It will be a powerhouse regional at Southport High School this Saturday as No. 1 Ben Davis (29-0) tackles No. 3 Cathedral (19-5) in the second of two games.

No. 4 Brownsburg (20-4) tackles No. 6 New Palestine (23-2) in the 1 p.m. opener with the second game scheduled to start at 4 p.m.

The Ben Davis senior boys basketball players have never lost a sectional game. They completed that task Saturday night with a 80-59 win over Pike in the championship game of the Class 4A Sectional 11 at Perry Meridian.

That win sets up a regional rematch this Saturday at 4 p.m. at Southport against defending 4A state champion Cathedral. The last time Ben Davis lost was in the regional championship last year 72-57 to Cathedral, also at Southport.

Since that lost to Cathedral last year the Giants have gone 29-0, including a 62-50 win over Cathedral on Dec. 10 in the Tipoff Classic at Southport. These two teams are familiar with each other. Cathedral won the Warren Central sectional.

Brownsburg won the Plainfield sectional while New Palestine won the Muncie Central sectional.
