Makeups & more
Tonight, athletes from all four Hancock County schools converge on New Palestine for the swim sectional prelims.
But that's about the only action going on in the area tonight. Crews at NPHS were working hard all afternoon to clear the parking lot to make it passable for fans attending.
However, all of the night's basketball games are off.
G-C vs. Delta -- no reschedule date yet, they're looking at a date in late February.
EH vs. Tri -- will be played Saturday night, 6 p.m. JV tipoff
NP at Shelbyville -- no reschedule date yet
Also, on Saturday, Greenfield-Central's girls will host Whiteland at 6 p.m., and the boys will host Greenwood immediately following. The JV games will take place in the G-C fieldhouse -- boys first, then girls.
We will announce reschedule dates when they are made available to us.

More closings/weather-affected games
All four Hancock County schools had season finale girls basketball games scheduled Thursday.
All four will likely be canceled after school was called in all four districts for Thursday. It would affect New Palestine @ Plainfield, Shenandoah @ Mt. Vernon, Triton Central @ Eastern Hancock and Greenfield-Central @ Greenwood.
Everything is on for Friday as of now, although our broadcast time will shift briefly. We will still broadcast New Palestine vs. Shelbyville boys, but will probably go on the air at approximately 7:30 p.m. instead of the previously-advertised 7:10 p.m., as Shelby's girls team will play Franklin at 6 p.m. prior to the tipoff of the boys game. We will go on when the girls game ends.
Also Friday, Greenfield-Central hosts Delta and Eastern Hancock hosts Tri. Mt. Vernon is off until Saturday, when it will face Warren Central on the road. NP (at Mooresville) and G-C (vs. Greenwood) also have Saturday's games.

School's out
... throughout the county (and region) today, and closings are starting to roll in for Wednesday.
Needless to say, all athletic events for the next couple of days will be cancelled/postponed.

Enrollment numbers out
The IHSAA has released its enrollment numbers, and there will be some interesting changes ahead.
First of all, it appears New Palestine will move up to Class 4A in basketball/volleyball/baseball/softball, while Greenfield-Central will remain 4A. Mt. Vernon, which has a reported enrollment of 15 fewer students than NP, will remain in Class 3A and be the largest school.
These are all unofficial right now. The IHSAA released enrollments for 409 schools, which would indicate 102 schools in Classes 4A, 3A and 2A and 103 in Class A. NP ranks 100th on the state's enrollment list with 1092 students. MV ranks 103rd with 1077. G-C is the largest county school with 1410 students, and is 72nd in enrollment.
Eastern Hancock will remain one of the smallest schools in Class 2A. With 355 students, EH ranks 291st, and would be 15 spots (and 39 students) ahead of the 1A/2A cutoff.
In football, the three larger county schools will remain in Class 4A, with G-C inching closer to the top, but all three would comfortably be in 4A for the next cycle. EH appears to be staying in Class A.
Among HHC schools, Shelbyville will jump back into Class 4A in bb/vb/baseball/softball after one cycle in Class 3A. Delta, Yorktown and Rushville will remain 3A, while Pendleton Heights will remain 4A ... essentially meaning Shelby & NP will move up, putting half the league in 4A and half in 3A.
In football, Delta will be the second-smallest Class 4A school, but all HHC schools will remain in the same classes where they currently compete -- with Rushville and Yorktown in 3A and the rest of the league in 4A.
