MUNCIE, Ind. — Thanksgiving is fast approaching, which means the 2021-22 IHSAA boys basketball season is about to begin.
There were several strong local teams in 2020-21, with five squads winning sectional titles, but COVID-19 restrictions kept gyms from holding large crowds for the majority of the season.
More fans can return to the bleachers this year, so here are 10 games to mark on your calendar:
Nov. 27 - Muncie Burris at Muncie Central
The Owls and Bearcats enjoyed a thrilling late-season matchup in 2020. Burris won the contest 63-61 despite a Central fourth-quarter comeback, but both teams have lost their top two scorers from that game.
