New basketball classifications set
The IHSAA announced new basketball classifications for the next two seasons, and Hancock County teams will remain in their respective classes for the foreseeable future.
The biggest change affecting local teams will come to Sectional 9, where Mt. Vernon, Greenfield-Central and New Palestine compete. Connersville has moved down a class, to 3A, meaning a new team will join that sectional. The new sectional alignments will be announced by the end of April.
