Bishop Noll
Sectional
Where: Lost Marsh
When: 8 a.m. shotgun start, Monday
Teams: Andrean, Bishop Noll, Clark, Crown Point, Griffith, Highland, Lake Central, Merrillville, Munster.
Players to watch: Sarah Kinser, Munster; Luccia Bracco, Alyssa Harvey, Crown Point; Allison Banasiak, Highland; Tori Balacki, Lake Central.
Outlook: Call the Bulldogs the favorite based on their fourth-place finish at the Pat Ford last week. Munster could make it close for medalist honors. Individually, Banasiak just won medalist honors at the Northwest Crossroads Conference meet. Kinser is pretty tough, as well.

Kankakee Valley Sectional
Where: Sandy Pines Golf Course
When: 8 a.m. shotgun start, Saturday
Teams: Hanover Central, Kankakee Valley, Lowell, North Judson, North Newton, Oregon-Davis, Rensselaer, Twin Lakes, West Central, Winamac Community.
Players to watch: Bobbie Jo Culp, Katie Davisson, Rensselaer; Hannah Green, Hanover Central; Jamie Frost, Kankakee Valley.
Outlook: Twin Lakes is the favorite. Rensselaer and Hanover Central should compete for the final two spots to get out, though KV has an outside shot to qualify.

Valparaiso
Sectional
Where: Valparaiso Country Club
When: 10 a.m. Saturday
Teams:Boone Grove, Chesterton, Hobart, Knox, LaPorte, Michigan City, New Prairie, Portage, Valparaiso, Wheeler.
Players to watch: Kelly Grassel, Marissa Kroeger, Stephanie Drake, Chesterton; Harley Dubsky, Jennifer Gough, Valparaiso
Outlook: This should be the Grassel-Dubsky shootout. Both went low at the Pat Ford Invitational and both have battled back and forth all year for medalist honors. Chesterton is the favorite to win — the Vikings haven’t beat them all year. Valparaiso will get the second spot an LaPorte is probably the last team out.
