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 3A girls basketball: Reigning champion Bellmont tops rankings

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 continue with Class 3A , where, unlike the other classes, there is a clear-cut favorite with defending state champion Bellmont returning virtually everyone from a season ago. But reclaiming the throne won't be an easy task, with a very deep pool of teams capable of contending for a spot at Gainbridge. Let's get to ranking. (I'll have more in-depth previews of the Central Indiana teams next week.) CLASS 3A 1. Bellmont (25-3, 3A state champions) The Braves are on the Norwell track. They won a state championship in 2026, are good enough to do so again in 2027, and the roster sets up so that if/when the success factor kicks in, they could certainly compete for a third consecutive deep tournament run in 2028. The Bleke twins, juniors Marianne and Ashley, announced their arrivals during last year's run to Gainbridge, both averaging over 13 points, with Marianne shooting 55.7% and Ashley firing 40.8% (32.4% 3FG). Kait Kitson and Lanie French are both dependable scores (and defenders) and will provide valuable senior
