SELMA, Ind. — Blue River girls basketball has been a local Class A force the past three years.
The Vikings (3-2) have won three consecutive sectional titles, and a 2020 regional championship, since head coach Terry Bales took over the program in 2017-18. Before Bales, Blue River's last sectional title was in 1984-85.
Bales entered this season with a 72-30 record, with last season's 22-4 (9-0 in the Mid Eastern Conference) mark being his best yet. The Vikings lost two key contributors in Mallory Cross and Abby Thornburgh from that group, though, so Bales' team was tasked this year with replacing their 14.
