Take a look at the action from Tuesday's game between Mitchell and Scottsburg BEDFORD – One of the tenets of justice is fitting the punishment to the crime The IHSAA approved the Tournament Success Factor in 2012 a rule designed to level the playing field and create competitive balance Any team that wins a regional and state championship in consecutive years will be moved up a class for the next two seasons Critics contend it penalizes athletes for the success of their predecessors The Warriors won the Class 3A state title last season That was the “crime” for which the current Warriors are now being “punished” with the bump to 4A for this season as they will join Bedford North Lawrence and the other Hoosier Hills Conference neighbors in Sectional 15 Most programs would complain bitterly about that fate now in a rebuilding mode after graduating six seniors from the championship team and unable to defend the 3A title “If you had to choose a state championship and getting moved up we would choose that 100 percent of the time,” he said Scottsburg’s encore campaign has been as rough as expected The Warriors (4-11) lost 11 straight games but now they will carry a two-game winning streak into Tuesday night’s clash with BNL which is scuffling along at 8-8 with a three-game slump The Warriors opened with back-to-back wins over Austin and Eastern Pekin then reality (and a brutal schedule) hit hard with the losing streak They ended that with a 56-47 win over Clarksville then came back with a 82-71 win over South Central on Saturday we’re in a rebuilding mode,” said Richardson who has three sophomores in the starting lineup The roles were going to be different than they were last year and they’re trying to fit into those roles We’ve tried to get these guys to come out and compete Scottsburg will feature junior Garrett Boling (27 points against South Central) and senior guard Dare Bowles (24 against the Rebels and the lone returning starter from the title team) Boling also had 21 points in the win over the Generals even if the answer to the issues has been elusive The Stars have lost four of their last five and the last one (a 61-58 setback at struggling Floyd Central) was the most concerning to see the positive side of the outcome,” BNL coach Kurt Godlevske said “I’m still more worried about the details of getting ready for the sectional “They always say teams are what you emphasize We’ve been doing so much in practice to help ourselves offensively maybe that was our emphasis and we need a healthy balance But we need both sides fixed to get rolling This game will hopefully be a good start for that Patric Matson leads BNL in scoring at 20.3 while Quincy Pickett (9.7) and Logan Miracle (9.5) have been productive options so Matson and Miracle pose a challenge for us,” Richardson said “They have four guys that can really shoot it and that’s been one of our weaknesses this year.” rallying from a 38-27 deficit in the second half Jack Miller keyed a 12-0 run to erase the BNL lead and finished with 26 points while Wyatt Zellers added 16 who didn’t attempt a free throw while the Warriors had a 15-point edge on that stat line Sagarin ratings: Scottsburg 55.14; BNL 74.99 the Warriors rallied in the second half for a 57-51 victory Jack Miller had 26 points and Wyatt Zellers added 16 for Scottsburg Patric Matson had 22 points and Noah
