Brownsburg girls basketball team has tough road in November

The high school basketball season starts tonight when the Brownsburg girls team hosts Decatur Central. This is "the" year for Brownsburg, as they return 8 of their top 9 players from last year's 18-6 squad. There are no cupcakes to start the season as BBurg plays teams that contributed to 4 of last year's 6 losses in the first 3 weeks.

Tonight, the team plays Decatur Central, whom they beat in their last matchup in the sectional semis last year to avenge a loss that started the season. Decatur has lost at least two starters, with one of those being Indiana All-Star Anna Munn. BBurg is 1-3 against DC over the last 5 years.

On Saturday, the girls travel to two-time defending state champs Ben Davis. The Giants lost two Indiana All-Stars from last year's team, but they have so much depth that they can still be a dangerous team. BBurg is 0-6 against BD in the last 5 years, including two losses last season.

The final three games in November are Covenant Christian (2A, new to the schedule), Avon (always tough county rival), and Lafayette Jeff (BBurg is 0-5 against them over the last 5 years). Getting through November with a winning record would be a great accomplishment for this team considering past history.

GO DOGS!!!!
