The race for the All Sports Trophy for the boys has gotten very interesting, as Switzerland County continues to hold a narrow lead over second place South Ripley, 55-54.
With only the conference golf meet left to be played tomorrow (Friday) at Hoosier Links, it appears that whichever school finishes above the other will win the All Sports trophy, as well.
Jac-Cen-Del currently sits third in the All Sports standings, followed by Rising Sun, Southwestern, Milan, and Madison Shawe.
