FOOTBALL TOURNEY GETS UNDERWAY

   The 30th Annual IHSAA Football State Tournament kicks off this Friday night, October 25.  The lineup for this year’s championship run is available on the IHSAA web at 2002 Football Pairings.  The state finals will again be played at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis on Friday, November 29, and Saturday, November 30.

 

   Defending 5A state champion Ben Davis will host Southport in its opening game.  4A defending state titleist Jasper is home to Evansville Central.  In 3A, last year’s winner, Indianapolis Chatard, heads to Lebanon.  The 2A winner from 2001-02, Fort Wayne Luers, is at Woodlan on Friday.  Southern Wells, which grabbed the single A crown last season, goes to Taylor.

 

   Football state finals credential requests may be made on company letterhead and mailed or faxed to Jerry Baker no later than November 25.  Requests received by November 18 will be mailed out to those approved working members of the media, otherwise they must be picked up at the gate.
