Northridge routs Concord 71-41 in Class 4A sectional semifinal

Northridge took control early and never looked back, beating Concord 71-41 in the Class 4A Goshen sectional semifinal on Feb. 6, 2026. The Raiders opened with a 21-11 first quarter and outscored Concord 19-5 in the second to build a 40-16 halftime lead. Quarter-by-quarter scoring showed Concord 11-5-12-13 for 41 and Northridge 21-19-15-16 for 71, a margin that underscored Northridge’s early dominance.

The first-half surge set the tone. According to the game tracker and box breakdown, Northridge’s depth and distribution were decisive: “MaxPreps’ game page shows scoring breakdown and confirms Northridge’s balanced attack.” Concord mounted a more competitive second half but could not erase the deficit created in the first 16 minutes.

This result advances Northridge toward the Goshen sectional final. In the other Goshen semifinal, Warsaw defeated Elkhart 65-40, leaving the bracket’s final pairing to be settled between those winners. Local roundup coverage of sectional semifinals placed the Northridge-Concord result under the Class 4A Goshen Sectional alongside the Warsaw score, reflecting a busy night across Northeast Indiana’s postseason draws.

Northridge’s convincing win is part of a broader program narrative. Historical reporting shows the Raiders have produced postseason performances in recent seasons; a Jan. 31, 2023 South Bend Tribune feature noted senior Eva Fisher’s go-ahead three that pushed her past 1,000 career points and highlighted junior Morgan Cross’s 17-point effort in a sectional opener that year. Those past accomplishments point to sustained player development and coaching continuity that help explain Northridge’s ability to assemble a balanced attack on nights like this one.

Beyond the box score, Northridge’s rout matters to the Goshen-area basketball scene and to the program’s profile. A dominant sectional semifinal performance can lift local support, create momentum for the final, and give players valuable exposure as they compete for a sectional title. As one regional roundup observed, “Carroll, Tippecanoe Valley, East Noble, Mississinewa and Fremont are the only remaining Northeast Indiana sectional hosts with hopes of winning their own draw,” a reminder that sectional outcomes ripple across brackets and local rivalries.

Full individual statistics and the complete box score are posted on the game page referenced in regional scoreboards; those details will clarify who led the scoring and how Northridge’s balanced lineup produced 71 points. For now, the takeaway is clear: Northridge’s first-half explosion and depth carried it past Concord and into the next round of the Class 4A Goshen sectional, where the Raiders will look to turn a dominant performance into a sectional championship run.
