Faith has beating Clinton Central now 3 of the last 4 opening rounds. The problem is, the second round has not been kind to them. The 82 points was a season high, beating their first game of the season where they topped Delphi in triple OT 80-78. They’ll face North Vermillion on Friday at 6pm at Fountain Central. Winner plays for the title against the winner of Rossville and Fountain Central. Faith and NV did not play each other this season.

Mind you those two teams played just 2 weeks ago to a 51-47 final. Knights get Clinton Prairie next, the same squad who ended their season last year.
Over at Jeff, Kokomo was too much for Harrison as their season comes to an end after a 69-50 final.
Obviously not the start we wanted tonight and definitely not ending we had in mind, but in between our kids showed exactly who they were. Immensely proud to have the privilege to be their coach. We will be back & be better. https://t.co/jmZXoAPlk3
