Tippecanoe Valley announced the hiring of Eli Henson as their newest boys basketball coach back at the end of April, welcoming last year’s IBCA District 1 Coach of the Year and leader of the reigning 2A state champion Manchester Squires to the program. Henson said he was incredibly thrilled for the opportunity, also noting that he had long wanted to make it to Valley at some point in his career. 

With a sectional championship on the line on Thursday night, the Tippecanoe Valley and Columbia City softball teams met at Fairfield High School and treated spectators to an incredibly well-played game.

The second day of the girls tennis sectional at Warsaw featured just one match, but it certainly was a doozy. The host Lady Tigers and Tippecanoe Valley, both conference champions in the middle of great seasons, treated spectators to a fantastic match. At the end of five hard fought contests, it was Warsaw that earned the right to advance to Saturday’s championship with a 4-1 win.
