There is no question that Class 3A Sectional 29 at South Dearborn next week is full of contenders and a pair of them squared off last Friday night as Class 3A No. 10 Batesville knocked off defending sectional champion Jennings County 60-52 in boys basketball action at the Dog Pound.

A third-straight appearance was punched and a first-time ticket was earned and after Saturday it was Oldenburg Academy junior Nash King and Milan sophomore Seth Thomas advancing to the state finals after swimming in the IHSAA Boys Swimming and Diving Sectional at Columbus North.
The two-day event started on Friday, delayed a day after severe weather postponed Thursday’s preliminary round of the sectional.

King won the 200 individual medley in a time of 1:50.97 and took tops in the 100 backstroke at 50.25 seconds. Thomas, who was fourth in the 200 individual medley, brought home a sectional championship in the 100 breaststroke. He achieved the feat in 1:00.78.
