Staff picks for sectional first round in East Central Indiana high school football

MUNCIE, Ind. — We've reached a point in the season where any game could be the last for our local teams.

All nine of the ECI teams open sectional play on Friday night. Be sure to follow Star Press sports writers Jake Fox (@FoxJake_) and Ryan O'Gara (@RyanOGara) on Twitter, as they will provide live updates throughout the games.

What makes this week interesting is that so many of these matchups are ones that haven't happened ever, or at least in a long time. Of the four Delaware County teams, only Yorktown has played its opening-round opponent in the last 30 years, and its game against Frankfort was in 1996.
