Transcript
- 0:08[SPEAKER_00]: You are listening to part two of the Central Indiana Sports Report week seven recap.
- 0:13[SPEAKER_00]: The Eastern Crossroads, who's your conference and who's your heart lamb with tipped and tribunin L would call either sports editor or Michelle Garmin and it's only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 0:29[SPEAKER_00]: Well Michelle, we're gonna do things a little differently this week opening up with the Eastern Crossroads because of the game of the week.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_00]: Two of the three conferences that you recap every week.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_00]: The champion has been crowned.
- 0:44[SPEAKER_00]: And we start with the Eastern Crossroads in
- 0:47[SPEAKER_00]: one of the biggest games of the year we've been talking about it since a week one Eastern Hancock versus Lapelle since Eastern Hancock beat Northeastern early in the year Michelle I've been saying this is a team that can compete with anybody in class two a and still this is a bit of an upset the way Lapelle was playing Eastern Hancock coming out on top
- 1:10[SPEAKER_00]: beating the top ranked bulldogs and winning the first ever Eastern Crossroads football championship.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_02]: It was a very big win for the Royals and for any player who was a member of the team last year and played in those games, it was a nice game of avenging last year's disappointments.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_00]: It was a bit of a strange game Michelle, two kick returns, four touchdowns for Eastern Hancock, a lot of big plays on both sides of the ball.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, LePel playing without their best player, Jack Miller, who was injured in the first quarter the previous week against Northeastern and don't know the situation with that.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_00]: a little short handed there and again a weird game so if I'm lapel and I'm lapel's coaching staff Michelle I say put this behind as it means absolutely nothing we won't see that team again until the state championship if at all it makes no difference in what's going on we still feel like we're the best team in class two a.
- 2:13[SPEAKER_02]: I think the coach is going to look at it and he is going to tell his team, look, you can't get caught up in press clippings or podcasts like ours or others out there that talk about how good we are.
- 2:26[SPEAKER_02]: And injuries, they're a part of the gaming and can't use this and excuse.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_02]: And the good thing is this lost
- 2:35[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say, like if he's talking to his team after we're done right, good thing is this loss tonight shows us maybe some of our weaknesses and where we need to get better if we're going to reach what our ultimate goal is.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_02]: So I think the loss can be used as a learning tool.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, Lepel learned that they've got a little bit of a
- 2:56[SPEAKER_02]: you know, maybe their special teams, their return teams need to get stronger and defensively maybe they aren't.
- 3:05[SPEAKER_02]: This is really quite as good as we all thought they were.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, somebody Eastern Hancock did a good job.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_02]: Their coaches and coaching staff are finding ways to exploit the lapel defense, especially on the ground.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_00]: You know, a lot of that was done by quarterback Matt Hunt, who was spectacular, despite only throwing a couple of passes in the game, lapel actually ended the game with more yards than Eastern Hancock.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_00]: Some of that was kind of the prevent defense toward the end of the game, but at one point Michelle, Eastern Hancock had 18 more points than lapel and just 14 more yards.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_02]: That can happen because big big plays.
- 3:48[SPEAKER_02]: When you get a big play or you start on the short field, totally yards has nothing to do with necessarily how good you are.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_02]: You have to see it in the whole context of the game.
- 3:58[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_00]: And it's absolutely right.
- 4:00[SPEAKER_00]: And Eastern Hancock led this game pretty much from start to finish.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_00]: Lapelle scored first, but then Eastern Hancock took control of this game.
- 4:09[SPEAKER_00]: Again, Matt hunt 83 rushing yards and a big 54 yard touchdown run early in the second half
- 4:17[SPEAKER_00]: a two touchdown lead.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_00]: He also threw two touchdown passes in 66 yards, Blake Winnington on the ground 28 carries a hundred and twenty eight yards and a touchdown.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_00]: He also had eight tackles and an intersection huge night for the junior.
- 4:31[SPEAKER_00]: Also a huge night for Hayden Jackson on a 15 yard touchdown reception and a play of the week nominee, a spectacular 86 yard punt return for a touchdown that kind of,
- 4:44[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't say put the game away, but was a big factor in Eastern Hancock really taking control there.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_02]: When you can win the battle, the trenches, and you have that nice ground game, and you can put together some drives.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_02]: If you're also chewing up times on the clock, and you can buy in that ability to chew up the clock a little bit, and then you can throw in those big plays.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_02]: It's a lot easier.
- 5:10[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, to put the game away, I think, because
- 5:13[SPEAKER_02]: you've short the game and now one big play or a big drive can be the ultimate difference.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_00]: And Eastern Hancock star receiver junior Luke Manchip, two catches for 51 yards in the touchdown, but why he did best on Friday night was 11 tackles and two fumble recoveries, three turnovers for lapel again.
- 5:38[SPEAKER_00]: No Jack Miller.
- 5:39[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're lapel, you just say, hey,
- 5:42[SPEAKER_00]: But we're we're moving on from this one.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think when we have him, we're going to be the best team in the state.
- 5:47[SPEAKER_00]: So that's that would be my mentality.
- 5:50[SPEAKER_00]: And while Lapelle struggled all night to run the ball, junior quarterback Mack Locks, Max Lockhart, 21 for 39, 200 and 23 yards.
- 5:59[SPEAKER_00]: He also had 75 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_00]: Liam Co. eight receptions for 103 yards.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_00]: And Reed Hamilton had a 75 yard kickoff return.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_00]: for touchdown himself for the Bulldogs.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_02]: You hope that Jack Miller is able to come back.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_02]: the season and come back a hundred percent you never know and i'm sure at this stage of the season lapel is going to keep all of that information in house and then you know they're going to be vague would be my guess on answering those questions as regarding to his health because that keeps their opponents on Friday night guessing and having to kind of game plan in two ways a game plan
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: First conference win of the season for Cinerville, 48 to 18 over Shenandoah.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_00]: Junior quarterback Jason Holland on her who we all can't wait to see play on the basketball court as well.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_00]: 12 for 15, 281 yards and five touchdown passes.
- 7:00[SPEAKER_00]: He also ran for a touchdown and counting for all five Cinerville touchdowns.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_00]: Junior Brilin rigs, five catches 154 yards and two of those touchdowns.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_00]: Senior Kyle Dickinson had to more touchdowns.
- 7:13[SPEAKER_00]: and for Shenandoah running back cash calorie 23 carries for 145 yards and a touchdown.
- 7:19[SPEAKER_00]: And Gabriel Cheryl ran for 212 yards as Newcastle defeated Northeastern 42 to 12.
- 7:26[SPEAKER_00]: Newcastle now 2 and 5, Northeastern falls to 3 and 2.
- 7:29[SPEAKER_00]: Cheryl 31 carries and had a touchdown to go along with his 212 yards.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_00]: Quarterback Carson Bell 8 for 18 110 yards and 4 touchdown passes.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_00]: Kipped in boat ride, a softball receiver caught four passes for 51 yards and three touchdowns and also had two interceptions for the Trojans.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_00]: Please stay tuned for the Hoosier Conference than the Hoosier Heartland.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_00]: Also, earlier Tuesday, we released our Part One, the CIC, and the three rivers conference
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: all of the scores, all of the conference races, all of the top performances from a cross central Indiana.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_00]: And then, part four, our weekly honors and our power pole, our week seven rankings.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_00]: Please make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss any of it.
- 8:32[SPEAKER_00]: And we move to the Housier Conference where Logan's port clinched at least the share of its second ever Housier Conference Championship.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: They also want it in 2024, blanking Western 42 to nothing, running all over the Panthers and holding them to under 100 yards.
- 8:49[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle Logan's port continues to impress.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they most certainly do.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_02]: I was talking to someone the other night.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_02]: And they,
- 9:02[SPEAKER_02]: said that they were interested to see if anybody could beat Logan's port this year.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_02]: They just, they were in a somebody who knows football and they were talking about just how deep and what our Logan's port is, how they have a three legitimately good backs.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_02]: They have, you know, good receivers.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_02]: up front and defensively they're really really strong and and I think that's the key to this year's Logan's port team is opposed to last year's I think defensively they've gotten to be very good this year and it will be interesting I don't see them.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see them getting challenged the next two weeks and I have to see how the draw goes, but I'm not so sure they will get challenged Greg until they possibly get to get to the regional round.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_00]: York town is awfully good in their sectional.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_00]: That would be a really big challenge.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_00]: Lundsey Central is really good.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_00]: Lures is lures.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_00]: So they'll probably be challenging the sectional.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: I would put it was the favorite, but Aston.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_02]: Lovingsport can score and they can score fast.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_02]: They're so explosive.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_00]: They are.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: And you mentioned the three running backs on Friday night.
- 10:16[SPEAKER_00]: It was Elliott Baldini who was spectacular 13 carries 132 yards.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: Quincy Jackson nine carries 83 yards and two touchdowns and of course he does a lot of his work on defense 10 tackles including a tackle for loss.
- 10:32[SPEAKER_00]: senior jackson walker had two rushing touchdowns and a touchdown reception and the sophomore Carson jackson had flooding one tackles including four tackles for loss and as I mentioned Western just 91 total yards 83 of those on the ground and Western's offense had looked pretty good the last couple of weeks.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but it truly probably it's it still wasn't really good enough to
- 11:01[SPEAKER_02]: slow down, um, low and sport, not experienced enough.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_02]: I just think, you know, and I, I'm sure Western's big, but I think what makes low and sport really so good defensively is, um, your Carson Jackson, um, yes.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_02]: And there, uh,
- 11:20[SPEAKER_02]: Those linebackers, he's, you know, whether it be on offense or defense, he's so explosive through the whole.
- 11:27[SPEAKER_02]: Even defensively, I mean, he just needs his defensive guys to occupy the offensive guy in front of them and he's got a good news for the football.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_00]: And those guys in front of them, that's exactly what they do.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_00]: Offensively defensively, the front lines dominate for Logan's port as well.
- 11:44[SPEAKER_00]: That's why they are so good.
- 11:46[SPEAKER_00]: And I still
- 11:51[SPEAKER_02]: I know, and granted, and I know it probably has more to do, maybe with the fact of the conference they're in and the who your conference is not quite as strong as it has been.
- 12:04[SPEAKER_02]: It's not quite as strong as it has been.
- 12:06[SPEAKER_02]: I just think that I think they're better than their number 10 ranking and maybe if they had football, we're kind of a football traditional power, they might be ranked a little higher.
- 12:22[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's true, and if people were seeing it like I am every week, they would have them higher because if you watch them, there's no doubt they belong higher than that.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_00]: And the game that Michelle covered on Friday night, well over a hundred points, well over a thousand yards, Michelle, that's what you call a shootout.
- 12:43[SPEAKER_00]: Something I'm sure you've never seen in all of your years of doing this.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was there when Tipton scored 84 points, but that was like 84 to zero over a wall bastard.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_02]: 84, I was there when Rinsalera scored 77 against Tipton and probably could have scored more.
- 13:01[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, that did not, that was that really extremely good Rinsalera team.
- 13:10[SPEAKER_02]: And, but I've never, yes, I have not seen, I have seen, you know,
- 13:17[SPEAKER_02]: games in the 30s, maybe one in the 40s 20, but I'm telling you what, I think it was like 30.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I can tell you, okay, 14 in the first quarter, okay, and then, I mean, it was just an amazing, it was like a track.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_02]: I called it a track me.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_02]: When even really like a basketball game, this game, this was more like a track me.
- 13:39[SPEAKER_02]: I, uh,
- 13:41[SPEAKER_02]: Tipton was the king of the big plays and, you know, ah, Twin Lakes put the drives together.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_02]: And then Twin Lakes, the difference really came down to two events, one was on Twin Lakes took the opening drive or the opening kick off and they drove the length of the field and they went up and Tipton had to force the punt.
- 14:04[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, well,
- 14:05[SPEAKER_02]: The snap never even made it to the punner it.
- 14:08[SPEAKER_02]: It just rolled along the ground twin legs fell on it inside the tip to 20 and soon it was 14 to zero and then and you know you're starting to think how my gosh is.
- 14:19[SPEAKER_02]: is a route going to be on.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_02]: And then Zane Durham, Zane Durham takes the hand off on the tip of his ensuing position.
- 14:29[SPEAKER_02]: There's a first play on that ensuing position.
- 14:31[SPEAKER_02]: He takes that hand off from sophomore backup quarterback Lincoln wrote a ball who will talk about here in a minute
- 14:47[SPEAKER_02]: And all of a sudden, it's 14 to 7.
- 14:49[SPEAKER_02]: And that's when I scored again in, you know, tipping came back, but it was a big place, whether it was a, a lot of long zane term run or if it were long touchdown passes from Lincoln wrote a ball to Dakota Garmin or
- 15:05[SPEAKER_02]: Zach Emberton or a one right before right on the final play of the first half one to uh fellow sophomore uh Wyatt Dunn who is related to uh our uh Purdue guy there.
- 15:18[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Jake Dunn.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_02]: So he made a really nice catch at the end of the first half to uh
- 15:24[SPEAKER_02]: make sure and make that a ball game.
- 15:25[SPEAKER_02]: And then the second play was tipping gets the ball to start the second half with a kind of deep in their own territory.
- 15:32[SPEAKER_02]: Trying to remember, I mean, there was so much that happened.
- 15:34[SPEAKER_02]: It was either a fear of stock that put them back.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I mean, in a long yard in a situation and wrote a ball set back to pass in the defensive guy was able to bat it down.
- 15:44[SPEAKER_02]: And Ben only did he bad at batting.
- 15:47[SPEAKER_02]: He was able to catch it and run and he only had to run like 10 yards to score the touchdown, but tip and still do not quit.
- 15:55[SPEAKER_02]: They just kept coming back.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_02]: They were within eight points there at the end.
- 16:01[SPEAKER_02]: And then.
- 16:02[SPEAKER_02]: told that you'll see where he had a lot of yards rushing, but 89 of those came on what I said was the game ceiling touchdown and then wrote about did throw one more interception, but that was at the end of the game to end that they're kind of trying to drive down and desperation type thing, but Lincoln wrote a ball filled in for Quintole who was unable to go on Friday night and he you would have never guessed that that was the first march to start of his career.
- 16:31[SPEAKER_02]: He was
- 16:32[SPEAKER_02]: and calm and collected in that pocket.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_02]: He really didn't make mistakes.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_02]: I know those two interceptions, but you know, he really didn't make a lot of mistakes.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_02]: And I always say sometimes what a ball gets bad and you're short of quarterback, you know, while I'm in these and make sure that guy can't get us, you know, he's straight, not allowed to cave in to where the pass can be bad at, or give his quarterback lane to throw into,
- 17:00[SPEAKER_02]: But it was, he was spectacular.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_02]: He threw a really nice ball, Dakota Garmin was Dakota Garmin on, and then Emberton had some really nice catching runs.
- 17:12[SPEAKER_02]: And as I say, White Dunn's play was spectacular.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_02]: But I will say this, I think that Cooper Dold is probably the best quarterback in the Hoosha Conference this year.
- 17:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 418 yards and five touchdowns, you mentioned 113 rushing yards and two touchdowns, 89 coming that on the game ceiling touchdown Coleman out in your their star wide receiver 14 receptions 260 yards and two touchdowns and senior Mason run from it 96 yards rushing 98 yards receiving also at an interception and take goyer on defense 11 tackles.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_00]: two sacks and a 19-yard interception return for it.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_00]: Touchdown for tipped and Lincoln wrote about 16 for 2384 yards and 6 touchdowns.
- 18:00[SPEAKER_00]: The code of garment is first really big game in a wild 10 receptions to under 18 yards and 3 more touchdowns.
- 18:07[SPEAKER_00]: Zane Durham, 17 carries another 200 yard game and 2 touchdowns.
- 18:12[SPEAKER_00]: And Zach Emberton, as you mentioned, 113 yards and two touchdowns, Michelle, I picked Tipton because I had watched Tipton's offense and Twin Lakes defense.
- 18:21[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought Tipton's going to score a lot of points.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_00]: And I was right, but I didn't see Twin Lakes scoring 71.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, it's when lace has it.
- 18:31[SPEAKER_02]: They do have a really good offense.
- 18:32[SPEAKER_02]: And like I said, I think Cupert old may be the best quarterback in the conference this year.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_02]: Um, though in the wrong, I think when told is is really good to adults got one more year on the experience on them and uh, you know, he has a misheep.
- 18:47[SPEAKER_02]: What makes him so good, I think is his, um, he's so fast.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_02]: Um, he's got a lot like, uh, told in his ability to scramble and still throw and but he's got a pretty good line in front of him.
- 19:02[SPEAKER_02]: I will say this after seeing twin legs.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_02]: I, you know, I'll be interesting to see what they do against low and sport.
- 19:10[SPEAKER_02]: How much success they can have offensively, but I sure will.
- 19:14[SPEAKER_02]: Don't see them beating them and I don't really see them keeping it inside two or more touchdowns.
- 19:20[SPEAKER_00]: Me neither, but it will be interesting to see what a high-powered offense can do against that Logan's port defense.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_00]: My guess is Logan's portal when every facet of that game, but we'll see.
- 19:31[SPEAKER_00]: And also in the Hoosier Conference, the best game of the night, maybe across the state was central Catholic 31 to 26 over West Lafayette, the night's winning at 27 seconds left on Tyler Smith's 33 yard touchdown reception, central Catholic 592 yards in the win.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_00]: Andrew Staples and threw for 442 yards and 4 touchdowns while at Williams, 12 catches 216 yards and 2 scores and Schmidt 7 catches 116 yards, 2 touchdowns including the game winner.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_00]: For West Lafayette, they're seeing your quarterback Blake Bettle who's also a really good quarterback Michelle 22 for 38 166 yards and a touchdown and one of the best receivers in the conference is Fielder Melke.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_00]: 11 catches 113 yards and a score.
- 20:21[SPEAKER_00]: Also chases out their junior 14 carries 115 yards and a touchdown Central Catholics at Western this week Michelle tipped it at West Lafayette.
- 20:32[SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, chicken gets to get staguda.
- 20:35[SPEAKER_02]: West Lafayette who I'm going to guess is might be their senior night and um
- 20:41[SPEAKER_02]: who if their pattern holds true and the who's your conference kind of like it's been I think the last couple of years they lose one week then they turn around and win the next.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_02]: It's such a jackal and high team.
- 20:54[SPEAKER_02]: I really believe tipten's whether it's
- 20:58[SPEAKER_02]: quintal or Lincoln Rotable behind center will be able to challenge West Lafayette.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_02]: The key is going to come down to defense and their tip is still finding its way and they get kids it get that kids it get injured or banged up in a game and they just didn't have a lot of depth there to start the season and it's kind of been a tough road for that defense.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_02]: Trotarian told it's after that game.
- 21:22[SPEAKER_02]: that he was proud of his team and he thought they grew a lot that night.
- 21:26[SPEAKER_02]: I know he was highly complimentary, wrote a ball, but and he said, he told us team and he talked about this upcoming matchup with West Laugh now.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get into that too much because we'll have our pre-production show here, but he did say, you know, this is an opportunity for tipping to go and get better because for them,
- 21:44[SPEAKER_02]: There's no conference, chain pitch and then site, so what the blue doubles are trying to do is get all the pieces in place so they can make a tournament run.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_02]: So and it will be interesting.
- 21:56[SPEAKER_02]: It's been a it's been a minute.
- 21:58[SPEAKER_02]: I think this tip is made that journey to West Lafayette.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_02]: So.
- 22:02[SPEAKER_02]: If you're into West Lafayette there for football games, Greg, the football field faces east and west, not north and south, right?
- 22:09[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
- 22:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's right.
- 22:12[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm sure that's probably a 730 game because about 7 o'clock, that sun is nasty.
- 22:22[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, that's one of three conference games this week.
- 22:26[SPEAKER_00]: Benton Central will host tri-county and
- 22:31[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Sport will be at Culver Academy.
- 22:32[SPEAKER_00]: They did not want to play each other for good reason.
- 22:36[SPEAKER_00]: Hamilton Heights will be at Twin Lakes after the Huskies defeated Benton Central 61 to nothing to improve to 4 and 3, 4 and 1 in the conference.
- 22:45[SPEAKER_00]: The Huskies led this one 55 to nothing at halftime.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_00]: Sockmore quarterback Luke Gis Whitaker was 5 for 8, 200 yards and 5 touchdowns, Michelle.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_00]: 5 for 8, 5 touchdowns.
- 22:58[SPEAKER_02]: I see what him being thrust into the starting thing is the heights hasn't really skipped a beat and he's making it, I mean, the house keys watch out for them possibly next year.
- 23:09[SPEAKER_02]: I do know, heights does have a lot of seniors, especially some of their better bigger linemen are seniors, but man, this wittaker is really doing very well.
- 23:21[SPEAKER_00]: And his backup, Grady Steiner was three for three and fit for 55 yards and two touchdowns and also at a touchdown reception sophomore case pal two receptions and two touchdowns 128 yards Jackson Mike sell also had two receptions and two touchdowns freshman running back Jack buter for carries 88 yards and a score and senior running back AJ Flanagan from Lwood.
- 23:45[SPEAKER_00]: at 84 yards and a touchdown for Benton Central, Tanner Pitstick, 19 carries for 60 yards and an eight yard reception.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_02]: I think Camelton Heights and Twin Lakes will be a fun game on Friday night.
- 23:59[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
- 23:59[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we're going to have a lot of good ones on our previews and predictions show on Thursday morning, especially the Hoosier Conference.
- 24:06[SPEAKER_00]: I think all three of those games are pretty good ones.
- 24:10[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think so too.
- 24:16[SPEAKER_00]: And we moved to the Hoosier Heartland, which speaking of Goodwin's, we got a Goodwin coming up this week when Eastern goes to Sheridan for the Conference Championship, Sheridan now five and oh, after a 52-12 win over Delphi, Eastern 4-0 in the conference, they went to Lenton and won 56-12 in a non-conference game.
- 24:39[SPEAKER_00]: So Michelle, as we've been saying, since the night that Sheridan beat Clinton Prairie and Eastern beat Carol,
- 24:47[SPEAKER_02]: It is going to come down to this game.
- 24:49[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of a, it's an intriguing game in a lot of ways.
- 24:53[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about more on the predictions, but I shared and has done a, their coaching staff has done a nice job of writing the ship since a disappointing one to start while Josh Edwards just as those Eastern comments just, they're just continuing to check away and just roll week after week.
- 25:12[SPEAKER_00]: No doubt.
- 25:13[SPEAKER_00]: Sheridan now 5 and 2 5 and 0 in the conference after 379 yards on the ground, building a 52 to 6 lead after 3 quarters, senior running back Hayden Alexander huge night 22 carries 295 yards and 4 touchdowns.
- 25:29[SPEAKER_00]: Brock Hagen 130 yards passing and had a rushing touchdown senior land in Muffet three catches for 90 yards and a score and sophomore Levi Gellert returned in interception 18 yards for a touchdown.
- 25:43[SPEAKER_00]: Sheridan finished with 509 yards of total offense and
- 25:47[SPEAKER_00]: for Delphi Senior Weider Seaver League, Levi Cockhill is a good one.
- 25:52[SPEAKER_00]: Seven receptions, 83 yards, and both touchdowns, and he's gonna get overshadowed because Delphi's not great, but I just want everybody to know that Delphi has a really good receiver and Levi Cockhill.
- 26:05[SPEAKER_00]: And Easter in 56 to 12 over-linten, really impressive performance.
- 26:10[SPEAKER_00]: They went down six to nothing early and then scored the next 56 points.
- 26:15[SPEAKER_00]: Gibson Eagle was his normal efficient self 16 for 26275 yards and four touchdowns also ran for 37 yards and two more scores his top receiver Bentley hole and your five receptions 100 and 26 yards and two touchdowns and also had an interception
- 26:42[SPEAKER_00]: Eastern finish with 459 yards of total offense and it's not a good Lenten team still win less, but it's Lenten and it's a it's a competent football program and that's a huge win.
- 26:54[SPEAKER_00]: That's a good Eastern team Michelle.
- 26:56[SPEAKER_02]: What's interesting, you know, and I applaud Josh because of wanting to get his schedule a bit better and when you look at Lenten and their tradition and you think you're doing that.
- 27:06[SPEAKER_02]: It's a great win to go on the road to make that trip that far down.
- 27:09[SPEAKER_02]: It will be interesting to see how much that went helps them because in that sectional you have got O'Kill who's playing the massive grants and the Mississippi walls.
- 27:20[SPEAKER_02]: And Alexandria is that can vary their attacks.
- 27:23[SPEAKER_02]: And then you have Tipton who is facing outside of
- 27:28[SPEAKER_02]: But in central, it's really kind of a dot lit in who's your conference.
- 27:32[SPEAKER_02]: Even though West Lafayette is so inconsistent, we know when they're on, they're very good.
- 27:39[SPEAKER_00]: and Clinton Perry now, five and two overall three and one in the conference after a 55 to six win over Taylor quarterback, Gaze Cousmets, five for nine, 167 yards and four touchdowns.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_00]: Senior Jackson Price, two catches for 67 yards and also at a 51 yard punt return for a touchdown and junior running back rider, Mitchell four carries for 62 yards and two touchdowns.
- 28:02[SPEAKER_00]: Four of the govers who,
- 28:05[SPEAKER_00]: held Taylor to 118 total yards for Taylor, Dylan Underwood had a 21 yard touchdown run and Braxton Roberts three catches for 52 yards.
- 28:16[SPEAKER_00]: The Titans now 0 and 7 on the year and hosts try central on Friday night.
- 28:22[SPEAKER_00]: The Trojans took a 42 nothing loss to North White.
- 28:26[SPEAKER_00]: They are 0 and 7 as well.
- 28:28[SPEAKER_02]: the tough year for traction control continues.
- 28:30[SPEAKER_02]: I just hope everybody stays in clues about football out there.
- 28:33[SPEAKER_02]: And this is a good learning year for them.
- 28:36[SPEAKER_02]: And everybody has patience as you try to we build a program.
- 28:42[SPEAKER_00]: and the team that's been a little forgotten in the who's your heart land is the Carol Cougars a 28 nothing when over Clinton central they led 14 to nothing at half then put the game away with 14 more points in the third quarter Michelle Carol's offense has struggled a little bit this year but that defense can still lead them to a lot of postseason wins if they get hot.
- 29:06[SPEAKER_02]: Carol is, uh, how do I want to say this?
- 29:08[SPEAKER_02]: Like, Carol is Carol.
- 29:09[SPEAKER_02]: And, um, that's right.
- 29:11[SPEAKER_02]: My guess is their defense is always pretty stout.
- 29:14[SPEAKER_02]: And offensively, they've always, you know, they have a good running game.
- 29:18[SPEAKER_02]: They're not necessarily going to be a high scoring team.
- 29:22[SPEAKER_02]: their ball control, they want to dominate the trenches, and they just might not have as much speed on offensive perhaps they had with one or two kids in the past, which might mean, which may make it seem like their offense is struggling when it's just taking them along there to get to get down the field and into the in-game.
- 29:40[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, just Carol being Carol.
- 29:43[SPEAKER_00]: Kail Hernandez was that running back on Friday night five carries 105 yards and two touchdowns including a big 58 yard touchdown run.
- 29:52[SPEAKER_00]: John Kerry 12 carries for 64 yards and a touchdown and senior land in Hammond had a 37 yard touchdown run in the win for Clinton central Luke Shelley 10 carries for 45 yards and had eight tackles on defense.
- 30:09[SPEAKER_00]: The Bulldogs finished with 99 total yards, 77 on the ground.
