Sectional time for IHSAA Boys basketball is just right around the corner. In this article we offer our predictions for each Southern Indiana basketball sectional. We do not know the pairings yet. We do have a chart of how each team is performing currently. We do not always get it right, so we’d like your input. Please vote for each team you think will win.
SISN Favorites: Bloomington North, Bloomington South, Center Grove
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Center Grove
Three great teams in this sectional, so it’s hard to be certain who will take the crown, but I think Center Grove has the highest chance. They’re a great team, and they’ve earned a 3-0 record currently against sectional opponents, beating Bloomington North, Greenwood, and Martinsville.
SISN Favorites: Columbus North, Franklin
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Columbus North
SISN Favorites: Jennings County, Bedford North Lawrence
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Jennings County
Jennings County has the ability to go far in the tournament, but BNL put a tough game on them. It wasn’t the Jennings County we’re used to seeing during. We’ve seen them at their best though, and if they get a chance to play Center Grove again, I think they’ll put up a good showing.
SISN Favorites: Harrison, Reitz, Castle, Jasper
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Reitz
SISN Favorites: Indian Creek
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Indian Creek
SISN Favorites: Greensburg, Connersville, Batesville, Lawrenceburg
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Greensburg
This is going to be a tough sectional for all teams involved. I’m picking Greensburg as my favorite, but it could go either way.
SISN Favorites: Scottsburg, Corydon Central, North Harrison
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Scottsburg
SISN Favorites: North Daviess, Heritage Hills, Pike Central
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: North Daviess
Trent Sisley is in this sectional, and if Heritage Hills gets a chance to play North Daviess, it will be a very interesting game. I believe North Daviess has the better overall team, but that Sisley star power can turn the tide of any game. Pike Central is amped to jump in there in win it as well. Don’t sleep on them.
SISN Favorites: Memorial, Bosse
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Bosse
SISN Favorites: North Decatur, South Ripley
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: North Decatur
SISN Favorites: Brownstown Central, Providence, Southwestern, Henryville, Eastern Pekin
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Brownstown Central
Whoever gets a sectional pass to this group is going to be in for a treat. We could see 5 teams with the potential to win it. Providence was the 2A state champs last season, but Brownstown is now healthly and playing some of the basketball we’ve seen around Southern Indiana. Braves or Linton will be going to state for 2A in the South.
SISN Favorites: Linton, Sullivan, Paoli, South Knox
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Linton-Stockton
The Linton Miners are good, and its not just Joey Hart, there’s a few ballers on that team. I’d love to see Paoli win another one, but its going to be tough this year.
SISN Favorites: South Spencer, North Posey
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: South Spencer
SISN Favorites: Bloomfield, Bloomington Lighthouse, Clay City
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Bloomfield
Bloomfield just knocked off North Daviess and is sitting as the best team in 1A at the moment. They’ll cruise through this sectional and possibly on to State.
SISN Favorites: Edinburgh, Jac-Cen-Del, South Decatur
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Edinburgh
SISN Favorites: Borden, Christian Academy, West Washington
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: West Washington
SISN Favorites: New Washington, Rising Sun
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Rising Sun
SISN Favorites: Orleans, Loogootee, Barr-Reeve
SISN Predicted Sectional Winner: Orleans
This sectional has produced the 1A state champ for several years now, and its poised to do so again. I’ve been saying since last season that Orleans would win 63, and I’m sticking with that. It’ll be them or Bloomfield representing Southern Indiana in the state championship game.
SISN Favorites: Evansville Christian
