Transcript
- 0:09[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to Part 2 of the Central Indiana Sports Reports week 5 recap of the high school football schedule in Central Indiana.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_00]: Part 2, I'm joined by Michelle Garmin, the sports editor at the Tipton Tribune and L. Wood Collider to talk about the Hoosier Conference with Tipton and Hamilton Heights, the
- 0:29[SPEAKER_00]: Who's your heartland with?
- 0:30[SPEAKER_00]: Try Central and the Eastern Crossroads with Lapelle.
- 0:34[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle is out at Girl's Flag Football on Friday night, so didn't watch any football, but of course.
- 0:39[SPEAKER_00]: She keeps up with what's going on Michelle.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: How was the Flag Football on Friday night?
- 0:46[SPEAKER_01]: The flag football was fun, it was exciting, it is very fast pace, I was pretty good, I've got fast girls, they are really exciting and fun to watch, it will be interesting to see how their regular season finale ends on Thursday when they host Logan's port.
- 1:03[SPEAKER_00]: at six in the know it will be hosting the section will next week all right Michelle and in the who's your conference it's still Logan's port on top of four and oh twin lakes ranked six in class three a right behind at three and oh those two will meet later in the season this week
- 1:22[SPEAKER_00]: Logan's port of 42 14 win over West Lafayette was even more dominant than that and twin legs a 38 14 win over class a number 11 central Catholic.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_00]: We will get into both of those games here in a minute this week.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: Twin Lakes host West Lafayette and Logan's port host Tippedon and a couple of games that we'll be talking about more about on Thursday's previews and predictions.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle looks like it's gonna come down to Logan's port and Twin Lakes and the Blue Devils look into play spoiler this week.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's exactly what Tippedon will be looking to do is to play spoiler.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_01]: They get loadings for on the road this week and then the following Friday they host twin legs.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_01]: So back to back they weeks.
- 2:07[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll have a chance to play spoiler against the two probably the confidence is two best teams.
- 2:15[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm Friday night, Logan Sport dominated West Lafayette 42 to 14 Elliott Baldini 21 carries for 140 yards and two touchdowns and Michelle.
- 2:26[SPEAKER_00]: What Logan Sport can do behind that really good offensive line is give the ball to Baldini and run the ball down the throat.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_00]: He's got good speed too, but he also is the guy you can give the ball 20 times to or you can just give the ball to Carson Jackson and scores about every time he touches the ball.
- 2:45[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, when I interview Zane Durham, we'll talk more about that in a little bit, but I asked him about Logan's port and he said they had three really good backs that like to get to the outside and then they're real hard to stop if they can get to the outside, but
- 3:03[SPEAKER_01]: sets are good team.
- 3:04[SPEAKER_01]: He started watching them on film on Saturday.
- 3:06[SPEAKER_01]: So to prepare for Friday's game.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, Logan's poor.
- 3:11[SPEAKER_01]: They've got the athletes.
- 3:12[SPEAKER_01]: They've got speed.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_01]: They've got size.
- 3:15[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be a very tough test with blue devils on Friday.
- 3:18[SPEAKER_01]: And unlike last year, I thought Logan's court had some games where great, you know, you and I commented, they had like a little let downs, maybe mental let downs.
- 3:27[SPEAKER_01]: So far, they haven't shown any of that this year.
- 3:29[SPEAKER_00]: none of that this year.
- 3:30[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, I also have tackle RJ Klamos headed to Wake Forest.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_00]: And that offensive line is really good.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: West Lafayette's quarterback Blake Biddle completed 16 of 21 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_00]: But
- 3:45[SPEAKER_00]: Red Devils managed just 78 yards on the ground.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_00]: And Twin Lakes win over Central Catholic 38 to 14.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_00]: Twin Lakes scored 21 points in the first quarter and led this one 31 to nothing at halftime.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_00]: Central Catholics two touchdowns came after halftime.
- 4:02[SPEAKER_00]: Cooper told the conferences best seen your quarterback 14 for 19 130 yards and a touchdown.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_00]: He also ran seven times for 84 yards.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_00]: David Baker, 16 carriers for 77 yards, and a touchdown, and also had 30 yards receiving Twin Lakes ran for 208 yards and held Central Catholic to 15 yards rushing, which Michelle means Central Catholic has four yards rushing the last two weeks combined.
- 4:30[SPEAKER_01]: Central Catholic is really they aren't built to run and until they really can establish a running game They're probably they're going to be able to score some points, but I guess the really good teams they will struggle now the good news for them Is that passing attack Is really good when you're playing in class A because not a lot of teams are prepared for that, but when you're playing in the who's your conference and you're playing two three and four A schools
- 4:57[SPEAKER_01]: is kind of hard.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_01]: It's your one dimensional.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 5:02[SPEAKER_00]: But then being ring to 11th in class A is ridiculous.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: They would be almost everyone except for maybe the top five.
- 5:11[SPEAKER_00]: So I would probably have them around six or seven.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's the bad thing about rankings.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody likes to look at records.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_01]: And the records don't always tell the story.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_00]: and we get the Tipton 69 to 14 win over Benton Central and the Blue Devils scored 14 points and the first and 35 points in the second quarter behind Junior running back Zanderum who had 348 yards on just 11 carries scored seven touchdowns on as 11 carries also at a 54 yard TV reception for eight total touchdowns Michelle.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, 12 touches, 400 in two yards, eight touchdowns.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_01]: And he could have had a night touchdown easily.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_01]: The 348 yards is a school record for rushing in a single game, and only on 11 carries is just great.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_01]: Him getting the 348 yards, it to mean means something because it came on only 11 carries.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Tipton did want him to get it when he got close.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_01]: Coach has said that something special, and because it wasn't touching the ball a lot.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_01]: So his final carry of a game, they knew where he had to get to and they said, hey, you get here a little past it, then go down or out of bounds or something and he did.
- 6:36[SPEAKER_01]: He took a knee, I think he scared the coaches a little bit because it was an awkward knee.
- 6:40[SPEAKER_01]: I think they would have rather shitched on the slide, but he could have scored on that.
- 6:46[SPEAKER_01]: He could have gained another 25, 30 yards and had another
- 6:50[SPEAKER_01]: Touchdown, but that's not what they did, but he because he got so close to the record They wouldn't have the opportunity to break it.
- 6:58[SPEAKER_01]: And he did the eight touchdowns also as a school record break in KD Routa Bush's record of seven touchdowns score at twin lengths a few years ago.
- 7:07[SPEAKER_01]: I was at that game
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: And we will hear more about that game and hear from Zane on Sports A and beyond with Michelle Garmin.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_00]: So please check that out.
- 7:17[SPEAKER_00]: Make sure you are subscribed to the Central Indiana Sports Report.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_00]: So you get that.
- 7:24[SPEAKER_00]: Also for Tipton Quintole was five for eight, 107 yards and two touchdowns, and Dakota Garmin caught two passes for 48 yards and a touchdown in all Tipton, 546 yards from skirmish, 439 yards on the ground on just 16 carries, and the defense had three sacks and two interceptions.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that defense, Zane made a comment said that he feels like the defense is starting to gel and getting on the same page when it comes to communication and that will be key because they're going to need that defense is going to have to be pretty good if they want to have a chance at Logan's port on Friday or against Twin Lakes the following Friday and if they want to win the section.
- 8:10[SPEAKER_00]: And Hamilton Heights pulled away from Western in the second half for a 30 to seven victory.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_00]: The Huskies led 10 to 7 a half time then outscored the Panthers 20 to nothing in the second half.
- 8:22[SPEAKER_00]: sophomore quarterback Lucas Whitaker was 14 for 31, 218 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for a touchdown and senior running back, AJ Flanagan, the Elwood native, 21 carries 175 yards and a touchdown and talented wide receiver, Jackson, Mike, Sel caught six passes, 111 yards and two scores will de Stefano added three catches for 89 yards.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_01]: I really think Hamilton Heights found its mojo in their win over Tippton and I looked for them to just continue to play well.
- 9:00[SPEAKER_01]: They have twin links down the road left in the who's a conference, so that'll be an interesting matchup for them.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_01]: But I really do think they are grasping exactly what, first your head coach Caleb small wants to do on both sides of the ball.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_01]: And I think they're adapting and just getting better at it.
- 9:19[SPEAKER_00]: So you're sickler, a senior safety for Hamilton Heights had 18 tackles, two tackles for loss and two sacs, and Hamilton Heights held Western to 147, 12 yards.
- 9:29[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle and I will be back on Thursday joined by the Action Sports Network's Grand Shows and Kevin Helford to preview and make our predictions for central Indiana's 20 best games.
- 9:51[SPEAKER_00]: move now to the Hoosier Heartland Conference where Eastern and Sheridan took control of the conference with big wins on Friday night Eastern 21 to 6 over Carol Sheridan 12 to 7 over Clinton Prairie.
- 10:05[SPEAKER_00]: Those are now the only two unbeaten teams in the conference, of course, Eastern is unbeaten overall 5 and 0 Sheridan started 0 and 2 is 1, 3 and a row in conference Michelle.
- 10:17[SPEAKER_00]: the comments and black cocks are now the two favorites heading forward.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_01]: Record wise, yes, but I think it's Eastern title to lose.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_01]: Josh has built such a nice team on both sides of the ball and they may have the best senior quarterback in this immediate area.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_01]: Eagle is really good.
- 10:38[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's hauling or he's a really good receiver.
- 10:40[SPEAKER_01]: He's a tough matchup.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_00]: And Eastern is outscored.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_00]: It's three conference opponents, one 21 to 13.
- 10:47[SPEAKER_00]: And Sheridan's outscored.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: It's three conference opponents, 121 to 21.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_00]: Eastern in its 21 to six win over Carol.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_00]: I got to watch this one.
- 10:57[SPEAKER_00]: It was a lot of fun.
- 11:01[SPEAKER_00]: Eastern led six to nothing after the first quarter and 14 nothing at the half Gibson Eagle 7 for 10, 170 yards.
- 11:13[SPEAKER_00]: You mentioned Bentley hauling or a 40-yard pass and also ran for a touchdown and added 64 yards on two kickoff returns.
- 11:21[SPEAKER_00]: Eastern finish with 344 yards total, 174 yards on the ground, 173 through the arrow and held Carol to 120 yards.
- 11:31[SPEAKER_00]: It was 21 to 6 Michelle, but there was no doubt who the best team in this one was.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_01]: There really was it, and that's Carol's a tough place to go play in the Hoosier Heartland Conference.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_01]: It really is, it's kind of out in the Boondox and you know, Florida's not a very big city.
- 11:48[SPEAKER_01]: It's like it's really tiny town.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_01]: So it can be a hard place to play, I'm, but Eastern just went in there and you had to be impressed with what they did there because the new Carol was going to try to make that game as short as they could.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_01]: They were going to stay on the ground and be content if they could average three, three and a half yards and a cloud of dust every time they carried the ball.
- 12:13[SPEAKER_01]: And I really think
- 12:15[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be interesting when Carol and Sheridan play because I really think Carol was probably the second best team in that conference, but we'll see down the road.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, bad words, 17 tackles in this one, Michelle.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_00]: They are at Clinton Central this week, so should be another easy win for them.
- 12:33[SPEAKER_00]: Jared in 12 to 7 over Clinton Perry, same story, Sheridan was clearly the better team, but the score looked closer than the game actually was.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_00]: Hayden Alexander 33 carries from 200 in nine yards and a touchdown, also had a 43-yard reception and quarterback Brock Hague in 10 for 14, 94 yards and a touchdown.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Muffett, senior Wider Seaver, caught four passes for 48 yards at the score.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_00]: Sheridan had 359 total yards.
- 13:03[SPEAKER_00]: The defense had six quarterback heres and only allowed seven points.
- 13:07[SPEAKER_00]: And Sheridan visits Taylor this week, so should be another easy one for them as well.
- 13:13[SPEAKER_01]: Sheridan, I was really surprised when they started the season.
- 13:16[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, and two, but they've really bounced back well.
- 13:19[SPEAKER_01]: And I think
- 13:20[SPEAKER_01]: the win the score even though Sheridan controlled that game.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's going to be a confidence builder for Clinton Prairie going forward as they can draw a closer to the HHC's elite teams for the last few years if they can make those games more competitive.
- 13:36[SPEAKER_01]: It gives you confidence and it keeps your kids interested in playing football.
- 13:46[SPEAKER_00]: six carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns and also caught two passes for 105 yards and two more touchdowns.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb Robinson, two for three for 105 yards and both touchdown passes and Kyson Alba at 109 yards and a touchdown on four carries.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_00]: Delphi defeated Tricentral 42 to nothing.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_00]: Tricentral still looking for its first points of the year.
- 14:13[SPEAKER_00]: And for Delphi's Aintest year scored twice, he had a 27-yard touchdown run and a 65-yard interception return.
- 14:21[SPEAKER_00]: And Logan Kaggle also caught a 22-yard touchdown pass.
- 14:26[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle thoughts on Tricentral.
- 14:30[SPEAKER_01]: I know they wanted to play our coach rich wanted to play a varsity only schedule this year.
- 14:35[SPEAKER_01]: He just thought it was important.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_01]: you know, um, that's just call and I understand his viewpoint.
- 14:42[SPEAKER_01]: I would have done it differently because kids had missed that on a whole year of football and then you had young kids and, um, I probably would have tried to play a JV schedule this year, get a whole season of football in.
- 14:55[SPEAKER_01]: I just, you know, I hope that the kids aren't losing enthusiasm for the sport, um, to where
- 15:11[SPEAKER_00]: Please make sure you're subscribed to the Central Indian Esports Report so you don't miss any of Central Indiana's best sports coverage including sports and beyond with Michelle Garmin.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_00]: Coming this week her recap of the girls golf sectional and her interview with Zane Durham coming off.
- 15:30[SPEAKER_00]: His record breaking performance on Friday night against Benton Central.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: And the Eastern Crossroads really looks like a two-team race with 5-0 lapel and 5-0 Eastern Hancock both easily winning again on Friday night lapel 42-13 over Newcastle, Eastern Hancock 56-12, over night's town.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_00]: And those two look like they're headed for a showdown on October 2nd.
- 16:00[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they do a showdown and I'm going to guess that's going to be a standing room only crowd to if it's not then fans you are missing out.
- 16:10[SPEAKER_01]: I just, they'll be quite a showdown.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm lapel and eastern Hancock are having them really, really good seasons.
- 16:18[SPEAKER_00]: And every time they play, each other comes down to the last play.
- 16:21[SPEAKER_00]: And so that's got to be the expectation again this year.
- 16:24[SPEAKER_00]: I know this looks like it might be Lapelle's best team ever, despite losing an all-state quarterback.
- 16:29[SPEAKER_00]: And it might be Eastern handcocks, too.
- 16:34[SPEAKER_01]: I think what's impressing me so much about Eastern, turning in got is their defense.
- 16:38[SPEAKER_01]: There's going a lot of points.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_01]: You know, not that they, I should say they've had strong defense, but their ability,
- 16:46[SPEAKER_01]: on both sides of the ball to really kind of dominate is, of course, it's probably why they're undefeated right now.
- 16:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 16:53[SPEAKER_00]: I think the fact that they just beat Northeastern the way they did in Northeastern as how they really good year says a lot about them.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_00]: But lapel right now is the target of the conference.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: They beat Newcastle 42 to 13 max lock cart seven for nine.
- 17:09[SPEAKER_00]: 206 yards and three touchdowns.
- 17:12[SPEAKER_00]: Three touchdown passes on nine attempts lapel in total.
- 17:16[SPEAKER_00]: 12 for 18, 238 yards and three touchdowns through the air.
- 17:20[SPEAKER_00]: And Jack Miller, one of the best running backs in central Indiana 11 carries 142 yards and two touchdowns.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_00]: It was all lapel from the start.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_00]: four hundred and forty eight total yards to just a hundred and fifty for Newcastle.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_01]: Well, pelgiff continues to roll along and return this season with a dominant defense.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_01]: Their offense has been really good and just it seems to keep clicking and just getting even a little bit sharper every week, which is what you want if you want to have a a really special season.
- 17:54[SPEAKER_01]: And so for lapel right now, it looks like they're headed that way.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_00]: And Eastern Hancock 56 to 12 over night's town, you mentioned that they're doing it with their offense and their defense.
- 18:07[SPEAKER_00]: They scored 56 points, but they forced six turnovers in this one, three interceptions and three forced fumbles.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_00]: Eastern Hancock now, 248 points scored and only 37 given up through five games.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_00]: That's the best differential in the conference.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_01]: That's what makes this Eastern Hancock team and treating is how good they are on both sides of the ball.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's what makes next Friday night or a week from Friday nights match up just so electrifying.
- 18:41[SPEAKER_01]: And I think we probably know what our game of the week is going to be right already for October 2nd.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_00]: There are some other good ones, but yeah, I'm pretty sure that's going to be the one we should.
- 18:51[SPEAKER_01]: I think of both those teams going into that game undefeated.
- 18:54[SPEAKER_01]: That's probably
- 18:56[SPEAKER_01]: May I have to be the game of the week, because especially with their history and coming down to the very final second.
- 19:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, lapel plays northeastern this week and northeastern is a good team, but that should not be much of a contest.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_00]: Northeastern did be centerville 56 to 42 nice win the teams combining for 108 points.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_00]: They also combined for.
- 19:21[SPEAKER_00]: 77 points in the first half alone.
- 19:24[SPEAKER_00]: 885 yards before halftime.
- 19:29[SPEAKER_01]: That's amazing.
- 19:30[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they leave their defenses in the locker room.
- 19:33[SPEAKER_00]: I think they did.
- 19:35[SPEAKER_00]: For Senatorville, Jason Holland Donner, they're a quarter back and basketball star, 16 for 25 to 185 yards and four touchdowns.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_00]: And there were a lot of great stats in that one, Michelle.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_00]: Northeastern's Trent Deloni, Rush for 185 yards, and two scores through a 40-yard touchdown pass, and totaled 411 all-purpose yards.
- 20:00[SPEAKER_01]: Now, pretty impressive, press him.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_01]: That kind of game probably left the fans very through.
- 20:09[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure the atmosphere for that game was pretty fun.
- 20:14[SPEAKER_00]: and centerville pretty good team they're now one in four surprisingly they have four losses in a row but um those are four really good teams they're gonna probably start winning some games and also in the eastern crossroads Shenandoah defeated tri 54 to 34 cash kali 18 carries for 248 yards and three touchdowns he also caught two passes for 14 yards and another score
- 20:40[SPEAKER_00]: Dylan Teter, 73 yard touchdown run in Aden Murray, added 42 yards and a touchdown, Shenandoah finished of 420 yards on the ground.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is an unusual year for Shenandoah.
- 20:55[SPEAKER_01]: The record is not quite what people are used to seeing from Shenandoah.
- 21:00[SPEAKER_01]: Some of the scores haven't been what you're quite used to seeing from the Raiders either so.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's because they're in a new conference and they're one of the smallest schools in the conference.
- 21:08[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's part of it.
- 21:19[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks once again to Michelle.
