With the regular season over, it’s time to look ahead as the games become more meaningful than any other time during the regular season.  Simply put, its win or go home for the teams in the West Central Conference.  

Of the seven teams in the West Central Conference, six will meet in 2A Sectional 46 at Cascade.  The lone school absent from Sectional 46: the Greencastle Tiger Cubs.  Coach Glenn Hile takes his Tiger Cubs to 3A Sectional 29 at Brown County.  

Breaking down Sectional 46:
You have the six teams from the West Central Conference as well as Covenant Christian (14-6) and Tri-West (11-9).  This could be on of the more interesting sectionals with Covenant Christian, Speedway, Tri-West, and Cloverdale all having a legit shot to win the sectional.  Of those four teams, none meet each other in the opening round of sectional play.

This Sectional is a big challenge for Greencastle.  The Tiger Cubs appear to match up well with most of the teams in Sectional 29.  The one exception is a big one.  That exception is the 19-2 Owen Valley Patriots, a team Greencastle wouldn’t have to meet until the Sectional finals.
