As pointed out in the article from the Indy Star the sectional at Lawrence Central is widely considered the hottest ticket in high school basketball.
The game was scheduled to be played March 6th, the same day that the first person in Indiana tested positive for the virus. Ultimately, the school like many others around the state made the decision to continue with the tournament…around 2,800 fans attended the section.
Ultimately, five people that were in attendance for that game died from the virus and a dozen others tested positive. Despite the commonalities in the exposure there is no way to tell how they all got sick.
