A Salute To The Sectional (An Editorial) This season’s special sectional preview is dedicated to the five participating high school basketball teams who will be competing in next week’s Indiana High School Athletic Association sectional tournament at Triton High School. In addition to inserts in the regular editions of The Mail-Journal and the Akron-Mentone News, this special sectional preview will be distributed to all of the participating high schools — Triton, Tippecanoe Valley, Wawasee, Rochester and Warsaw. Thanks to the cooperation of the coaches, many of whom had to project their thoughts about the sectional well before the season ended, principals and athletic directors, this special preview was successfully completed by the combined efforts of the sports staff of each newspaper. A special thanks to the advertisers represented in this issue, whose support for their local high school team is well-documented. The 1983 Triton Sectional should be another thriller, and we hope you enjoy reading the stories and photos in this season’s issue. Best of luck to all of the teams involved, and may the best team win. Who won the sectional Following is a list of sectional tournament winners from 1921 thru 1982:
