[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome high school football fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for the football report today with Grant Shows.

[SPEAKER_04]: Also, we're going to have coming up Scott Hunt of the Marion Chronicle Tribune.

[SPEAKER_04]: Kate Hampton of the Muncie Star Press.
0:51
[SPEAKER_04]: Chase Stevens of the Cocomot Post and Will Williams of the Lebanon reporter to give their reviews of Delaware County Howard County Grant County and Boone County normally we would have Rob Hunt of the Harold Bolton Richie Hall of the
1:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Hamilton County reporter, but it was the holiday weekend.
1:19
[SPEAKER_04]: And I gave some reporters the week off.
1:22
[SPEAKER_04]: I did not give Grant Shows the week off.
1:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I was taken it.
1:25
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
1:27
[SPEAKER_04]: He is here with me.
1:28
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to go over a little bit of what happened on Friday night.
1:32
[SPEAKER_04]: And then we are going to pick the offensive defensive two way players of the week, coach of the week, win of the week and team of the week and announce our top twenty power pool for the week.
1:43
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you ready, Grant?
1:44
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm ready.
1:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Would start with what I think were the biggest wins of the week.
1:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Clearly, Carmel's win over Westfield, not just that they beat him.
1:51
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think anyone is that surprised by that, but the way they beat them, the other one, Grant.
1:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we need to talk about Pittleton Heights.
1:59
[SPEAKER_04]: They beat Lebanon in week one.
2:01
[SPEAKER_04]: We kind of said, ah, nice win against the team with a new coach, but
2:07
[SPEAKER_04]: We weren't quite sure they were replacing a quarterback that released replacing a running back both of them and playing college football right now.
2:15
[SPEAKER_04]: And then they go out and beat Gary and Catholic, thirty-four to nothing crazy, just nuts.
2:21
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, we set it last week that if Carmel won, we wouldn't be shocked.
2:29
[SPEAKER_03]: And we weren't, I mean,
2:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll say this.
2:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I wasn't shocked that they won.
2:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I was a little shocked by the score.
2:36
[SPEAKER_03]: And just it seems like they controlled that game, you know, and that's just what they do.
2:42
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just the way they're going to play and they're feeling really good right now.
2:46
[SPEAKER_03]: But my thing is with the game, I'm doing this week, which is Mary and at Center Grove.
2:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I may come back and tell you that Center Grove, maybe the best team I've seen.
2:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're number two in the state.
2:58
[SPEAKER_03]: They're nationally ranked.
2:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Mary and is
3:02
[SPEAKER_04]: really has virtually not a whole lot of great chances so if they get out of their healthy yeah I mean it's about what it's part of it you know and that it's not too lopsided nothing against Marion I think there are some games this year that is a mismatch a couple other really big wins last week Anderson and western ended long losing streaks
3:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Huge wins for fishers and new pal, but what I want to talk about right now is the CIC because it is going to be good.
3:34
[SPEAKER_04]: Oak Hill had a nice come from behind win over Norwell.
3:37
[SPEAKER_04]: They seem like right now if I had to project, I think they're the number five team.
3:43
[SPEAKER_04]: but the top four, and they're right there, don't get me wrong with the other four.
3:47
[SPEAKER_04]: They could be in out of them.
3:49
[SPEAKER_04]: That top four, Alexandria, Madison Grant, Mississippi Law, and East Brook have looked incredible.
3:56
[SPEAKER_04]: That went by East Brook over Concordia, so impressive.
3:59
[SPEAKER_03]: It was impressive.
3:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they drove right down the field, first play the, first drive of the game and punched it in.
4:06
[SPEAKER_03]: And then controlled it really further west to the quarter.
4:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Concordia got the ball ended up taking the lead seven to six.
4:13
[SPEAKER_03]: And from then on, I was all East Brook.
4:15
[SPEAKER_03]: They couldn't be stopped.
4:16
[SPEAKER_03]: The play of the game really one of the best plays I think I've seen all year.
4:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Probably I'm going to see all year is right before halftime.
4:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Concordia's got a chance they're down.
4:28
[SPEAKER_03]: They're down twenty to seven.
4:30
[SPEAKER_03]: and they have a chance to go down at halftime by one score, having a six or seven point game going in a halftime.
4:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Last play of the halft, writer Gibson comes out of nowhere, jumps in front of a pass, one hundred yards.
4:46
[SPEAKER_03]: to the other end zone for a pick six game over.
4:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean that that that was virtually the game that was the game that was the game winning play and it happened.
4:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Jeff Adams and he wasn't going to give up that that leaving.
4:58
[SPEAKER_03]: But if you ask him, they played really on discipline in the third quarter.
5:03
[SPEAKER_03]: He's one that he came up and told us after the game that very, you know, wasn't displeased because they won.
5:09
[SPEAKER_03]: You'll take a win especially that.
5:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, especially that caliber, but it was just a little disappointed in their their poise, you know, on their only drive of the third quarter and see the game was over at half end.
5:23
[SPEAKER_03]: The game was over.
5:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Concordia was not coming back.
5:26
[SPEAKER_03]: The game was virtually over.
5:28
[SPEAKER_03]: on the one-drive east brick hat in the third quarter where they chewed over half of the third quarter clock they had six false start penalties and that that just can't happen and they know it east brick knows it belong there in the middle of a long week on button right now probably and and it shows that you know even when you win
5:49
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know we'll talk about this on the IE report.
5:51
[SPEAKER_03]: But even when you win, there are still expectations that you have for your team as a coach.
5:58
[SPEAKER_03]: And obviously one of the expectations for Eastbrook is no matter what the score is, we're still going to play to our standard.
6:04
[SPEAKER_03]: That matter for up a hundred or only up by one.
6:08
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's what good coaches do.
6:10
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why Eastbrook's always the way they are without question.
6:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Scott, I also talked about the big play by Gibson and the CIC race, so it's here for him.
6:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome back.
6:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Report.
6:23
[SPEAKER_04]: Scott Hunts, Sports Editor at the Marion Chronicle Tribune, who watched the Mississippi while Indians defeat the Marion Giants on Friday.
6:31
[SPEAKER_04]: And there were some questions coming into the season.
6:33
[SPEAKER_04]: What kind of team is this in and why would have most people I think thought they were going to be the best team in the CIC?
6:40
[SPEAKER_04]: But there was some question about that.
6:41
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think so far through two weeks, they've proven that they're the same.
6:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Mr. Senawai Indians.
6:48
[SPEAKER_01]: There's different faces out there, but a lot of what the Indians are doing is has not changed the whole lot.
6:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And to begin this season anyway.
6:58
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're looking like the team that's won.
7:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Twenty three straight games against the I.C.
7:06
[SPEAKER_01]: opponents.
7:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that
7:09
[SPEAKER_01]: that Friday night was their twenty eight straight regular season victory.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
7:20
[SPEAKER_01]: They look, uh, they look the part of who they've been the last two years.
7:25
[SPEAKER_04]: And I got to say if they get through this CIC schedule unbeaten, they've really accomplished something.
7:32
[SPEAKER_04]: Every single one of the CIC teams in Grant County looks really good.
7:36
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, kill has a loss.
7:37
[SPEAKER_04]: But of course, that was a last second, I guess a team that has looked incredible.
7:42
[SPEAKER_04]: And East Brook and just impressive to start the season.
7:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Madison Gray hasn't played anybody, but we know how good they are.
7:49
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think Alexandria has looked very impressive as well.
7:52
[SPEAKER_04]: See, I see races going to be fun.
7:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it should be a lot of fun.
7:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, you know, I didn't realize it didn't know it until today when I talked to Coach Osmond, but Oak Hill's played its first two games without it's best offensive and defensive lineman.
8:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Shane Jones, who was all CIC last year,
8:18
[SPEAKER_01]: on the offensive line, he, he took the, once day before they played Eastern, he, he dinged their shoulder and practiced while he came in the practice Thursday, couldn't move it, went and got it, looked at and he had, you know, it was, the injury was a lot more serious than, you know, what they anticipated, you know, coach Osmond,
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: talk like he's probably not going to be available for another week or two, but, you know, to take Eastern down to, you know, to lose on the last play and then Friday night, O'Kill was down twenty five eight and rallied to win, you know, three touchdowns in the fourth quarter against a Norwell team that's a potential sectional opponent to start to one and one would
9:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Without that, you know, I even made a comment.
9:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that you could go down your roster and of all the kids on your roster that you really couldn't afford to lose.
9:24
[SPEAKER_01]: He would be, you know, near the top and he agreed with me that there are a bunch of coaches they talked there would be three kids and Thane was definitely one of the three that they talked about.
9:38
[SPEAKER_04]: On Friday night, Michelle and I talked about how impressive that comeback was.
9:42
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, you lose the first game in a heartbreaking fashion.
9:45
[SPEAKER_04]: You're down.
9:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Three scores in the fourth quarter.
9:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Pretty easy to give up in that situation.
9:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Nobody's going to blame you.
9:54
[SPEAKER_04]: And they didn't.
9:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
9:57
[SPEAKER_01]: The record's going to show that Noel Wilson and two, but obviously they ran into Mississippi and all that first week and then.
10:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I watched everything play of the Oak Hill game, but I went through and watched that game today.
10:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I did watch the fourth quarter just to see how things went.
10:21
[SPEAKER_01]: For the first three quarters, Oak Hill's offense was kind of stagnant, couldn't get anything going.
10:26
[SPEAKER_01]: The touchdown that they did score was a seventy-nine yard run right up the middle by Bill and Arthur.
10:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the fourth quarter came and
10:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Junior quarterback, Connor, came to life, made some really good throws and got the offense to kind of open things up and they were able to run the ball a little better.
10:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you really had to pinpoint to play the game, it was fourth and ten from Norwell's, twenty five and dropped a drop to dime in the bucket to
11:04
[SPEAKER_01]: to Beckham land for a touchdown on fourth and ten and that pulled Oak Hill within that that closed them close the score.
11:13
[SPEAKER_01]: They got the two point conversion to, well, I think it was the one they missed.
11:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So that pulled them within twenty five twenty two with about five minutes or so to go in the game.
11:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, you know, that's a team that kind of, I think you saw grew up some
11:33
[SPEAKER_01]: through these first two games and and particularly in that fourth quarter and almost poetic justice that they get beat on a touchdown in the final ten seconds in week one and then turn around and and norwell alas that this court that will gambling touchdown with eleven seconds on a fourth and gold play from the one our team.
11:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Apparently so you know I think I think you know you look ahead to Friday night if
12:00
[SPEAKER_01]: If they're if they've got a chance to win the game on the last player gets missing a lot, think coach Osman and that entire real kills and I will take that.
12:09
[SPEAKER_04]: No doubt.
12:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Eastbrook also has just looked.
12:14
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, that's.
12:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Concordian doesn't win very much, but we know how good the program is.
12:19
[SPEAKER_04]: There've been years.
12:19
[SPEAKER_04]: They've won one regular season game and made long postseason runs.
12:23
[SPEAKER_04]: They lay up all season and for Eastbrook to take on a three-eighteen like that and control the game.
12:31
[SPEAKER_04]: I picked Eastbrook to win the CIC coming into the season.
12:34
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe in that program and that quarterback and coaching combination in particular and they've looked great so far.
12:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Week one Eastbrook defense had a lot to do with him beating Alex Norse and
12:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was a huge factor obviously again last Friday up in Fort Wayne.
12:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Their defense has been really good borderline great to spectacular at times so far through two weeks.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: writer Gibson is just he he's he's making a case to be the all the defensive player the year and the see I see if there was such a thing and you know perhaps in all all state player anyway and to a he's got two pick sixes and the one the one he had against Concordia Friday night Concordia was driving in to
13:29
[SPEAKER_01]: to score right at the end of the first half and make it a, it would have been a two score game.
13:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And he, he intercepted the ball at the goal line and went a hundred yards with it and made it a three score game.
13:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And pretty much I think probably took this, any win that can court you had in the momentum that went into the locker room with Eastburg and
13:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Eastburg got his offense going Friday night.
13:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, I talked to Coach Adams and some about it.
13:58
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he both these first two opponents that he's practicing.
14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Honored to North and Concordia both have been much bigger than Eastburg upfront.
14:10
[SPEAKER_01]: But he said that he said that Coach Adams has said his offensive line really played well.
14:20
[SPEAKER_01]: against concordia and when that happens, you know, the East Brook has never had a big offensive line.
14:26
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not how they operate up there.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But they need five guys or in this case, you know, he's talked about they've developed some depth.
14:36
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's got seven or eight guys that he can roll through the offensive line that can get out and move and block down field for the, you know, in that option running game that they like and
14:49
[SPEAKER_04]: uh... you know body i went for a hundred eighty yards and and gifts and was a i think three yard shy of a hundred and ran for two tests both of them ran for two touchdowns so all right let's talk a little bit about medicine grant there has been much to talk about yet because they it was going to talk about this nobody's fault medicine grant played a schedule that
15:10
[SPEAKER_04]: made a schedule for a program where it was then against teams that were in a way better position than they are now.
15:16
[SPEAKER_04]: Nobody's faulted.
15:17
[SPEAKER_04]: They've played a really weak schedule.
15:20
[SPEAKER_04]: They've had no competition inside the building and Madison Grant.
15:22
[SPEAKER_04]: We know how good they're going to be, but they haven't had a chance to prove it yet and play Blackford this week.
15:27
[SPEAKER_04]: So not a lot to say yet, but they of course closed the season at East Brook Island, at Alexander at Mississippi.
15:35
[SPEAKER_04]: So we're going to know pretty soon.
15:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.
15:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we'll know sooner than that.
15:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they go to a kill and we forward.
15:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I think that'll be a good test.
15:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, I talked to Coach Turner today as well.
15:51
[SPEAKER_01]: And coaches are going to be respectful of wherever they're playing.
15:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously, you know, Blackford's had some glory days in football in the past.
16:02
[SPEAKER_01]: New coaching, a new coaching staff or a new head coach, a new offensive scheme.
16:07
[SPEAKER_01]: He said that they're big up front.
16:09
[SPEAKER_01]: They're running a lot of different looks offensively.
16:14
[SPEAKER_01]: They've run some of the same stuff that Coach C. I ran with the full house backfield, but they're also spread it out.
16:20
[SPEAKER_01]: They'll five wide different things.
16:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're going to give massive grain a lot of things to look at.
16:28
[SPEAKER_04]: Grant Yorktown got a big win over a multi-central on Friday, fifteen to twelve.
16:34
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of low scoring games and Delaware County so far this year.
16:37
[SPEAKER_04]: And Yorktown's two-in-oh, and I don't want to take anything away from the Tigers because it's been a really nice start for them.
16:45
[SPEAKER_04]: But what Kyle Burrash has done over at Monty Central has been a really impressive, that's a program that's definitely going to be on the rise.
16:53
[SPEAKER_03]: And with the NCC being just the way it has in the last few years where it's not been what it has been in years past.
17:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Monthly Central may be at the top of that race, come the end of the year with Wafia Jeff.
17:05
[SPEAKER_03]: And we'll just have to see, but no surprises on what Coach Berges doing at Monthly Central.
17:11
[SPEAKER_04]: You say that, but I'm a little surprised that they've beaten Delta and been right there with Yorktown.
17:18
[SPEAKER_04]: They're just even further ahead than I expected.
17:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
17:22
[SPEAKER_04]: It says a lot about him.
17:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's hear from Kate Hampton of the Muncie Star Press about what's going on in Delaware County.
17:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's turn our attention now to Howard County.
17:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Taylor really, another blowout win in impressive style.
17:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Also huge win for Eastern over Northwestern.
17:42
[SPEAKER_04]: You've seen the comments.
17:44
[SPEAKER_04]: How good are they?
17:45
[SPEAKER_03]: They're really good.
17:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're the real deal.
17:47
[SPEAKER_03]: And last year at this time, they were not where they wanted to be.
17:51
[SPEAKER_03]: They were oh and two after two weeks and now they're two and oh.
17:54
[SPEAKER_03]: And they ended up getting it figured out last year and one of sectional.
17:58
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think the skies, the limit for them again, because I think they have just a talent as a team as they had last year.
18:04
[SPEAKER_03]: So they're going to be a force to reckon with.
18:06
[SPEAKER_03]: I would not be surprised if, you know, an undefeated maybe a one loss team going into the sectional later on in the year would not be shocked at all.
18:14
[SPEAKER_04]: May that sectional field is low.
18:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
18:19
[SPEAKER_04]: There might be sixteenths and that sectional that are all sectional championship worthy teams.
18:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
18:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
18:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Let's hear from Jay Stevens of the Kokomo Post about the Eastern Northwestern game, which he was at and what's going on in Howard County.
18:36
[SPEAKER_04]: Grant, we have expanded this year to Hamilton, Hancock and Boone counties as we go south and a few up north as well.
18:45
[SPEAKER_04]: It has allowed me to re-establish relationships with Will Wellems, who was a colleague of mine for, I don't know, seven, eight years when he was the Lebanon reporter.
18:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I was at the Jefferson Valley evening news and New Albany Tribune in the same newspaper chain and he did a lot of our Butler covered at the time and had a lot of good times with him at our staff meetings, things like that.
19:05
[SPEAKER_04]: He's now been at the Levenner reporter for eleven years and he's covering Boone County and I'll Friday he had the big rivalry between Levenon and Western Boone looks here from him.
19:19
[SPEAKER_04]: Joining me now is Will Williams of the Levenon reporter who witnessed his first in County rivalry on Friday and it was a good one Will tell us about it.
19:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Levenon looked really good against Western Boone.
19:35
[SPEAKER_02]: score ended up winning the game, forty eight, twenty-one scored on all seven of their offensive possessions.
19:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Racked up nearly five hundred yards offence offensive line played great for them.
19:47
[SPEAKER_02]: They really did a good job rushing the ball.
19:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Josh Parks said about a hundred forty yards rushing in a couple touchdowns.
19:55
[SPEAKER_02]: They're other running back to your Maya Howard had about fifty yards and three touchdowns and then quarterback Chris Hill.
20:04
[SPEAKER_02]: close to two hundred and rush for another fifty so really good game for the eleven and off and some western boon did some really good things as well uh... progress from week one uh... they're able to move the ball a little bit better just they're trying to still find their defensive uh... identity right now and uh... eleven and kind of capitalized on that uh... last up Friday night no doubt about after week one i was a little concerned about eleven and and then
20:32
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... they score on all seven of their offensive possessions against a good Western boom team and turns out penalty heights is really really good so it's not nearly as bad of a loss in week one is it appeared yeah i mean uh... and after week one the coach yoder uh... for levin and thought they did a lot of good things they just weren't able to finish off the drives that was different on on friday they were able to finish all seven of them off had some key third in long and fourth down
21:01
[SPEAKER_02]: in long conversions that were able to keep drives alive and yeah they've they've gotten better now week one to week two and now they got a really good test in week three where they're well welcoming in west Lafayette for the first time with their kind of new schedule that they've had to put together so it will be a really good test for them to see where they go and western boon host Crawford'sville this week in the first ever monon athletic conference games that will
21:27
[SPEAKER_02]: will be kind of a chance for hopefully them to kind of get the ball rolling a little bit.
21:32
[SPEAKER_04]: And we'll talk more about that in our week three preview for now.
21:35
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to know a little about Zion's villain.
21:38
[SPEAKER_04]: I think the thing that jumps out to me is Zion'sville people may be thinking, I don't know.
21:42
[SPEAKER_04]: We lost to one of the worst teams on their schedule, but I think Lauren Central's better than people think.
21:49
[SPEAKER_04]: And this isn't nearly as bad a loss as it may appear.
21:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
21:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Lawrence Central has a lot of really talented players and good athletes.
21:58
[SPEAKER_02]: The frustrating part for Zion'sville on Friday night was they shot themselves in the in the in the foot and it was more of the kind of their mistakes that Lawrence Central was able to capitalize on at one point.
22:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Lawrence Central took a nineteen to fourteen lead I believe was the score and they had only run five offensive plays.
22:19

[SPEAKER_03]: easy pick here for fishers, but I mean, Carnal definitely made it a name for itself and definitely put, you know, we're watching, we see it.

33:48
[SPEAKER_04]: I agree with you.
33:50

34:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Both Carmel, I have fissures did that this week, and I think fissures is an excellent choice for the Central Indiana Sports Report team of the week.

34:18
[SPEAKER_04]: I want to remind people that this is not who would be who had to head, it's how teams match up with their schedules, who they've beaten so far, whether they're good enough to be a contender in their class, so on, and a little bit of who would be who, and just our opinions.
34:33
[SPEAKER_04]: So here we go.
34:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Just outside of the top twenty, definitely worth mentioning.

[SPEAKER_04]: Zion'sville is one and one.
34:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Move them outside the top twenty after the loss to Lord.

35:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Fissures is one and one.
35:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I have them at number ten after defeating Lawrence, nor thirty-one to twenty-eight.
35:59
[SPEAKER_04]: This is what I'm talking about.
36:01
[SPEAKER_04]: They are far better than the tenth best team in the state, but in our poll they're number ten because we could consider all the classes equally.

[SPEAKER_04]: Madison Grant falls from six to eight.
