Sitterding to Indiana Tech

Basketball games switched
The Columbus North at Franklin boys basketball game scheduled for Saturday has been postponed to Monday because the Franklin girls will be playing in the semistate on Staturday evening.
Also, the Edinburgh at Brown County boys basketball game scheduled for Feb. 24 will be varsity-only with a 6:30 p.m. start.
Gymnastics regional moved
The gymnastics regional that has traditionally been hosted by Columbus East will be hosted by Franklin Central this year. The regional meet will be at 5 p.m. Feb. 4 at The Gymnastics Company in Indianapolis.
“This has been a two-year ongoing discussion,” East athletics director Pete Huse said. “We’ve been working with Franklin Central and the IHSAA on this. Franklin Central has been asking and wanting to do it, and we wanted to give them the opportunity to host. We’ve been doing it for 50 years, so if another school wants to take their turn, we’re more than willing to oblige.”
East still will host the sectional at 1 p.m. Feb. 26.
