In Class 1A, WC’s Lady Cardinals defeated Sullivan 2-0 at Sullivan, in Class 2A, Washington’s Lady Hatchets defeated Princeton 5-2 to win the Jasper sectional, and the Hatchet boys secured the Class 2A sectional title with. 2-0 win over Gibson Southern at the Sports Complex. The WC boys were defeated by home-standing South Knox 4-0. In addition, several area cross country runners also advanced to the regional round of competition. In the first round of the Regional on Wednesday, the Hatchet Boys will travel to Evansville Memorial, then on Thursday, the Lady Cardinals will travel to Evansville Mater Dei, while the Lady Hatchets will be at home at the Sports Complex to host Monrovia.
