Starfires fourth in final poll
Local roundup
INDIANAPOLIS — The Starfires’ eighth win lifted them to their highest ranking of the season.
South Adams was voted fourth by The Associated Press in its final Class A high school poll of the year.
The Starfires (8-1), who were tied with Rockville for sixth a week earlier, earned 152 poll points to finish 26 ahead of No. 5 Milan. They are in the midst of their first winning season since 2001, and their eight wins are the most since going 8-1 in 1993.
The lone loss of the season for South Adams came against Class 4A No. 4 Leo (9-0). The only teams ahead of the Starfires in the Class 1A poll are undefeated two-time defending state champion Lafayette Central Catholic, Pioneer and Linton. None of those schools played a Class 4A opponent this year.
The Starfires will open sectional play at home against Monroe Central (3-6) on Friday at 7 p.m.
SA spikers win
FORT WAYNE — The South Adams volleyball team rallied from a game-one defeat to beat the host South Side Archers 25-27, 25-21, 25-22, 28-26.

Chelsea Bollenbacher added 11 kills and six aces, and Cady Farlow notched eight kills. Alyssa Armenta and Lauren Smith finished with eight digs apiece.
South Adams will open sectional play at home against Churubusco on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
The junior varsity team defeated South Side 25-15, 25-9 with Loren Sparks contributing five aces and three kills.
Stigleman leads Giants
Cole Stigleman carried the Giants to the Jay County Pee Wee Football fifth/sixth grade tournament championship Saturday. Gabe Link led the Vikings to the third/fourth grade title.
