Baseball: Tough Draw For Sectional 8 Teams
Published May 15, 2012 | Hamilton County Sports Daily
Based on state rankings, it would appear that Zionsville’s Class 4A No. 2 Zionsville baseball team should be favored to win the Noblesville Sectional, when Sectional 8 gets under way on Wednesday, May 23.
None of the other teams in the seven-team field are ranked, though Fishers was ranked No. 10 before losing four straight games.
It was pretty much the same scenario a year ago at Zionsville, where the Eagles entered as the team to beat.
But the Eagles were grounded in a hurry.
Westfield, despite a losing record, won the title, and then reached the final of the Avon Regional.
But in Sectional 8, arguably the toughest sectional in the state, there really isn’t a favorable draw.
And this year’s pairings, released on Tuesday by the IHSAA, certainly didn’t do Zionsville any favors. Nor did the draw do any favors for Fishers or Hamilton Southeastern, two of the better teams in the field based on high double-digit winning records. The Tigers are 20-7 and the Royals 18-8..
Zionsville owns the best won-loss record in the field at 20-4.
Fishers, which lost two competitive Hoosier Crossroads Conference games to Zionsville this season, opens the tournament against a pretty good North Central team. That winner gets Noblesville, which drew the first-round bye.
In the May 24 opener, Zionsville and HSE lock horns, and the winner gets the Westfield-Carmel winner in the second round.
Zionsville and Hamilton Heights were the only Hamilton County teams to receive byes. The Class 3A Huskies meet Muncie South on Memorial Day at Yorktown.

Another battle between Hamilton County schools comes off Saturday at 1 p.m. at Wood Wind Golf Club in the annual Hamilton County Tournament.
“I’m really proud of the way the guys hung in there all day. We talked at the beginning of the year about setting goals of winning the conference, county and the sectional. We were able to attain the first one, now we have to get back to work and try for the county on Saturday,” Noblesville coach Gary Sewell said. “I think the way we played the back nine (we started on hole 10) set us up well for the day. We really played that nine well and I knew we would be in it if we just kept away from big numbers, which we were able to do.
“This conference is the best golf conference in the state and for us to be fortunate to win is an incredible feat.”
