A look at the top contenders in PAC high school girls basketball in 2026-27

The IHSAA girls basketball season began on November 2. The 2025-26 campaign was a good one for the PAC. Eight of the 13 conference teams finished with winning records — a good representation for the level of basketball being played in Southwestern Indiana. Gibson Southern won the conference after missing out in 2024-25. But it was Washington, the PAC runner-up, that was the furthest advancing team in the postseason, making its first semi-state appearance since 1996-97. More: Top IHSAA girls basketball games to watch across Southwestern Indiana As is the case every season, rosters will look different with seniors departing. But some may benefit more than others with a higher number of returners. As the season gets underway, it’s time to check in with the top eight PAC teams from last season. Gibson Southern Gibson Southern finished 17-7 last season with an undefeated PAC record. But it was also the first season in the last five for the Titans to finish without a postseason title. They lost the sectional semifinal to Reitz, 58-49. Gibson Southern coach Kyle Brasher said the team learned a lot last season. Among those lessons being the importance of each possession. “We really learned how much

Fab 15: Pendleton Heights, Franklin Central headline preseason area rankings

We continue our Central Indiana girls basketball deep-dive with our preseason Fab 15. There are a couple clear preseason frontrunners entering the season, but the transfer chaos and arrival of a very strong 2030 class has this field looking as deep as ever. Let's get to ranking! 1. Pendleton Heights (22-4, 4A sectional champions) The Arabians have their centerpiece in Northwestern-bound forward Adah Hupfer (20.5 ppg, 13 rpg), and a strong cast of returners that includes Sami Brunk (6.4 ppg, 2.9 apg), Ellie Warfel (5.6 ppg) and Grace Lee (3.8 ppg). That in itself would have registered this team among the best in the state. But then they added 2028 Fishers transfers Ella Burleson and Reagan Reiff, and expectations were really elevated. Burleson, a 5-8 guard, averaged 8.2 points, 2.4 assists and a steal across 22 games last season, while Reiff, a 6-foot guard, clocked 8.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 1.9 apg and 1.3 spg. They're both considered top-50 recruits by PrepGirlsHoops Indiana (Reiff is top-25) and will be immediate contributors (obviously) with their new team. Newcomers Jada McGraw, Justus Ellis, Mallory Schug, Zy Larry and Sadie Rauh will add depth for Pendleton Heights, which has a schedule that includes Sneakers

Top IHSAA girls basketball games to watch across Southwestern Indiana

The start of the IHSAA girls basketball season is here. Teams have been practicing since October 19 in preparation for a new campaign. Some programs will look a little different without familiar faces, and others, ready to make a leap. How will the defending SIAC champion Castle fare without forward Jayden Scott? What about PAC champion Gibson Southern? What about programs like Reitz, Evansville Christian, Washington and North Knox? The four Southwestern Indiana teams advanced to semi-state last season. Time will tell, but until then, let’s see what some of the top games around the area will be this season. 21 games to watch across SW Indiana Nov. 6: Washington at North Knox The two programs won regional titles last season. Without important senior pieces from last season, will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this season opener. Nov. 7: Bloomington South at Gibson Southern Gibson Southern certainly has a great chance to repeat as PAC champion, and this early-season test against Bloomington South, a team that’s won two-straight conference championships, will be telling. Nov. 10: Mater Dei at Heritage Hills Both teams finished third in their respective conferences last season. And both return key pieces

Bloomington South, North football IHSAA sectional semifinal updates

Just like that, the Bloomington area is down to two teams in the 2026 IHSAA playoffs. Both got here by default technically, as South and North were off last week due to being in a four-team Class 5A sectional. Both teams enter tonight's games as favorites, with South hosting Franklin and North making the long trek to face Seymour. A pair of victories would set up an all-Bloomington sectional final next Friday, Nov. 6. North last played the Owls (3-6) in the 2022 sectional opener winning 56-38. All three of Seymour's wins have come in the last three games against Jennings County, New Albany and Crispus Attucks, who are a combined 6-22. The only common foe this year was Bedford North Lawrence, which whipped Seymour, 43-12. More: Bloomington North's Roberts family fighting odds, waiting for a miracle South (7-2) last played Franklin (4-5) in 1982. The Grizzly Cubs come spiraling in on a four-game losing skid, the last three lop-sided defeats to Plainfield, Bloomington North and Decatur Central.
