The Tippecanoe Valley football team has been the most consistent in the area for quite some time now when it comes to regular season success. The Vikings have won six or more games in each season since 2019, going undefeated twice while also adding an eight-win campaign.

For the second time in a week, track and field athletes from all over Northern Indiana converged with a spot in the state finals on the line.

When the dust settled, seven of those competitors were able to punch their tickets to the state finals.

With the advantage of both a bye and home court, the Tippecanoe Valley girls basketball team began its 3A sectional journey in the semifinals at Rita Price-Simpson Court on Friday night.
