Class 4A Takes Center Stage
In the top tier, South Bend Adams opened its campaign with a 7‑3 victory over rival South Bend Riley, while Penn demonstrated why it’s a preseason favorite by routing Michigan City 12‑0.
The offensive outburst continued in Class 3A, where Culver Academies edged Plymouth 3‑1, and NorthWood delivered a 20‑3 drubbing of West Noble, underscoring the league’s depth.
Mid‑Tier and Small‑School Action
Class 2A saw Knox dominate Career Academy 20‑2, while Eastside shut out Churubusco 8‑0, reflecting a pattern of high‑scoring affairs. In Class 1A, Marquette Catholic edged Hammond S&T 3‑2 in a nail‑biter, and Oregon‑Davis secured a 2‑0 win over Elkhart Christian.
