Indiana High School Basketball REAL Sectionals


This file and its name were inspired by and are my way of honoring the great novel
by John R. Tunis in 1944 called "Yea! Wildcats!".  It was set in Indiana
and was based on Tunis's experiences and observations as he actually lived with
the family of a key player on one of the teams for a whole season.  And Bob Hammel's
superb real-life depiction of how it used to be is the non-fiction equivalent of Tunis's work.
The title is "HOOSIERS CLASSIFIED - Indiana's Love Affair with One-Class Basketball",
written in 1997.

The above two books should be required reading for anyone who truly wants to understand what
Indiana High School Basketball and its tournament truly mean.  No one who reads them
would ever want the tournament to be anything other than the way it was up thru 1997 - 
the ONE CLASS all-comers way with the sectionals set up to have neighboring teams
and let the chips fall where they may!



The 1<=>64 listing of the sectionals is now in roughly NORTH-SOUTH order. The combining of the sectionals into regionals will be done in the next stage. And the teams are listed within each sectional in that same NORTH-SOUTH manner. That was done by giving teams their code numbers based on their latitude, which of course indicates their NORTH-SOUTH positioning. The goal is to minimize the total mileage - that is, have the teams as close together as possible. By mileage, I'm referring to the sum of the mileages from the 64 sectionals. The mileage for a given sectional is the sum of the distances between all possible pairs of teams in a sectional. In a 6-team sectional (which all of these are, since there were exactly 384 teams in the most recent boys basketball tournament), there are 6*5/2 = 15 possible pairs of teams in each sectional. And the numbers to the left of each team's name are simply the code numbers used by the program for each team. And as mentioned above, these code numbers are in order of latitude. Thus for example, in Sectional #3, you'll find Fremont with a code number of 1 which means that it is the most northern school in Indiana. And in Sectional #63 you'll find South Spencer with a code number of 384 which means it is the most southern school in the state. The new mileage is higher than in the versions up thru and including Wednesday, June 18. That's because more accurate locations are now being used for each high school. In the previous versions, zipcodes were used to determine each school's location which in turn were used to create a latitude and longitude. So for example, if two schools were in the same city and had the same zipcode, this would have had them having zero distance between them, which is obviously wrong. But now, the actual individual addresses for each school are being used which gives the precise coordinates of latitude and longitude which can then be used to determine very accurate estimates for the distances between each pair of schools. total miles= 11096.1309 total pairs= 960 average miles between pairs of teams= 11.56 _____________________________________________________________________ SECTIONAL # 1 miles= 57 average= 4 2 SB Clay A 6 SB St. Joseph's B 13 SB Washington A 15 SB Adams A 17 SB Riley A 19 Mish.
