Indiana Basketball Sectional Assignments: Class 4A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase and Prep Hoops Indiana Top 250 Expo are both now in the rearview mirror. There is still plenty of content coming this week on the website recapping all the action from the Top 250, but we want to go ahead and start diving into some “way too early” previews of the upcoming Indiana High School Basketball season. It may be football season as the weather turns to fall, but in Indiana basketball is always top of mind. Let's begin our preview content with a quick look at the updated sectional alignments in Class 4A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It is hard to look at the Class 4A landscape and not still consider defending state champion Cathedral the favorite heading into the season. Michigan State commit [player_tooltip player_id='868219' first='Xavier' last='Booker'] is back, [player_tooltip player_id='868251' first='Jake' last='Davis'] and [player_tooltip player_id='868252' first='Jaron' last='Tibbs'] are other seniors who were major contributors a year ago, and a couple of incoming transfers will provide an influx of talent. However, many will point to Ben Davis as arguably the best team on paper with their impressive depth of talent at every position. When looking at other contenders, Penn will have an excellent group led by Notre Dame commit [player_tooltip player_id='1049169' first='Markus' last='Burton'] and Kokomo obviously has the most dominant player in the state with 6'9" [player_tooltip player_id='1363488' first='Flory' last='Bidunga'] who led them to semi-state a year ago. Fishers and Zionsville also deserve mention in a loaded Sectional 8 as teams who have the talent to go all the way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 1: </strong>East Chicago Central, Gary West Side, Hammond Central, Hammond Morton, Lake Central, Merrillville, Munster</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 2: </strong>Chesterton, Crown Point, Hobart, Kankakee Valley, Lowell, Portage, Valparaiso</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 3: </strong>LaPorte, Michigan City, Mishawaka, Plymouth, South Bend Adams, South Bend Riley</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 4: </strong>Concord, Elkhart, Goshen, Northridge, Penn, Warsaw Community</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 5: </strong>Carroll (Fort Wayne), DeKalb, East Noble, Fort Wayne North Side, Fort Wayne Northrop, Fort Wayne Snider</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 6: </strong>Columbia City, Fort Wayne South Side, Fort Wayne Wayne, Homestead, Huntington North, New Haven</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 7: </strong>Harrison (West Lafayette), Kokomo, Lafayette Jefferson, Logansport, Marion, McCutcheon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 8: </strong>Carmel, Fishers, Hamilton Southeastern, Noblesville, Westfield, Zionsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sectional 9: </strong>Anderson, Greenfield-Central, Mt.
