Perry Central Girls Basketball to Face North Posey in Tell City Sectional

Perry Central Schools posted to its live feed on Feb. 18, 2026 announcing the girls basketball team’s sectional matchup "scheduled to be played at Tell City with a 5:30 p.m. tip‑off against North Posey." The district message included the rallying line "Good Luck, Commodores!" and, in the archived excerpt, the post functioned as b

The published Sectional 48 bracket from IndyStar lists the opening game as G1: Tell City vs. North Posey and shows Perry Central in G4, listed as "Perry Central vs. Game 1 winner." That bracket placement implies Perry Central would meet the winner of Tell City and North Posey rather than opening directly against North Posey.

Game logs on MaxPreps record a regular-season meeting between the schools: on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, MaxPreps reports Perry Central lost to North Posey 35-51 under the headline "Basketball Recap: Perry Central Comes Up Short." MaxPreps also lists the sectional entry string "2025-26 IHSAA Class 2A Girls Basketball State Tournament S48 | Tell City Perry Central North Posey" and shows Perry Central’s recent results including wins Jan. 13 over Tecumseh 68-40 and Jan. 31 over Lanesville 48-29, and losses Jan. 15 at Heritage Hills 32-47 and Jan. 22 at Springs Valley 51-55.

Regional coverage in Courier & Press reports a postseason result that appears to differ from the IndyStar bracket and the Feb. 6 MaxPreps box score. Courier & Press writes, "North Posey snapped its 10-year sectional drought in Class 2A at Forest Park by defeating Perry Central 52-28," and adds, "The Vikings have the second-longest winning streak of the Pocket Athletic Conference teams at eight games." That phrasing places the North Posey victory at Forest Park with a 52-28 scoreline and frames it as a sectional-clinching moment for the Vikings.

The three sources present overlapping facts but leave two concrete discrepancies unresolved: who Perry Central was to face in its first sectional game at the Tell City site, and whether the postseason meeting reported by Courier & Press (52-28 at Forest Park) is a separate game from the Feb. 6 regular-season contest (35-51, per MaxPreps). IndyStar’s Sectional 48 bracket pairs Perry Central opposite the winner of Tell City vs. North Posey, while Perry Central’s own Feb. 18 live feed and MaxPreps’ tournament string list Perry Central vs. North Posey at Tell City with a 5:30 p.m. tip.

Perry Central entered postseason play following a season that included the Jan. 13 rout of Tecumseh 68-40, narrow setbacks such as the 51-55 loss at Springs Valley on Jan. 22, and the Jan. 31 victory over Lanesville 48-29. Until the IHSAA bracket and official box scores are released or confirmed by the schools, the exact site, time, and scoreline for the sectional meeting between Perry Central and North Posey remain subject to verification.
