The 2016 IHSAA State tournament got underway last night with games at 64 sectional sites around Indiana. With that, several potential future Boilermakers began (or ended) their quest for a state title. Here is a quick rundown of last night's scores, with some notes if there is a recruit or a big upset among the results:
Class 4A
East Chicago Central: Lowell 61, Lake Central 44
Crown Point: Valparaiso 66, Merrillville 59 (OT) - the No. 2 team in Class 4A goes down! Merrillville was 22-1 coming into the tournament and had beaten Valpo 75-71 on January 29.
