Local roundup
INDIANAPOLIS — The Patriots have their eyes on their first sectional championship in school history. They’ll have to start their run against a team that played for the state title last season.
Jay County High School’s softball team will open tournament play in Class 4A Sectional 6 against the fifth-ranked Huntington North Vikings at 5 p.m. May 21 at Homestead. The IHSAA announced the tournament draw this morning.
The Patriots (11-8) will play Huntington North, which lost the 2012 state championship game 3-1 to Plainfield, in the first opening-round game with New Haven and the host Spartans to follow. The winners will play in the semifinal round at 5 p.m. May 22, and Wayne and Fort Wayne South Side will follow in the second semifinal game.
The championship game is scheduled for 7 p.m. on May 24.
JCHS has lost to Huntington North in the sectional semifinal round in each of the last two seasons — 10-0 in 2012 and 3-0 in ’11.
