The Bearcats (9-3) will hit the road to take on Fort Wayne Bishop Dwenger (11-1), the No. 1 team in Class 4A and reigning 4A state champions, for the regional title Friday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. Muncie Central has talent in spades.

Indiana high school football rivals condemn podcast comments ahead of playoff showdown
One of Central Indiana's best high school football rivalries over the last two decades has been the nearly annual showdown between Center Grove (IN) and Warren Central (IN). With the two scheduled to play once again on Friday, Nov. 13, in the regional round, a podcast not affiliated with either school may have added some more fuel to the fire. According to a report from Kyle Neddenriep of the IndyStar, part of the USA TODAY Network, the two schools districts issued a joint statement on Wednesday, expressing “disappointment and frustration” following podcast clips that appeared earlier in the day. While the podcast is not directly tied to Center Grove, statements came from a podcast on YouTube called “Inside Center Grove Football.” The comments took shots at Warren Central football players, stating that the team had multiple 20- and 21-year-olds. In another clip that surfaced, the two hosts also took shots at the reading capabilities of the players. “Today we became aware of disparaging and unacceptable comments that were made about Warren Central High School during a podcast called Inside Center Grove Football,” Center Grove director of communications Wes Anderson said in a statement released by both schools . “Neither this

Ball State basketball coach Chris Capko set for matchup against mentor Andy Enfield
Ball State basketball's road trip to SMU is sure to bring a whirlwind of emotions for Chris Capko. Capko, the Cardinals' rookie head coach, will return to Dallas to coach against the very same team for which he served as the associate head coach for the last two seasons. The matchup pits Capko against SMU head coach Andy Enfield, his longtime mentor who he has assisted for the last decade between stops at USC and SMU. "I don't feel any pressure to beat them or to perform extra well," Capko said following his first career head coaching win. "That's family to me, all those guys, same staff, coaches I worked with for a long time and a coach who's a mentor of mine." Capko and Enfield first became connected during their shared time in the state of Florida. Enfield was an assistant coach at Florida State when Capko got his first assistant coaching job at Stetson. By the time Enfield rose to prominence as the head coach at Florida Gulf Coast, Capko had become an assistant at Georgia Southern. Given the regional proximity of their earlier career stops, it wasn't uncommon for the two to run into each other on
