An unprecedented fifth consecutive sectional title is the goal of the Berne Bears in the 1064 Adams Central sectional tourney, which opens Wednesday night. The Bears will, also be after their 11th sectional championship, which would tie them with the Decatur Yellow Jackets for the most sectional crowns. Berne won its fourth straight championship last year and the 10th in the school’s history. The four in a year matched a feat accomplished l?y the Yellow Jackets from 1949 through 1952, and the Monmouth Eagles from 1953 through 1956. Leading the teams in sectional titles are the Yellow Jackets with 11, followed by Berne with 10. Monmouth’s four crowns all came in a row. The Pleasant Mills Spartans and Hartford Gorillas each won sectional honors twice, but both of these schools have now been closed. Adams Central, Decatur Commodores and Geneva have yet to taste the glory of., a sectional championship. Adams Central has competed only since 1950. when the Kirkland, Monroe and Washington township school systems were consolidated to form Central. Prior to 1950, and Kirkland one. Decatur CatnMonroe had won three sectionals olic has participated in the sectional since 1943. when parochial schools were admitted to the Indiana high school athletic association.
