October 10, 2016 Volleyball State Tournament Pairings Unveiled With 398 teams entered along with 5,552 participants, initial matchups for the 45th Annual IHSAA Volleyball State Tournament were drawn

1 October 10, 2016 Volleyball State Tournament Pairings Unveiled With 398 teams entered along with 5,552 participants, initial matchups for the 45th Annual IHSAA Volleyball State Tournament were drawn this morning in Indianapolis. Sectional play begins on Tuesday, Oct. 18, and continues through Saturday, Oct. 22, at 64 sites across the four enrollment classifications. Those sectional champions will advance to a one match regional on the home court of one of the participating teams on Tuesday, Oct. 25, to be followed by a four team semi state on Saturday, Oct. 29. The four state championship matches at Ball State University s Worthen Arena are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 5. The four top ranked teams in last week s polls from the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association and headline this year s field. In Class A, No. 1 Christian Academy of Indiana, the defending state champ, will take on Rock Creek Academy in Sectional 62 at South Central (Elizabeth). In Class 2A, top ranked defending champ Wapahani will host Lapel in the Sectional 40 opening match. In 3A, No. 1 Yorktown will meet Guerin Catholic in the first match of Sectional 24 at Delta. And in Class 4A, top ranked Hamilton Southeastern drew Carmel in Sectional 8 at Fishers. Providence, which has won three consecutive state championships and 20 straight state tournament matches, will meet host Brownstown Central in Sectional 30. Fourth ranked Indianapolis Cathedral, last year s Class 4A state champion, will play Lawrence Central in Sectional 10 at Lawrence North. About the Draw To conduct the random drawing for the volleyball state tournament, the IHSAA places ping-pong balls representing each school in a given sectional into a lottery-style air mix machine. A fan in the bottom of the machine blows the balls around the inside of the transparent container and air then forces each ball up through a tube in random order. For example, the first ball retrieved from the machine will be the visiting team in match one with the second ball representing the home team in match one. The third ball to come out is the visitor in match two and the fourth ball the home team in match two. That same method is followed through all 64 sectionals as well as the semi-state round.
