The biggest difference why Center Grove was able to beat Cathedral in the tournament and Brownsburg couldn't: Physical and mental toughness, especially the mental toughness. It's embedded in Center Grove's culture, all the way down to the bantam leagues. It's why Center Grove is about to 3-peat and why Brownsburg will never reach the state finals as long as John Hart is their head coach.
Hats off to Eric Moore and the Center Grove program. They've earned the right to be the favorite in the 6A tournament every year until somebody finally beats them.
