1 Boys BOYS Sectional Preview Whitley County, Indiana February 2016

2 2 Eagles favorite to win title at home By MARK PARKER The Post & Mail COLUMBIA CITY Columbia City s Eagle basketball team wears the favorite mantle in IHSAA Class 3A Sectional 23 for good reason. The Eagles are playing on their home floor as hosts for the sectional. Defending sectional champion Columbia City also boasts the best record of the sectional field at To add to the Eagles advantage, Columbia City also drew the bye and will wait until Friday to play, with only a single game to win to advance to the sectional finals. Columbia City s offense runs through its inside game. With 6-foot-8 senior Brachen Hazen and his younger brother, 6-foot-7 junior Parker Hazen, the Eagles present a match-up problem inside for any of the other teams, both on offense and on defense. Offensively both of the Hazens finish strong around the basket. Defensively the Eagles size makes it difficult for other teams to finish. If other teams collapse on the Hazens inside, Columbia City has adequate outside shooters in Cooper Parish and Ryan Mosher. Defensively the Eagles have limited teams to just 44 points per game. Columbia City s defense has been strong for the most part, thanks in great part to the work of Carson Reed and Robert Warrick. Warrick also gives the Eagles more rebounding strength inside as well as a steady shot from medium range. The Eagles will face the winner of the Bishop Luers-Norwell game. Bishop Luers (12-8) is a newcomer to Sectional 23 and looks to be the biggest challenge for the Eagles on that side of the bracket. Luers downed its opening round opponent Norwell by a score Feb. 16. The other half of the bracket includes a first round game between Mississinewa (12-9) and Bellmont (4-19). Heritage (7-13) will meet the winner in the second semifinal on Friday. Mississinewa appears to be the favorite for the Eagles to meet in the finals. The Indians have beaten Bellmont during the regular season and Bellmont has downed Heritage. If the Eagles can establish their inside game, Columbia City fans should see their team cutting down the nets for the second year in a row. Insure a Win!!!

4 4 Whitko sports winning record in struggling sectional By MARK PARKER The Post & Mail SOUTH WHITLEY Whitko s Wildcat boys basketball team will open the IHSAA Westview Sectional squaring off against Bremen in the first game at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The Wildcats at 13-8 are among four teams with winning records in a very evenly-matched sectional field. Host Westview sports an 11-9 record and has the advantage of drawing the bye straight into Friday s semifinal against the winner of the Whitko-Bremen contest. Fremont at 14-6 opens against Central Noble in the second game in the other half of the bracket. In the first game of the opposite bracket, 14-8 LaVille meets 9-12 Prairie Heights. The Wildcats drew a Bremen team that has the only decidedly losing record at The Wildcats enter sectional play with momentum, having won seven of their last nine games. Whitko s offense runs through its guards, led by Nathan Walpole. The junior guard has hit for over 30 points in a game several times this season. For the Wildcats to make a run in sectional play, Walpole will need to be a presence on the offensive end of the floor. Whitko guards River West and Devon Adkins both give the Wildcats an outside threat. West and Adkins will have to hit some outside shots in order to take some of the pressure off Walpole and keep the other teams from concentrating on Walpole. Whitko center Tanner Gaff has to provide the Wildcats with a rebounder on both the offensive and defensive boards as well as providing an inside offensive threat for the Wildcats. The Wildcats come into sectional play averaging a solid 64 points per game, the highest offensive average of any of the sectional teams. With no clearcut favorite in sectional 35, the Wildcats offensive production may be enough to carry them to the title game. Good Luck!

6 6 Churubusco faces tough road in sectional By MARK PARKER The Post & Mail CHURUBUSCO Churubusco s Eagles face possibly the toughest road to a sectional title of any of the three Whitley County schools. The Eagles at 6-16 come into IHSAA Sectional 36 at Bluffton as the only team with a losing record. The Eagles open sectional play Tuesday evening with a contest against Northeast Corner Conference foe Eastside. The Blazers sport a 13-7 record. Against common opponents in the NECC, Eastside holds a 7-3 record, while Churubusco is 2-7. The Eagles offensively spread the wealth around with senior Drew Buffenbarger, and junior Dakota Barkley working inside, and senior Garrett Simmons operating from the wings. The Eagles Luke Foote and Dalston Duff run things from the guard spots. A great deal of the Churubusco success depends on the ability of Buffenbarger and Barkley to get to the rim. If the Eagles get past Eastside, they will face Canterbury in the first semifinal on Friday evening. The Eagles met Canterbury in the sectional finals last year at Woodlan, falling by a score. In the other half of the bracket Adams Central takes on 11-9 South Adams in the first game Wednesday evening. In the second game, Woodlan (10-10) faces sectional host and favorite Bluffton ( 13-7). The winners of the Adams Central-South Adams and the Woodlan-Bluffton games will meet in the second semifinal on Friday.
