In my post below on the trials and travails of the Cannelton boys basketball team, as well as other boys basketball teams throughout the state, I should have given huzzahs also regarding this girls score from January 4:
Daleville 44, Indianapolis Howe 22
For those of you who follow such trivia, Daleville had a triple-digit losing streak snapped at the end of last season. I believe it was the longest such streak in state history. Anyway, it appeared that they were working on a new streak this season, but the futility of seasons past (in which 101-9 and 52-8 scores were more the rule than the exception) hasn't carried over, as three of their losses were by a combined six points. Three seasons ago, their closest margin of defeat was 30 points; two seasons ago, their closest margin of defeat was 9, while last season, their closest margin was 7 points (before breaking the skid with back-to-back wins over FW Keystone and Indianapolis Howe). So, they're improving. Good for them!
Girls' Winless Watch this week includes 4A's Lawrence Central, 3A's Gary Wallace, Hammond Clark, Indianapolis Howe and West Vigo, 2A's Churubusco, Sheridan and Lake Station, and 1A's LaCrosse, Union (Modoc) and FW Keystone.
Surprisingly, Gary Wallace and Hammond Clark don't play one another; Gary Wallace is playing what appears to be a shortened schedule this year (11 games). Meanwhile, Lake Station and LaCrosse play on 1/26, while Union (Modoc) and Indianapolis Howe may play each other in a tournament on 1/28. Otherwise - and I haven't looked at sectionals yet - none of these teams are slated to meet in the regular season.
