TC opens defense of football sectional title at Monrovia

Shelbyville and Triton Central avoided first-round sectional pairings with state-ranked opponents, but both will start on the road on Oct. 19.
The Indiana High School Athletic Association placed 315 football programs into brackets in five classes on Sunday to set the schedule for this year’s state tournament.
Sectional champions will be crowned on Nov. 2. Regional championships follow one week later. Semistate games will be played on Nov. 16 with five state championship games at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Thanksgiving weekend.
Class 4A, Sectional 15 features the top-ranked team in the class, Columbus East (8-0), and sixth-ranked East Central (7-1). Those two traditional powerhouses meet in the opening round. The winner advances to face the winner of South Dearborn (0-8) at Connersville (5-3).

Shelbyville (4-4) was the first team slotted into the eight-team bracket. The Golden Bears travel east to face Richmond (6-2). The winner of that game draws the winner of New Castle (1-7) at Franklin County (4-4).
Shelbyville and Richmond have only met once on the football field. That came in 1928. The Golden Bears won that meeting, 3-0.
The Red Devils started the season with losses to East Central (35-6) and New Palestine (28-6), but have won six straight since then.
“They’ve been progressively playing better,” said Shelbyville coach Pat Parks. “We don’t know much about them, but they’re not going to know much about us either.”
Richmond’s best win this season came Sept. 22 against Kokomo, 26-22. The Wildkats (6-2) are the only team to defeat Hoosier Heritage Conference champion Mount Vernon this season.
If Shelbyville and Franklin County win their openers, the Golden Bears would host the second-round game at J.M. McKeand Stadium on Oct. 26.
A sectional championship game will likely go through Columbus East or East Central.
“We have the opportunity to stay away from them until you get to the championship game,” said Parks. “Then, I will take a one game shot at anybody.”
Triton Central went into the 2011 sectional carrying a three-game losing streak. The Tigers, under then first-year coach Gabe Johnson, rattled off three consecutive wins to capture the Class 2A, Sectional 31 title.
Triton Central (5-3) has faced a much tougher schedule this season after joining the Indiana Crossroads Conference. The Tigers have already squared off with 2A’s top team, Ritter, as well as state-ranked teams from Heritage Christian and Brebeuf.
“I feel like whoever we play, we’ll be ready for them,” said Johnson. “We’ve had tough games. We’ve had Saturday games. We’ve had games where we had to go back the next day and play. We’ve played in rain. We’ve had just about every scenario out there.”
The quest for back-to-back sectional titles begins in Monrovia this year.
The Tigers play at Monrovia (3-5) in the opener. The winner moves on to face the winner of Providence (3-5) at Paoli (6-2). If Triton Central and Paoli win, the second-round game would be played in Fairland.
“Being on the road is just the reality of it,” said Johnson. “You can’t dwell too much on it. We just have to be ready for that.”
Triton Central earned the bid to become the eighth team in the ICC over Monrovia. There is talk that the Bulldogs could still join the ICC if a spot becomes available.
Monrovia is just three years removed from being the 2A state champions.
In the top half of the Sectional 31 bracket, Clarksville (4-4) travels to Eastern (Pekin) (1-7) while Lawrenceburg (7-1) is at Crawford County (0-7).
