Outlook:
Three-time defending champion Fort Wayne Luers is once again the heavy
favorite. A likely title bout with Fort Wayne South would be interesting,
especially after Luersâ?? earlier victory that should determine the regular-season
conference crown.

Hall of Fame (Thursday):
First

vs. Heritage Christian
round: Franklin Central vs.
vs. Heritage Christian
Outlook:
The second game of the day is perhaps a battle of the stateâ??s top two teams. A
victory by Heritage Christian, a 2A school, would surely send a message to the
IHSAA about the class system. The winner doesnâ??t exactly get a clear path to
the trophy, either. An evening game againstNew Castle
be tough in the Trojansâ?? monstrous gym.
