Correction
In the article on the New Palestine football team’s state championship rings Thursday, Jostens should have been listed as the maker of the rings. Herff Jones is officially endorsed by the Indiana High School Athletic Association, but schools may select their own ring-maker. Only Herff Jones may use “IHSAA” or the IHSAA logo, however.
