History made during boys basketball sectional finals

Sectional champs crowned in high school basketball

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — History was made in central Indiana Saturday night as new sectional champions were crowned in boys basketball.

Some repeaters. Some first-timers.

The game of the night happened up in Noblesville where the second-ranked Millers fought No. 1 Fishers in sectional 8. The Tigers won their first sectional title in school history, beating the Millers in the final seconds, 49-47.

“I think for our entire community, you see how they got behind us, the students, everybody,” Tigers head coach Garrett Winegar said. “It means everything to us.”

“My dogs going to fight to the end. If we don’t give it all we got, we don’t pull out the win in the end,” Fishers senior forward Keenan Garner said. “We worked so hard in practice all day to come out with this excellence. It’s amazing. Indescribable. It’s unlike anything I’ve felt before. It’s a surreal experience. I mean, to win it with these guys, just knowing everything we’ve been through, I’m just so proud of everybody in this organization.”
