Indiana High School Boy's Basketball Tournament

The Indiana High School Men's Basketball Tournament, organized by the IHSAA, is widely believed to be the most popular and prestigious of any state high school basketball tournament. Due to the basketball talent in Indiana, the tournament has often featured future NCAA and NBA players. Milan's run in the 1953-54 season inspired the movie Hoosiers. In the early twenties, it was dominated by what is considered the best high school basketball team ever assembled, Franklin Wonder Five. The team won three consecutive state championships, followed by a college championship at Franklin College. They won several games against professional teams. For the 1997-98 season, it was announced schools would be divided into four classes based on enrollment, and each class would have its own tournament and compete for its own championship. This decision, known colloquially as the Classification, has been extremely unpopular among fans, and saw significantly reduced interest in the tournament.
