1996 Indiana High School Basketball Regional- New Castle vs Batesville
Nearly 10,000 people packed the worlds largest high school gymnasium to see David and Goliath. Batesville was the last hope of Hoosier diehards. The last chance that a small rural school could win the fabled Indiana High School Tournament. No team had done it since Milan in 1954. I've been to World Series Games, NCAA Finals for basketball, and played football games at Clemson, The Swamp and Auburn. Nothing has compared to the electricity that was in that massive high school gym that day. The home team was outnumbered. Every non-New Castle resident was cheering hard for the 5'10" Michael Menser led Bulldogs of Batesville. He was absolutely magic that day but in the end, New Castle flung a half court shot at the buzzer and ended Cinderella's run. I had goosebumps just writing that. Picture of this "cathedral".
