Vote For The Best High School Gym In Indiana
There are 68 high school gyms in Indiana that are up for the Best High School Gym in Indiana, and several of them are here in Southern Indiana.
The month of March is when everyone goes crazy over the game of basketball. This year, Indiana is getting all of the spot light with the NCAA College Basketball Tournament. Unlike years past where the games are in several different cities and states, every single game in the tournament will be taking place in Indiana this year. That s huge for the state!
It s kind of fitting that the tournament is here in Indiana because Indiana is known for its great basketball history. Not only that, but did you know that Indiana is home to 11 of the 12 largest gyms in America. These gyms are home to some of the rowdiest and best crowds for high school basketball.
That incident, we ve moved on from it, Nichols said. We don t even speak about it.
Nichols, who was brought on as an assistant during the 2017-18 season, has stepped in as the Lions interim coach. The 1995 Roosevelt graduate shares a close relationship with Moore, and even though his brother can t be on the sidelines with him, Nichols has vowed to do everything he can to steer the team in the right direction.
So far, so good.

INDIANAPOLISÂ â No one has to tell Jason Wille how remarkable the Crown Point girls basketball program used to be.
The IHSAA sports information director, who is also a 1986 Crown Point grad, witnessed the Bulldogs dominance firsthand. They had some great players and great personalities, and the community just fell in love with them, Wille said. The crowd support was incredible. I remember at the state finals those years, Crown Point had 2,000 to 3,000 people in their quarter of Market Square Arena (in Indianapolis). It was a big red cheering block.
Wille was a freshman when the Bulldogs made their first state final appearance in 1983, a sophomore when Crown Point went 26-0 to capture its first state title in 1984 and a junior when the Bulldogs became the first girls basketball team in IHSAA history to win back-to-back state crowns in 1985.

Then, it all came crashing down. I knew something wasn t right for sure just because I couldn t really put too much pressure on (my left knee), Glass said. But for the first week, I didn t even know that (my left ACL) was torn, and our trainers were telling me that it might have been something with my hamstring. I didn t find out until about a week later when I took an MRI. That s when they told me.
Glass said he sustained his season-ending knee injury after catching a pass and planting awkwardly in a Week 6 win at LaPorte on Sept. 25. He walked off the field under his own power thinking he would return, but when it was confirmed that Glass high school football career was over, he was heartbroken.
