Greencastle is first in the boys’ standings with 70 points, while Brown County is second at 50.

Conference newcomer Indian Creek is eighth in the overall standings, tied for third in the boys’ standings and eighth in the girls’ rankings.

Teams in cross country and golf are awarded points based upon the final standings of the county meets.

The remaining sports are separated into divisions, and final standings are determined by “crossover” games matching teams against teams finishing in the same position in the opposing division.

Schools who do not field full teams receive a score of zero.

The five winter sports are boys’ basketball, girls’ basketball, wrestling, girls’ swimming and boys’ swimming.
