IHSAA Girls' Basketball Sectional 12 is down to just four teams as Avon, Brownsburg, Plainfield and Terre Haute South all look to win a Sectional crown this weekend at Plainfield High School. The Brownsburg varsity girls' basketball team will take on Terre Haute South Friday night for a trip to the Sectional final on Saturday.

Avon and Plainfield will meet prior to the Bulldogs' game on Friday.

Brownsburg comes into the weekend with an 18-8 record this year (5-2 in Hoosier Crossroads Conference).
