Statewide scoreboard covers 132 Indiana high school games Friday

A statewide scoreboard tracked 132 Indiana high school boys basketball games on Jan. 16, giving parents, coaches and fans one place to monitor scores, momentum and midseason implications across all IHSAA classes. The page highlighted marquee matchups and offered live score tracking and sectional- and class-specific pages to zero in on local rivalries.

Night highlights included a top-10 clash as No. 7 Carmel hosted No. 8 Plainfield and a ranked matchup in Boone County with No. 18 Noblesville traveling to No. 25 Zionsville. In all, 16 games that night featured teams ranked in the statewide top-25, creating concentrated windows of high-stakes action for college recruiters, conference races and seeding conversations as the season moves toward sectionals.

The scoreboard organized games by IHSAA class — 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A — so readers could scan the schedule and results by the classifications that matter most to their programs. Sectional and class-specific score pages made it practical to follow on the ground: if your school lives in a particular sectional, the dedicated page let you track every nearby result without combing through unrelated scores.

For fans who could not be at the gym, the hub included instructions to create an account, follow favorite teams and sign up for alerts. That functionality is useful on nights with overlapping tip times or when a late surge alters conference standings; timely push or email alerts keep parents, players and booster club members informed about close finishes and updated leaderboards.

The scoreboard function also served as a quick-reference for coaches and players checking opponent results or scouting trends. Midseason metrics matter more now than ever: scoring runs, defensive adjustments and late-season form are all on display in live box-score updates that feed into game recaps and locker-room conversations.

As the regular season advances toward sectional play, daily live tracking like this helps local communities stay connected to schedules and outcomes, especially on clustered nights with many ranked clashes. Fans should take advantage of the class and sectional pages and the alert options to follow the teams that matter most to their town, and to stay on top of the shifting landscape as teams jockey for postseason position.
