WTHR Operation Basketball Names Play of the Week From Friday Sectionals

WTHR's Operation Basketball segment selected a single standout moment from the Friday sectional semifinal slate as its Play of the Week for the March 6 broadcast, highlighting what the station described as a high-leverage moment from the opening round of Indiana's state tournament.

The Play of the Week package, a short-form but precise feature that WTHR timestamps for viewers, is a regular element of the station's nightly Operation Basketball coverage. The March 6 edition drew from the full slate of sectional semifinal action played the preceding Friday, when gyms across Indiana hosted some of the most intense basketball of the high school season.

Sectional semifinal nights produce exactly the kind of high-stakes moments Operation Basketball targets for this feature. Teams playing for their tournament lives, with seasons on the line and home crowds at full volume, generate the sort of turning-point plays that stand apart from regular-season action. WTHR's selection process zeroes in on a single moment from across the entire statewide semifinal slate, making the weekly honor genuinely competitive.

The full Operation Basketball Play of the Week segment, along with a companion article covering Indiana high school boys IHSAA sectional basketball scores from March 6, 2026, is available through 13 WTHR. The station's app, available on the App Store and Google Play, allows viewers to stream the broadcast directly on mobile devices.
