It is time for a mid-season review on Conference
The league is making another strong case as the premiere basketball conference
in
As January begins, CI has a record against non-conference opposition of 31-14.
That is fifth best overall in
and the best among 4A conferences. Of course, it doesn’t hurt when you have two
of the top ten teams in the state. Bloomington South (6-0) continues to be
rated as the #1 squad in 4A and Franklin Central has been in the top ten all
season. The Sagarin ratings list both of those schools among the top 20 teams
in
After a slow start, new coach Pete Spoljaric’s Pike Red Devils are gaining
momentum and garnering a lot of respect.
Inside the league, it is quickly developing into the
predicted three team race. Bloomington South, Franklin Central, and Pike all
stand at 2-0 in the conference and are the only teams without a loss in league
play. Southport and
north are within hailing distance at 1-1.
The schedule pays no favors to Franklin Central. The Flashes
are on the road against both of their primary competitors. Mark your calendars
for the last two weekends in January. The Flashes travel to Bloomington South
on the 24th and the Panthers then go to Pike on the 30th.
If that set of games does not decide things, we are likely going to have to
wait until the end of the season. Pike and Franklin Central do not play until
the last week of February.
