barr-Reeve and Orleans are statistically favored, but Loogootee and North Daviess also possess strong pedigrees, with all four teams having secured Class A state titles since 2012 and frequently representing the south in finals.
In Class 3A Sectional 31, no single team stands out as a clear favorite. Princeton, ranked third, faces stiff competition from Gibson Southern, Jasper, and Southridge. Washington has shown improvement after a mid-season coaching change, but may be hampered by injuries.
Games in both sectionals are anticipated to be closely contested, reflecting the balanced nature of competition across Indiana's high school basketball landscape this year.
