The draws have been set and while there is a week left in the high school football regular season, attention has been turned to the sectional tournament, which kicks off Oct. 20.
Here's a look at the sectional draws.
In Class 2A Sectional 37, Greencastle opens at North Putnam. The two teams are set to play this Friday in the regular season finale.
Greencastle is 6-2 on the season, while North Putnam is 3-5, but has won two straight games. Last week, the Cougars knocked off Brown County, 58-8, while Greencastle defeated Owen Valley, 35-15.
Ahead of this week's meeting, Greencastle head coach David Stephens said North Putnam has weapons, starting with its quarterback, Christian Kramer.
"Christian is a heck of a player. Our team knows that this week is for the bucket, conference championship and bragging rights at Marvin's. The Cougars look good and it will be a big test for our team," Stephens told The Putnam County Post.
The winner of Greencastle and North Putnam will take on the winner of top ranked Linton-Stockton (7-1) versus North Knox (5-3). The Miners won at North Knox on September 29, 40-0. In the bottom half, South Vermillion (7-1) takes on Cascade (5-3) and Sullivan (4-4) plays Southmont (4-4).
In the Class A playoffs, eyes in Putnam County are on Sectional 47, where South Putnam and Cloverdale are on opposite ends of the bracket. In addition, both avoided defending state champ Lutheran in the opening round.
South Putnam, who brings a 7-1 record into Friday's regular season finale against Cascade, has gotten it done this season with a balanced offense and a defense that has allowed an average of 11.9 points per contest.
The Eagles will open the sectional at home against North Central (Farmersburg), who is 2-6 heading into Friday's contest at Eastern Greene.
South Putnam head coach Chuck Sorrell is confident heading into the sectional.
"We like our chances to play Luthern, but we will have to play assignment football for the next two weeks against Wing-T offenses and then get ready for spread football," Sorrell told The Putnam County Post.
The winner of South Putnam and North Central will take on Lutheran.
In the bottom half of the draw, Parke Heritage (2-6) travels to Covenant Christian (4-3) and Riverton Parke takes on Cloverdale.
The Clovers are 2-6 and in the midst of a five game losing skid after falling 43-18 last week against West Vigo.
Riverton Parke, on the other hand, is 3-5 and has won two straight heading into the regular season finale against Covington.
Cloverdale quarterback Tayt Jackson said the Clovers are "really happy" with the draw.
"We have a chance to go out there, get a win and then make a run at a sectional title," Jackson told The Putnam County Post.
