2018 Indiana High School Basketball State Tournament: Sectional Championship Scores

Winning a sectional is pretty special. As a very proud Kokomo alum, my beloved Kokomo Wildkats have a state record 74 sectional titles. We won the sectional title all 4 years I was in school and this year only marks the second time ever we have lost in the sectional in four striaght seasons. We have never lost five in a row. I have a piece of all four sectional nets on my wall for 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998.
