For the 40th year, plans for post-season play have been announced as 315 schools were placed into brackets this evening for the IHSAA Football State Tournament presented by the Indianapolis Colts.

Sectional play begins on Friday, Oct. 19, for all but five teams who drew a bye in their respective seven-team sectional. Those teams will play on the road on Oct. 26 in the sectional semifinal round. Those teams are: Evansville North in Class 5A, Sectional 8; Evansville Central in Class 4A, Sectional 16; Western Boone in Class 3A, Sectional 20; Forest Park in Class 2A, Sectional 32 and; South Decatur in Class A, Sectional 39.

Forty sectional champions will be crowned on Friday, November 2. Regional games will be played Friday, November 9, and semi-states on Friday, November 16.

The 10 teams that earn a berth in the state finals will play on Thanksgiving weekend in Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, the state tournament’s presenting sponsor. The Class A and 2A championship games are scheduled for Friday, November 23, with the 3A, 4A and 5A games the next day. In all, 310 games will be played around the state over the six-week tournament.

Class 5A No. 1 Carmel is the only defending state champion currently holding its respective top spot in this week’s state coaches poll. The Greyhounds will open at home with conference rival Warren Central right out of the gate in Sectional 5.

In Class 4A, top-ranked Columbus East will travel to No. 6 East Central in Sectional 15.

In Class 3A, No. 1 Jimtown will host Fort Wayne Concordia in Sectional 18.

In Class 2A, top-ranked Evansville Mater Dei, last year’s state runner-up, will travel to face Southridge in Sectional 32.

And in Class A, No. 1 Linton-Stockton drew a road game and will play at North Knox in Sectional 40.

About the Draw
To conduct the random drawing for the football state tournament, the IHSAA places ping-pong balls representing each school in a given sectional into a lottery-style air mix machine. A fan in the bottom of the machine blows the balls around the inside of the transparent container and air then forces each ball up through a tube in random order. For example, the first ball retrieved from the machine will be the visiting team in game one with the second ball representing the home team in game one. The third ball to come out is the visitor in game two and the fourth ball the home team in game two. That same method is followed through all 40 sectionals. In the case of seven-team sectionals, the seventh ball drawn is the team assigned the bye and an automatic road game in the semifinal round.
