It’s officially winter in Indianapolis. Football is over — congratulations to Warren Central on an undefeated season, capped by a 6A state title — and snow is on the ground. These two happenings pave the way to basketball season, a most cherished time of year in the Hoosier state.
Shortridge (2-4) is carrying the load for the girls. The other three IPS schools haven’t chalked up a win yet. Crispus Attucks (2-0) is doing the same for the boys, with the other three schools starting a combined 0-4.
