South Bend Tribune staff predicts IHSAA football regional championships

And then there were three. After last week’s sectional slate where seven South Bend Tribune coverage area teams competed for championships, only Penn , Concord and Northridge emerged victorious. The Kingsmen and Minutemen are back in the regional round for a second straight season, while the Raiders advanced past sectional play for the first time since 2022. All three of these squads are favored to capture regional crowns come Friday night, but does The Tribune’s staff agree? More: All of the 2026 fall sports all-Northern Indiana Conference teams Find out below. IHSAA 6A Regional Championship: No. 6 Penn (11-0) at No. 5 Crown Point (11-0), 7:30 p.m. ET Analysis: This should be one of the most competitive games in the state this week, and certainly the most competitive in The Tribune coverage area. It’s a game many Kingsmen players have been looking forward to for years, such as senior Mohammad Al-Gburi, who said beating the Bulldogs in last season’s sectional championship game wasn’t enough revenge after Crown Point ended Penn’s season when he was a freshman and a sophomore. You’d have to assume the feeling is mutual on the other side after Penn beat the Bulldogs by just four points

Shine On at Frankfort’s Lighting of the Green

The Village of Frankfort invites residents to celebrate its annual Lighting of the Green on Thursday, Dec. 3, at 6:30 p.m. at Breidert Green. Inspired by the beloved holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” this year’s celebration embraces three simple but powerful themes: Kindness. Generosity. Hope; as the Frankfort community reflects on the challenges it has faced and the strength it has found in coming together. As part of this year’s celebration, residents are encouraged to think about how they can be someone’s light. It might mean helping a neighbor, offering encouragement to a friend, sharing what you have with someone in need, or simply letting someone know they matter. These everyday acts of kindness are what bring a community together and make it shine. The evening will feature including live holiday music performed by the HCMS Choir, free hot cocoa and cookies, a special light projection on the Grainery Tower, and the grand illumination of Breidert Green. Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be there to greet families and pose for holiday photos. Residents are also invited to bring a canned good or nonperishable food item to help those in need.
