BC RECOVERS FOR HOME WIN

BC downs Mitchell after Friday's OT loss

But the Braves battled on Saturday, easily knocking off Mitchell, 58-38. Full Story


HIGHLANDERS STORM BACK

Beat Scottsburg, 63-60

BRAVES WIN SIXTH STRAIGHT

 

Borden stayed red hot, winning its third consecutive road game and sixth straight overall by toppling host Springs Valley, 56-30.

 

The Braves (14-4) have not lost since Jan. 19, when they fell 60-56 at Henryville in a game that would have given them an outright Southern Athletic Conference title. Full Story


GENERALS WIN AT HOME

 

Clarksville was finally able to get back into the win column on Saturday night, beating Washington Catholic at home, 62-49.

PANTHERS' COMEBACK FALLS SHOTS

Corydon Central eliminated by Vincennes, 65-60

By Greg Mengelt of Inside the Game

 

Like in last week's Sectional 30 title game, Corydon Central made a big fourth-quarter run in its Class 3A Regional semifinal game against Vincennes.

 

This time, however, the Panthers came up just short in a 65-60 loss.

 

Corydon trailed Vincennes, which went on to win the regional over Gibson Southern, by as many as 16 points in the third quarter. The Panthers got back within three points with the ball, but failed to convert on a shot in the lane with 10 seconds remaining. The Alices clinched the victory at the free throw line. Full Story
