Two Indiana Teams Just Punched Their Ticket to State Glory: Here's What Went Down Saturday Night
Saturday night in Indiana was electric. Westview and Triton both stormed through their semi-state championship games and locked in their spots at Gainbridge Fieldhouse next weekend for the state finals. These two programs are hungry, and neither one is thinking about anything other than bringing home hardware.
Westview's Dominant Run: 27-1 and Heading Back to the Big Stage
Westview absolutely dismantled Fort Wayne Luers 69-48 in the Class 2A north semi-state final, capping off an incredible day. Earlier Saturday, the Warriors had already taken care of business against Lapel, winning 65-62 in the semifinals. This team is rolling.
What makes this run even more special? Westview hasn't been to the state finals since 2014, when they fell short to Park Tudor. But the Warriors have history on their side. They won back-to-back titles way back in 1999 and 2000. Now, with a 27-1 record, they're one win away from adding another championship to the trophy case. Next Saturday, March 28, they'll face Parke Heritage, who comes in at 26-4.
Triton's Cinderella Story: First Finals Appearance Since 2013
Triton put on a show of their own. The Trojans demolished North Vermillion 51-45 in the Class 1A north semi-state championship, but that came after they absolutely dominated Tri-County 78-46 earlier in the day. This team is peaking at exactly the right time.
At 25-3, Triton is returning to the state finals for the first time since 2013, when they lost to Borden. The program knows what it takes to win at the highest level. They captured it all back in 2008 and have two runner-up finishes in 2009 and 2011. Next weekend, they'll square off against Barr-Reeve, who sits at 27-1, in what should be an absolute battle.
Northridge's Season Ends in Heartbreak
Not everyone got the happy ending they wanted. Northridge's impressive 26-2 season came to a crushing halt with a 66-40 loss to Crown Point in the Class 4A north semi-state final. The Raiders had just beaten Homestead 46-39 to punch their ticket to the championship game, but they couldn't find enough juice against Crown Point.
All four state finals tip off next Saturday, March 28, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Westview and Triton are ready to make some noise.
