MUNCIE, Ind. — This is where playing in the Hall of Fame Classic pays off. This is why you schedule teams like Carmel, Beech Grove and Hamilton Southeastern.
New Castle is now one of four teams remaining in Class 3A, along with Culver Military Academies, Evansville Bosse and Danville. The Trojans beefed up their schedule this season to prepare for the environment they're going to see on Saturday.
Top-ranked New Castle takes on Culver at 1 p.m. at Lafayette Jefferson High School. The winner moves on to Bankers Life Fieldhouse to play for a state championship next weekend.
