<p>Sectional week wraps up tonight with championship Saturday and Prep Hoops Indiana remains your one-stop shop for all coverage. Tonight, while Brandon Ramsey will be at the Noblesville Sectional Championship, I will have boots on the ground at Greenfield-Central High School for the Saturday night Sectional 9 Championship game. Tonight, we have a real good matchup between the host Greenfield-Central and New Palestine. Greenfield-Central got here by beating both Anderson and Muncie Central while New Palestine was able to beat Mt. Vernon-Fortville and Pendleton Heights. There will be a ton of talent on the floor this game and I will be in the house to see all the action. Below is the full game report.</p>
