After rolling to two wins in the sectional portion of the tournament, Heritage Christian will play in the Lawrence Central Regional on Saturday. If Heritage Christian beats Hagerstown in the 10 a.m. game, the Eagles would play either Winchester or North Decatur at 8 p.m. A victory would move Heritage Christian into what Indiana calls it's "Semi-State" portion of the draw on Feb. 28. The 2A championship game is Mar. 7 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
