Re-Ranking the Class 2A Sectional Champions

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Throughout the season, every Monday, we released our official Prep Hoops Indiana Class-by-Class Top 10 Polls. We will still put out a final poll after the season is over, but in the meantime let's re-rank the teams that are still alive. There are 16 Class 2A Sectional champions that are still alive. Here is our take on the Top 10 teams remaining.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class 2A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:table --> <figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Team</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Record</strong></td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center"><strong>Regional Opponent</strong></td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#1 Parke Heritage</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">23-4</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Centerville</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#2 Oak Hill</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">24-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Benton Central</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#3 Gary 21st Century</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">17-6</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Westview</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#4 Westview</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">24-1</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Gary 21st Century</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#5 Centerville</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">24-2</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Parke Heritage</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#6 Paoli</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">26-0</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Linton</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#7 Triton Central</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">22-3</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Cardinal Ritter</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#8 Linton</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">23-4</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Paoli</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#9 Lapel</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">20-5</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Blackford</td></tr><tr><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">#10 Cardinal Ritter</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">14-12</td><td class="has-text-align-center" data-align="center">Triton Central</td></tr></tbody></table></figure> <!-- /wp:table --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was more chalk in the Class 2A bracket than in Class 1A where we saw #1 Kouts get beat. Each of the top seven ranked teams, and nine of the Top 10 overall, from our final regular season Prep Hoops Indiana Class 2A Top 10 Poll won a Sectional championship. The matchups will be loaded in the Regional round as well. #1 Parke Heritage plays #5 Centerville and #3 Gary 21st Century takes on #4 Westview. #6 Paoli versus #8 Linton (#9 in our final regular season poll) is another Top 10 matchup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We ultimately gave Cardinal Ritter the nod at #10 over Blackford due to their path to winning a Sectional Championship. Ritter had to knock off a Herron-Riverside team with just one loss, Park Tudor, and University in order to cut down the nets. Both Bremen and Bishop Luers, who will play each other at Huntington North, have spent time inside the Prep Hoops Indiana Class 2A Top 10 at different points of the season as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Down at Charlestown High School, Austin will take on Forest Park. That leaves Benton Central, who won a Sectional title at 11-14, as the lone team we have not mentioned.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We look forward to seeing how these Class 2A Regional matchups shake out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
