Sectional 39 could see many different scenarios take place as the week progresses, with several teams here that have a legitimate chance at cutting down the nets on championship Saturday. Sheridan, who is likely the favorite here, got a bye in the top half and will likely meet up with Taylor in the semifinals after the Titans take care of Tipton in the first round. The bottom half of the bracket is hot right out of the gate with a huge matchup between Lapel and Frankton battling to take on host Elwood in the semifinals. The winner of Lapel and Frankton should be the team that finds its way to the Sectional 39 Championship against likely opponent Sheridan. This could just be a real toss-up of a Sectional.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Under-the-Radar Sectional - Sectional 40 @ Eastbrook High School</h2>   One of the more interesting Sectionals in the northern part of Class 2A is Sectional 40, which will be held at Eastbrook High School. The favorite for this one looks to be Blackford, who will easily have the best prospect in the entire group and has beaten three of the teams that make up Sectional 40. Blackford will have the toughest route to make it to Saturday, having to first try and go through Alexandria and then Eastbrook in the semifinals. Wapahani is the defending Sectional champ here, and their "reward" was earning the bye and will either have to defeat Madison-Grant or Muncie Burris — two teams with a sub-.500 record — to make it to Saturday. Whichever team does make it to Saturday and likely meets up with Wapahani will have its work cut out for it. There are legitimately four teams that could make it out of Eastbrook and move on to Regionals.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Players to Watch</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1561080' first='Terrence' last='Hayes'] (Gary 21st HS), [player_tooltip player_id='1561131' first='Camden' last='Bell'] (Wapahani HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2391343' first='Kaden' last='Grau'] (Westview HS), [player_tooltip player_id='1561078' first='Me'trell' last='Harbin'] (Gary 21st HS), [player_tooltip player_id='1561084' first='Jacolby' last='Donaldson'] (Gary 21st HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2272826' first='Javionne' last='Harris'] (Taylor HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2266894' first='Jace' last='Tonagel'] (Oak Hill HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2414946' first='Tamarje' last='English'] (Bishop Luers HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2622228' first='Austin' last='Schlabach'] (Westview HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2414954' first='Chase' last='Devine'] (Bremen HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2470647' first='Kayleb' last='Young'] (Gary 21st), [player_tooltip player_id='2140451' first='Trey' last='Page'] (Sheridan HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2539991' first='Amarian' last='Leggett'] (Blackford HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2424067' first='Jayden' last='Moore'] (Bishop Luers H), [player_tooltip player_id='2956681' first='Will' last='Tonagel'] (Oak Hill HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2382305' first='Lance' last='Edison'] (LaVille HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2376951' first='Will' last='Spurgeon'] (Jimtown HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2442377' first='Zander' last='Whitaker'] (Jimtown HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2617841' first='Dominic' last='Fey'] (Jimtown HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2245722' first='Colton' last='Lindsay'] (Eastern Greentown HS), RJ Shugart (Oak Hill HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2140423' first='Peyton' last='Auler'] (Tipton HS), Trey Bennett (Frankton HS), Owen Garber (Lapel HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2381412' first='Carmani' last='Davis'] (Bishop Luers HS), [player_tooltip player_id='2892479' first='Ayle' last='Taylor'] (Bishop Luers HS)   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Staff Predictions </h2>   Sectional 33 - Gary 21st   Sectional 34 - Bremen   Sectional 35 - Westview   Sectional 36 - Bishop Luers   Sectional 37 - Delphi   Sectional 38 - Oak Hill   Sectional 39 - Sheridan   Sectional 40 - Wapahani
