East Central Indiana high school football sectional opener scores, updates
The IHSAA football postseason is here. Every team is now 0-0. The Star Press will have extended coverage of a matchup between Yorktown (5-4) and Fort Wayne Bishop Luers (2-7) in Class 4A Sectional 20. The Tigers are a defending 4A sectional champion, but the Knights are the reigning Class 3A runner-up and are now playing up two classes from their enrollment size. Luers' record might indicate a weaker-than-usual team, but the Knights play a very tough schedule and have been one of the state's most consistent programs over the last few years, particularly in the postseason. Yorktown, meanwhile, is very banged up and finished the regular season with back-to-back losses to Pendleton Heights and Mt. Vernon. More: Yorktown football star's slaying allegedly a case of mistaken identity Three other East Central Indiana teams are involved in Sectional 20. Delta (4-5) will visit Class 4A No. 10 Logansport (9-0), Jay County (3-6) will host Marion (1-8), and Muncie Central (6-3) will get a rematch on the road with North Central Conference rival Kokomo (4-5). While the Eagles and Patriots just moved up from Class 3A to 4A, the Trojans of New Castle (3-6) made the opposite move from 4A to

Preseason 1A girls basketball rankings: Fremont eyes return to Gainbridge
We are taking a class-by-class approach to our 2026-27 preseason Indiana girls high school basketball rankings so we can dive deeper into the top teams in each classification. We begin with Class 1A , which will have a new champion with two-time defending champ Borden moving up to 2A due to the success factor. Last year's state runner-up, Fremont, stunned the state with its regional win over Marquette Catholic, and opens this season as the frontrunner in what should be a very deep class. Let's get to ranking. 1. Fremont (28-3, 1A state runner-up) The Eagles graduated eight points and six rebounds off last year's roster and are not the tallest team, but their pure athleticism should help offset the lack of height. That begins, of course, with the core trio of Grace Scharlach (19 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 3.1 spg), Mya Turner (15.8 ppg, 7.5 rpg) and Chloe Verdin (8.2 ppg, 3.2 spg). They were prolific in concert with one another during last year's run to state and will be joined by another returning starter in Mallorie Hufnagle, who averaged four points and 2.4 rebounds. There's a lot to like with this group's aforementioned athleticism and the defense is no
