MUNCIE — The path to Indianapolis is about to be set.

The Indiana High School Athletic Association will announce its football sectional pairings via its annual blind draw on IHSAATV.org tonight at 6 p.m. ET. The first round of the state tournament is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 24, with Class 5A and 6A beginning the following week.

Three teams from the Muncie area are currently receiving votes in the USA Today Network Indiana media poll — Yorktown (4A), Shenandoah (2A) and Winchester Community (2A). There are no defending sectional champions in East Central Indiana, as the area's last sectional champion was Delta in 2023. Will anyone change that this season?

Follow along here as we update live with sectional pairings for each team in East Central Indiana .
