It was a short-lived postseason for the West Noble Lady Chargers. Falling behind by double digits in the first quarter, West Noble couldn't catch Columbia City in an eventual 58-26 loss in the opening matchup of the IHSAA Class 3-A Girls Basketball Sectional at Tippecanoe Valley.
Elyse Mead led the Lady Chargers with 13 points in the season finale, which has West Noble's roller coaster season wrap up at 7-15 overall.

The first stage of the IHSAA Wrestling state tournament is now in the books, and West Noble will have a lot of hands on deck next week.
The Chargers had a sectional champion in 190-pound sophomore Brogan Parks, who rode the top seed in the bracket with a pair of pins to make the final. And in dominant fashion in the championship match against Angola's Owen Shull, Parks was a complete control in a 16-0 tech fall to claim the posterboard.
Both Gavin Christman (138) and Joe Button (144) were both runner-ups, Leon Bontrager (113) was third, and Korbin Rassner (126) worked his way to fourth place to round out the automatic qualifiers for next week's Goshen Regional.
Peyton Franklin (175) and Eduardo Rodriguez (215) were both fifth place and are set as alternates awaiting a call to see their seasons continue.
Congrats to Parks and all the Chargers on their sectional success, and good luck at the regional next Saturday!

In appreciation of the work he did for equality in our country.
Certainly not the way she would want to go out. But let's take a positive spin on Destiny Martinez's historic run to the IHSAA Girls Wrestling State Finals.
Martinez went 1-1 in her first two contests of the day, serving as the first-ever West Noble female wrestler to make the state finals. The senior won her first match, then lost her second match, sending her to the consoles of the 170-pound placement ladder.
In her third contest against Munster's Allyson Compton, things were moving along at a slow pace, neither competitor really gaining much of an advantage. Compton held just a 2-0 lead off a reversal from the restart, but an awkward fall had Martinez bounce her head on the mat. Play was halted and Martinez was checked out by medical personnel and deemed unable to continue, forfeiting the match. Time didn't catch up to the West Noble senior as the seventh-place match against Wawasee's Kenadi Pierce loomed, and Martinez had to take a medical default.
So a 1-3 day is what the history books will show, but the one win in the first round allowed Martinez to become a state placer, taking eighth overall in her weight class and earning a 20th win on the season.
Martinez will always be the historical 'first' footnote, the first Lady Charger to take part in a Parade of Champions, the first to wear an IHSAA State Finals shirt with her likeness on the back, and the first to earn a medal.
From the West Noble community, congratulations Destiny, what a career! Be proud of your accomplishments!

A championship dream won't be realized, but Destiny Martinez can still finish her career with a win.
In the quarterfinals of the 170-pound bracket at the IHSAA Girls Wrestling State Finals, Martinez ran into Annabelle Redman of Columbus East, and ran into a takedown just a minute into the first round. That was the only move Redman needed as she worked Martinez into a sticky position and into a pin at 1:21 to advance to the semis, sending Martinez to the placement brackets.
Martinez can finish no higher than fifth, but no lower than eighth. Her next matchup will be against Allyson Compton of Munster, and then face either Eleanor Robertson of Franklin Central or Kenadi Pierce of Wawasee.
Stay tuned!
