State Finals Recap Carmel Greyhounds vs Cathedral Fighting Irish 3/23/13 When Carmel won the state championship a year ago, they did so as the first 4A team in class basketball history to win without having at least one player committed to a division one college.

Flashes hang tough for 3 quarters before Red Devils pull away in the 4th
Seymour Regional Championship Jeffersonville Red Devils vs Franklin Central Flashes 3/9/13 Let me start with saying, I did not expect either of these two teams to be playing for a regional championship.
