Sectional 51 Tips Tonight

NOMINATE FOR ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Today is Monday of week 35 on the IHSAA calendar, which can mean only one thing: sectional week. Owing to the church alignments of a number of its participating schools, sectional 51 has once again seen its first-round games moved from Tuesday-Wednesday to Monday-Tuesday, leaving its schedule in the following fashion:

1. FW Blackhawk Chr. vs. Lakewood Park, Monday, 6:00 p.m.
2. Elkhart Chr. vs. Howe Military, Monday, 7:30/45 p.m.
3. FW Canterbury vs. Hamilton, Tuesday, 6:00 p.m.
4. BETHANY CHRISTIAN vs. FW Keystone, Tuesday, 7:30/45 p.m.

6. Winner Game 3 vs. Winner Game 4, Friday, 7:30/45 p.m.
7. Winner Game 5 vs. Winner Game 6, Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Using the "Predictor" formula of the statewide Sagarin Ratings, we can obtain the following margins and semifinal/championship games:

1. FW Blackhawk Chr. 70, Lakewood Park 57
2. Elkhart Chr. 45, Howe Military 25
3. FW Canterbury 63, Hamilton 44
4. Bethany Chr. 64, FW Keystone 47
