1999 Harrison
vs.
2015 Reitz
 
 
Perhaps the deepest City team to set foot on the court in the past 50 years; seven Panthers had a chance to play collegiately and six are still playing. Jaelan Sanford and Dru Smith could be all-Mid-American and all-Missouri Valley Conference selections. The University of Southern Indiana triumvirate of Alex Stein, Nate Hansen and Jacob Norman hope to propel to the Eagles to the NCAA Division II Tournament. Reitz let a 10-point lead slip away in the final four minutes of the 4A state championship game and lost 91-90 in overtime to Fort Wayne Homestead. A bit of a sting was taken out of the loss when Homestead’s Caleb Swanigan became an All-American at Purdue and a current member the Portland Trail Blazers, but it still hurts.
