ITEM 3 · AND DELTA ITEM DF-W-58 — EVIDENCE BANKED AT FULL STRENGTH FOR ASSEMBLY
Indiana school sports ran one format for most of the century — one class, one tournament, every school in the state in the same draw — and the format's change in 1997–98 is the hinge of every Glenn season since; this article tells the evolution as Glenn lived it, and then settles the question the audit flags about the program's most repeated sentence. The evolution: the Falcons' first three decades played the single-class game (the sectional a geographic draw against schools of every size; the famous runs of the banked seasons measured against that field); the class era sorted Glenn into its enrollment classes (Class 3A in basketball's present structure), with the IHSAA's success-factor machinery moving programs between classes on two-year cycles; the conference frame turned over with it (the Northern Indiana Conference's big-school world, the Northern State years, the Hoosier North present of Schools). The re-verification (DF-W-58): Sports prints, on the South Bend Tribune of 19 February 2023, that Glenn boys' basketball's last sectional title came in 2005. The IHSAA's own Boys Basketball Tournament Success Factor tables — for both 2024–25 and 2025–26, the Association's official record of sectional champions by class — list "Glenn — 3A Sectional Champion." A program cannot stand in the Association's sectional-champion tables for the current success-factor cycle without having won a Class 3A sectional inside the tables' two-year window; the banked 2005 sentence, true when the Tribune printed it in February 2023, therefore cannot stand as the page's present claim. (The audit's second DF-W-58 thread — the Bryan Verkler pointer in Schools pointing at North Liberty's file where the Walkerton course stands — is a pointer conform of the same class and is flagged for assembly with it.)
