Indianapolis Broad Ripple, displaying fast and ready skills, handed New Albany their only defeat of the season to capture the 70th Annual Indiana High School Athletic Association Championship. The impressive 73-66 victory was the first championship title for the Broad Ripple Rockets and Coach Bill Smith, Sr. Broad Ripple opened with a quick 10-4 lead in the contest before New Albany poured in 10 straight points. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 14-14. New Albany jumped ahead 20-14 with some outside shooting by Bennett. By half-time the Ripple Rockets had built up a cushion of 33-28. While New Albany came back at the start of the second half to lead 34-33, this was the last advantage for them. The Rockets had a 50-44 advantage heading into the final session. New Albany never gave up as they tried their best man-to-man defense while the clock wound down. The Rockets spent most of the final period shooting fouls, thus gaining a better margin. The afternoon games were very close with New Albany defeating Andrean 69-68 and Broad Ripple downing Marion 71-69 on Stacey Toran's 57-foot two-handed desperation bank shot at the final buzzer. Jeff Todd of Marion was named the recipient of the Arthur L. Trester Award for Mental Attitude.
