New Sectional Assignments

[Coach Edwards]

Does anyone have any idea as to when the IHSAA will release the new sectional alignments for the next 2 seasons?  It was my understanding that they would be released a week or so ago.  

[Payne]

Last time around, in 2022, Sectional assignments were announced on May 3.

In 2022, the Executive Meeting was held May 3rd, with the alignments being announced later that day.  

The next executive meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday.  Look for them to be announced later that day.

IHSAA website says the Executive Meeting is April 30th.

Be nice to see those when they come out. Knew classes at least. Ohio just announced divisions & regions yesterday. Once we know Indiana sectionals, we can see where our Stateline teams are all assigned.

Executive Committee meets today.  Will sectional assignments be released today?

They were announced on the same day as the meeting in 2022.  Hoping for the same today.

On Monday, the IHSAA Board of Directors approved full recognition of boys volleyball and girls wrestling.

With full recognition, the two sports will now have an established IHSAA state tournament. Girls wrestling will be a winter sport while boys volleyball will be played in the spring.

20. (7): Culver Academies, Frankfort, Huntington North, Lebanon, Logansport, Marion, Muncie Central

118 miles between Culver Academies and Muncie Central.  

91 miles between Culver Academies and Lebanon.

Gas is expensive.

Don't think a lot of folks foresaw Penn jumping into Sectional 1. Tough draw for Lafayette Harrison, gotta imagine they'd rather be grouped with the DAC (like Jeff was) than Westfield, Zionsville, and Carmel. Tough draw for LC and Portage as well.

[Basementbias]

Well that's all squared away along with announcing girls wrestling and boys volleyball. Have to think boys & girls lacrosse will be next in line.

2A Sectional 37

Apparently they couldn't find a way to squeeze LCC into this one in place of Monrovia!

I mean, looking at a map, it'd be hard to argue against those schools being in the same sectional, yeah? The splitting Indy like a pie, at least in 2A, 2 years ago was massively stupid.

I get it.  It makes the most sense.  You could almost call it the ICC tourney, with 5 of the 8 conference teams included.

32 is just casually

Memorial, Mater Dei, Gibson Southern, Southridge, Heritage Hills, Vincennes Lincoln.

 

apologies to Mt Vernon….and Princeton never had a chance anyways. 

There’s a possibility of 4 or 5 ranked schools in 32…maybe even multiple in the top 5 of 3A lol

Yes, feel bad for Harrison.  They are an up and coming program that will be pretty damn good it seems but I give them little chance in that gauntlet of a sectional.

Maybe they'll draw Zionsville on a down year.

Zionsville is 15-1 all time against Harrison (WL).

Even a “bad” Zionsville outfit would give Harrison fits.

Evidently so are lubricants...because there doesn't seem to be enough to stop the squeaking......

Agree. I was thinking a 28-14 type game on an off year. That's not a slight on Harrison by any means. It's more of a testament of how good Indy suburban schools have become over the last 15 years. I like my idea better of sticking two FW teams in Indy and two in SB. That would have pushed Harrison to the northwest. Crown Point is no slouch, but that sectional would have been easier with Penn being pushed to SB/FW.
