Girls Tournament is celebrating 50 years this year
The 50th year of the IHSAA Girls Basketball State Tournament is a celebration of athletes who have competed fiercely, fans who have supported passionately, and communities that have embraced the spirit of basketball in every corner of the Hoosier State and everywhere in between. This milestone is a tribute to the many players, coaches, families, and supporters who have made the tournament what it is today—a vibrant and integral part of Indiana's sports culture.
With that, the Indiana High School Athletic Association, Inc. proudly announces the pairings for a golden milestone - the 50th IHSAA Girls Basketball State Tournament presented by the Indiana Fever and Indiana Pacers.
