It was a classic game of Hoosier hysteria. The Manchester and Wabash girls’ basketball teams were meeting Saturday for the Wabash sectional championship and a trip to the Lapel regional.

Manchester made it to the championship game with a convincing 49-23 win over Lewis Cass and a 54-41 win over North Miami. Wabash made it to the championship game by winning a 43-35 nail biter over county foe Southwood, and then made it to the championship game by nipping Northfield 36-29.

Manchester was seeking their first sectional championship since 2007, while Wabash was trying to win their fifth in a row. In a game that wasn’t decided until the last 10 seconds, Wabash would prevail 33-27.

Northfield senior wrestler Joseph Ross is heading to the state finals. Ross accomplished this feat by winning the Fort Wayne semi-state at 195lbs Saturday.

Ross became the first wrestler from Northfield to win at Semi-State since Scott Mann in 1990.
