If you missed Friday's sectional final, it was a nailbiter. Carmel hung on to beat Hamilton Southeastern 17-14 in the Class 6A Sectional 3 championship at Carmel High School. It's Carmel's 33rd sectional title, and its first since 2020.

The offense ran through Mychael Lewis, Jackson Treadway and Josiah Gilmore, who combined for 341 yards. Lewis had 175 rushing yards and a touchdown before leaving with an injury in the fourth quarter. Gilmore opened the scoring with a 2-yard run at 6:51 for a 7-0 lead.

“Let's take it one day at a time.”
Carmel coach Kevin Wright

Next: regional championship game against the Carroll Chargers

The Wrap

Strangers turned choir sounds like a pretty good Saturday. At The Atrium of Carmel, SongSquad Indianapolis taught a K-pop community sing of "Golden" from "K-Pop Demon Hunters," no singing or music-reading experience needed. More than 200 people had registered. Co-founder Pam Blevins-Hinkle put it simply: "It's about joy and connection." Hit that high note, friends.
