Seventeen of the 21 girls’ basketball programs in the Hoosier Hills Hoops coverage area have completed their regular seasons. Four have one final game Saturday.

That includes Madison at Scottsburg in the Hoosier Hills Hoops Game of the Night. The 11-7 Cubs and 10-11 Warriorettes will both participate in next week’s Class 3A sectional at North Harrison.

Clarksville (3-18) and South Central (1-14) meet in the lone game between two local teams. Also, North Harrison (9-11) will try to end its 7-game losing streak at Evansville North (17-3).
