FAIRMOUNT, Ind. — This could be Blackford girls basketball's best team ever.
The Bruins, after breaking both the program's wins (17) and consecutive wins (10) records last season, are off to the best start in their history (8-0). The ICGSA has them at No. 4 in Class 2A as of Nov. 27 after being ranked No. 12 in Week 1.
It's been a steady climb for this team's core, led by seniors Olivia Leas and Liv Waters, and head coach Mitch Waters, Liv's older brother. Now equipped with the perfect combination of upperclassmen leadership and youthful depth, Blackford wants to win its first sectional title since 2009.
