I understand what you are saying and I agree with you, but it isn't feasible because of the reasons i shared.

You can put in a plan and fundraise. It’ll would be a State thing. Schools and the IHSAA working together. You could probably even get the Pacers to help and maybe even IU, PU and ND. But it needs done. So if it has to be a 5 year plan, then so be it. I just went and watched two schools in one of the poorest counties in the state and both could afford it. Though Paoli would have to buy for the boys and girls gym.

Teutopolis and Effingham have hosted a 16 team bracket Christmas Tourney the last 7 yrs. One Bracket is played at Ttown. The other at Effingham. Chicago Corliss has been a participant the last 4 yrs. George Conditt played for Corliss their first 2 yrs. Now he is at Iowa State. When they play their first 2 games, each player passes out a gift to kids in the bleachers before they take the floor. Last year, they have donated a brand new pair of Nikes from each player to Catholic Charities. This year they included some backpacks with school supplies with the Shoes. It is so awesome to see.

And that doesn't address getting enough qualified volunteers to do everything. Do we only have the clock for Varsity level games? Or all levels?
I keep the book or clock for every F/S home game and a lot of away games. I've ended up being the head score keeper or ran the clock at away games because they couldn't find someone to help.

Sectional 32 - 3A @Heritage Hills - #3 Evansville Memorial opens up vs #5 Gibson Southern.  It's a shame that has to happen in the opening round, but that is the way the ball bounces.

Last night Westfield at Greenfield Central included 51 personal fouls and 7 players fouling out!   Must have been B1G officials trying to pick up a little side money.

Norwell Lady Knights with a big comeback win last night over Bishop Luers!!!

Down 19 after the first quarter, win by 7.

On to the semifinal!

[fwgreenway]

Saw some highlights of that game. Quite an amazing comeback for Norwell.

[HoosierCoop]

Norwell with a hard fought Sectionsl title over Bellmont. Bellmont played an awesome game and somehow Norwell persevered and survived. They take on Wimchester next Saturday in Regional action.

Terre Haute North Vigo comes into my town for a shootout game against Mattoon Illinois High School at 1 local time next Saturday. I've seen Mattoon play a few times, but not THNV. Anyone know anything about them?

Brayton Bailey became the top 2 leading scorer at Bedford North Lawrence High School.  

[Redandyz]

Any word on if and where Brayton might play college ball?  Indiana walk-on maybe?

In the last week or so, several Indiana high school coaches have been fired or resigned with games still to be played.  Basil Mawbey was terminated at North Miami HS allegedly because they didn't like his style of play.  This man has only ever coached one style of basketball and has state tournament championships on his resume.  You don't  like his style but you  hired him anyway?

Another long time Indiana coach, Jerry Bomholt of Southwestern HS was forced out and here's his story from the Madison Courier:

Wow, on the Bomholt article! When is it going to stop with kids getting their way, when they don't like something. No accusations of abuse or anything in the article and it sounded like he had addressed the players issues directly, and they still demand his resignation?

[Alford Bailey]

Basil Mawbey is in the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and has a state championship and runnerup finish.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

And another coach resigns today with games still left to be played. 

Indpls. Manual basketball coach Donnie Bowling informed me he resigned today. “The school is in transition and they are going in a new direction. Good luck to them in sectionals.

I remember the days he was at Lewis Cass. They ran the best 2-3 zone I've ever seen at this level. The year they won state, teams were struggling to break 30 most of the time.

What a quarter this would have been to see in person.

Merrillville scores 41 points in the 4th quarter to lose to Michigan city by 1.
