Senator renews fight for one-class tourney

Indiana Sen. Jean Leising has introduced a bill that would return a single-class high school basketball tournament to Indiana. Leising said the current system hurts local economies because it forces schools to travel longer distances for games. It's been 14 years since Indiana began awarding four different state high school basketball titles. The Indiana High School Athletic Association responded Wednesday, saying it is "opposed to Senate Bill 84." The IHSAA cited a 2006 survey of all Indiana schools, which found just 10.6 percent favored a single-class tourney.
