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
