Continue ReadingWith Sectional week coming up quick, we take a look ahead and preview some of the toughest Sectionals in the state. We have taken the average Sagarin Rating of all the teams in each Sectional to help produce this rankings. So, thanks to John Harrell for that. Easily the best at what he does. With that being said, today we are looking at the best of the best in 2A.

Sectional 46 – Crawford County
In 2A, Crawford County Sectional comes in as the toughest of all. Providence is at the top of that group and has proven that they are really, really good and have yet to lose to a Sectional opponent. Outside of that, they have five teams with more than 11 wins. Henryville and Clarksville are both really solid this season as well. This Sectional currently holds the #2, #8, and #13 teams in 2A this season.
Sectional 43 – Speedway
Sectional 43 is really solid this season with a lot of the talent at a few teams. This isn’t the most balanced Sectional because Broad Ripple and Scecina are far and away the best teams in the Sectional. However, Heritage Christian and Covenant Christian are good enough to pull upset. Heritage just knocked off Guerin Catholic and Covenant has beaten Scecina already this season. Broad Ripple, though, could be a legit contender in 2A this postseason.
Sectional 42 – Triton Central
Maybe the most intriguing Sectional in 2A is #42 at Triton Central. Last season, Indianapolis Howe made a lot of teams suffer. However, they have had a few ups and downs this season but are still capable of knocking off any other 2A team in the state. Now, though, Irvington Prep has the best record (16-3) joining Howe, Shenandoah, Eastern Hancock as double-digit win teams. Triton Central is at 9-11 and could join that group before the end of the season. Also, you have the potential rematch of Shenandoah and Howe which is a complete difference of style.
