Fans of Hamilton Southeastern Royals Girls Basketball couldn’t wait to honor their state championship basketball team, but they did need to wait a couple of days.  The Lady Royals notched an amazing season capped-off by a big Saturday night win over Lawrence North to become Indiana Class 4A champions.

A large crowd honored the ladies at the HSE High School Gymnasium Monday night.

Head Coach Chris Huppenthal used words like “immortality” in describing how this team will be remembered in the history of Indiana High School Basketball.

“What they accomplished….when I’m gone, they’re gone, we’re all gone, they’ll always say, 2019, Hamilton Southeastern, state champs,” Huppenthal told the crowd.

No one in that gathering would disagree with Coach Huppenthal.
