However, five minutes is hardly enough time to get to class, especially if students need to go to the bathroom, a drinking fountain or a locker.

South Bend area's best 2026-27 regular season IHSAA girls basketball games
Now that the IHSAA girls basketball season has officially begun in the South Bend Tribune coverage area, let's take a look at some of the most high-profile regular season games across the area. Northridge, Penn and South Bend Saint Joseph notably have tough schedules, particularly in nonconference or tournament action. Here's 15 games or tournaments to look out for on 2026-27 girls basketball schedules around the area. Nov. 7: Penn vs. Valparaiso The Kingsmen and Vikings each won IHSAA 4A sectional championships with at least 23 wins before losing in regional championship games. They'll open up their seasons against one another at 7:30 p.m. ET in Mishawaka, and Valparaiso will be doing it without former Indiana All-Star Lillian Barnes, who is now at Ball State. Penn, however, returns nearly every key player, most notably sophomore Jillian Sanderson. Nov. 19-21: Culver Academies Thanksgiving Classic While only three area teams are competing in this tournament, it's notable because the potential for a 2025-26 IHSAA 3A sectional championship rematch awaits in Culver Academies vs. South Bend Saint Joseph. The Eagles beat the Huskies in that title tilt last season, and these two teams should become very familiar with one another in the next

Penn, Northridge headline area prep girls basketball teams to watch
It's time, believe it or not, for yet another edition of Hoosier Hysteria on the girls' side. Indiana high school girls basketball teams began games on Nov. 2 after starting "official" practice back on Oct. 19. Teams will have their sights set on the ultimate prize in a trip to Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for the IHSAA state finals on Feb. 27, 2027. Sectionals are slated for Feb. 2-6, with regionals Feb. 13 and semi-states Feb. 20. More: Lily Scholl named 2025-26 Tribune Girls Basketball Player of the Year Bremen and Elkhart Christian Academy made it the furthest of any South Bend Tribune area teams a season ago. The Lions lost 66-57 to Oak Hill in Class 2A semi-state title game, while Eagles fell 55-33 to Fremont in a Class 1A semi-state title tilt. Bremen, though, graduated their top three players from a 24-3 squad. Northridge lost in the semi-state semifinal round to end last season. The Raiders knocked off Warsaw, whom they had lost to during the regular season, to win the sectional, beat Valparaiso to win the regional before a 76-59 loss to McCutcheon in a Class 4A semi-state game. Penn easily won a Class 4A sectional title
