0:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome high school football fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for the first edition of the Central Indiana Sports Report's recap of each week of the high school football season.
0:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I am your host Greg Mangell.
0:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I will be joined every week by some combination of Grant Shows, Kevin Helfrick and Michelle Garmin.
0:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Kevin Hellfrik, who called the Eastern 28-27 win over Oak Hill and we'll get their recap on that.
0:40
[SPEAKER_02]: And there are opinions on all of the games as we recap a week one of the high school football season in four segments.
0:47
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to start with the first one is the CIC, the Hoosier Conference, the Hoosier Heartland and the Eastern Crossroads Conference, which contains our 12 local teams.
1:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Then in segment two, we're going to talk about the big schools in the Hoosier Crossroads, the Metropolitan, the Hoosier Heritage, and the NCC.
1:08
[SPEAKER_02]: In the third segment, we're going to talk about all the other conferences around the state, the Circle City, the Mid-State, the Hoosier Legends, the Sagamore, the Monan, the Indiana Crossroads, the Capital City, the Three Rivers,
1:22
[SPEAKER_02]: the tri-eastern and our local independence in it and the fourth segment we're going to talk about our players of the week, nominees and pick our player of the week, win of the week, upset of the week, coach of the week and our, we're going to have a lot of power polls and it's going to be a lot of fun.
1:41
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to think about an hour to do this.
1:43
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna go through some of it pretty quickly, and some of it we're gonna go through with some detail including Eastern and Oak Hill.
1:50
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna talk with Will Williams about the Pendleton Heights 11 in game.
1:54
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to hear from Muncie Star Press, Sports Editor Kate Hampton about the Muncie Central Delta game, which came down to the last play, and we're going to have a lot of fun.
2:05
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's start with the conference.
2:07
[SPEAKER_02]: It was nice enough to name itself after this podcast, the central Indiana conference.
2:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And what was our game of the week?
2:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Turned out to not be a very good game, and that was Tipton, 48, Frankton, 14, Quinn told
2:22
[SPEAKER_02]: in the win, and that gives the toll to Garmin combination.
2:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven touchdown passes in their last two games against Frank, and they wish they could play for him every week.
2:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can find a full recap on that on Michelle Garmin's new podcast on the Central Indiana Sports Report called Sports A and Beyond with Michelle Garmin.
2:41
[SPEAKER_02]: We did a full recap on Saturday.
2:43
[SPEAKER_02]: And by the way, as we go through these games, I'll point out our Central Indiana Sports Report award nominees,
2:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Then Grant and Kevin will select the winners in our final segment.
2:54
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, our second game was class 2A number 6 Eastern 28 to 27 over grants all the matter Oak Hill Grant and Kevin called the game how did they get it done Grant?
3:08
[SPEAKER_05]: It was a real competitive game, started off real slow, I thought, where both offenses really took kind of, you know, a quarter to get going.
3:16
[SPEAKER_05]: And then once they did, it was like the flood gates open.
3:19
[SPEAKER_05]: There were seven straight drives between the two teams where a touchdown was scored.
3:24
[SPEAKER_05]: Again, that's between Oak Hill and Eastern.
3:28
[SPEAKER_05]: And I thought it was a real competitive game.
3:30
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, killed it a lot of nice things.
3:32
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought, you know, which was a team that typically is going to run the wing T and hand the ball off a lot.
3:38
[SPEAKER_05]: Through the ball, well on third down, even on first and second down, I thought really jet-out.
3:44
[SPEAKER_05]: Their quarterback made some nice throws, connected with my or middle's worth.
3:48
[SPEAKER_05]: And Kavante Simmons who's, you know, playing this first varsity football game in his career as it played football since eight grade, but it was a real competitive game.
3:58
[SPEAKER_05]: It was kind of a shame, you know, I killed it and get it down because it was my pick, but Kevin's pick got a ride and picked the Eastern and I'm curious Kevin's thoughts on on Eastern on Friday night.
4:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I had the best football player on the field.
4:11
[SPEAKER_01]: No doubt about it.
4:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Gibson Eagle was his feet in his arm that was a difference in this one.
4:16
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was again, it must have felt like deja vu for coach Osmond in the goal and Eagles as Eastern on their last real position in the football game through a deep slant touchdown pass got behind the Oak Hill defense.
4:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And two years in a row now, the Oak Hill's basically lost on the last position.
4:31
[SPEAKER_01]: That Eastern had Oak Hill did have a chance there at the end.
4:35
[SPEAKER_01]: and it came down to the only turnover of the night okay was striving in the eastern territory and uh... you know jet got hit from behind nothing he can really do in the ball bounce eastern away and sealed the deal on the night but uh... i was impressed with the way of kill competed i wasn't quite sure how close this game would be uh... my thought maybe eastern had the better skill players but uh... i thought you know i thought obviously archer had a big night with three touchdowns and hot
4:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it really proved himself throwing the football.
5:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I think okay.
5:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I was going to have to have some balances here.
5:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if they're going to have any kind of success in the CIC and yeah, so I'm about Eastern, you know, I was somewhat impressed with him, but I don't know that I'm impressed that there's a number 16 into a I that's yet to be determined.
5:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're going to talk a little more about Eastern coming up in the who's your heart land conference segment, but after Friday night it really looks like the CIC is wide open.
5:26
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to talk about the rest of the results, but okay, it might be a contender.
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I think my early take is I think I like Alexander to come out and see I see just looking at the games on the first week.
5:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I'm going with Alexander's my pick to be the CIC champ this year.
5:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not making a pick yet.
5:45
[SPEAKER_02]: A way to see weeks.
5:47
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, one of another one of those contenders, Madison Grant was the only CIC team to win on Friday, beating Belmont 16 to 12 Yargiles, trail six, the nothing at halftime and defensively it was pretty much the same story as we've seen for Madison Grant over the last couple of years completely shut down the running game of Belmont to the tune of minus 14 yards and game up 267 yards through the air as kind of been the story.
6:14
[SPEAKER_05]: I think time will tell with Madison Grant just not really sure yet, you know, they're going to run the the full house back field.
6:22
[SPEAKER_05]: They're going to put three guys in the back, they're not really the wing team, but you put the quarterback under center and have three different guys.
6:28
[SPEAKER_05]: You can disguise different ways to hand the ball off it.
6:32
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm sure that Belmont came out a little juice that was 49 straight games.
6:37
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a team that is not one of games since 2021.
6:41
[SPEAKER_05]: and they've had four straight O and 10 seasons and they felt like they had a chance and I'm sure they're feeling pretty hurt after losing that game, but a little more confident.
6:51
[SPEAKER_05]: Sure, and the conference they play and doesn't do them any favors.
6:55
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a loaded conference.
6:56
[SPEAKER_05]: The Northeast stayed up there.
6:57
[SPEAKER_05]: That's right.
6:58
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, with Norwell and Weo and East Novel and all of them, Huntington North.
7:02
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just a really good conference.
7:04
[SPEAKER_05]: So look out for Madison Grant.
7:05
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they'll get better.
7:06
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they'll improve.
7:08
[SPEAKER_05]: of a big opportunity on Friday against Southwood to do so.
7:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you are a man's ingredient, though you're a little bit concerned because you did lose your two best running backs from a year ago, so all fancy, you know, that's got me a little concern that they came out and struggled a bit against a team.
7:24
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they lost, like he said, now 50 in a row.
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, and I think defensively it's the same bugaboo that got him kicked out of the post these in both years in a row.
7:32
[SPEAKER_01]: They gave him a lot of passing yards and South Adams last couple of years was knocked them out of the sectional, so I think that's got to be a concern as well.
7:40
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to have to shore that up.
7:41
[SPEAKER_01]: If they're going to win a section of this year, no doubt they're going to be competitive in the CIC, they're going to get better each week, but that first week kind of surprised me a little bit from Asengran.
7:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of the main reasons that the CIC looks wide open is Norwell 34.
7:58
[SPEAKER_02]: This is Sinnohaw 27 after Mrs. Sinnohaw beat Norwell 35 to nothing the last two years, kind of a dramatic turnaround from last year grant.
8:05
[SPEAKER_05]: I think it shocks some people here, you know, Mr. Sinole has pretty much their entire offensive line coming back that started last year, went to the sexual championship at a chance to beat Fort Wayne Loer's.
8:17
[SPEAKER_05]: They returned Levi Crandall and Jake Schwartz, their quarterback from last year, Levi Crandall.
8:22
[SPEAKER_05]: kind of was in the shadow of Elijah Monday, who was there all all conference back all state running back, but Levi Crandell was was great too.
8:32
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, he's a guy that probably would play and start on every other team in the area, probably in the state.
8:37
[SPEAKER_05]: I was at that level.
8:38
[SPEAKER_05]: And so.
8:39
[SPEAKER_05]: Miss Sinole losing that game certainly is a little surprising nor wells improved and I honestly don't know I think I think Miss Sinole like Madison Grant can get it figured out that was a good early test they got Marion Friday and I think it would be interesting to see others athletes match up there's good athletes marians young but Miss Sinole was a team of some experience and I think they could bounce back.
9:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, of all the scores that crossed the wire that night, I think this was the most surprising to me.
9:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I did not expect Mrs. Sennelwald to lose to Norwell.
9:12
[SPEAKER_01]: One thing that might be closer than it's been for the last few years, but boy, I didn't see this when coming quite honestly with what Mrs. Sennelwald had returning and the way their defense is played over the last several years, we're talking about team soy loss, had lost four times in the last three seasons with a lot of guys back.
9:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the disappointing home loss to start the season.
9:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to have a big rebound.
9:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this week against Marion though.
9:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they'll be ready to play.
9:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Miss Civil, kind of shocking.
9:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Norwell did improve last year, but they're still in one, two games.
9:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is the day.
9:40
[SPEAKER_01]: A juggernaut that Miss Civil ran into and we go on.
9:44
[SPEAKER_02]: and the other game that throws things way in the air and it's not necessarily the Eastbrook loss to Huntington North, but the 45 to 13 score is certainly eyebrow raising Christian Jamison gashed the panthers for 175 yards and three touchdowns and Huntington North rolled to a surprisingly easy win.
10:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Junior quarterback Nathan James added 168 yards passing and a touchdown
10:13
[SPEAKER_05]: I was not necessarily surprised hunting to North one the game, but like you said, the score.
10:20
[SPEAKER_05]: I think really tells the story there, obviously, with a 45, 13 hunting to Northland.
10:27
[SPEAKER_05]: Eastward actually took their first three plays in the score to start the game.
10:31
[SPEAKER_05]: They...
10:31
[SPEAKER_05]: punched it in a real early and they've got a young team and when you're replacing the quarterback that they did in Bodhi Hall and you know one of the all-time greats never put on the East Brook uniform in Bodhi Hall.
10:43
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe the older.
10:44
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe the all-time greats.
10:45
[SPEAKER_05]: Jeff Adams and told me four years ago that when it's all sudden done, Bodhi Hall probably be the best players ever played at East Brook.
10:53
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, but anyways, replacing him with with Owen Kelly, the new quarterback, a younger guy.
10:59
[SPEAKER_05]: I think he's a sophomore, a junior.
11:01
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, there's obviously going to be growing pains when you have a younger team.
11:04
[SPEAKER_05]: I think Coach Adams knows that.
11:05
[SPEAKER_05]: And, uh, they're not in comfort schedule is really good this year.
11:10
[SPEAKER_05]: Obviously, with Huntington North, to be one, Fort Wink and Cordia coming up this Friday.
11:14
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they can bounce back, uh, turnovers and penalties were really the story for East Brook on Friday.
11:20
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that nine penalties and really shot themselves in the foot at times and had three crucial penalties that really backed him up behind the sticks and just couldn't get going after that.
11:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess it's not totally surprising to me that Eastbrook lost this game.
11:34
[SPEAKER_01]: I did pick Huntington.
11:36
[SPEAKER_01]: What did surprise me was like both of you in the store.
11:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I really thought Eastbrook, you know, historically is pretty good defensively.
11:42
[SPEAKER_01]: But before they give up a lot of points on Friday night.
11:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's one thing I think this offense isn't going to be the obviously nearest explosive as it has been the past few years.
11:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they're going to struggle to score a little bit off actually this year.
11:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to have to play better defense.
11:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Please, they're going to be a contender in the C.
11:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm feeling we're going to be hearing from Huntington North when we get to our weekly awards into fourth segment, guys.
12:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And as Kevin mentioned, Greenfield Central Beach Alexander at 33 to 27 despite Wyatt Fuller's big 216 yard game and sophomore quarterback Andrew Segner throwing for two touchdown passes.
12:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Tigers came up about 20 yard short in the loss, Kevin.
12:24
[SPEAKER_01]: We kept an eye on that pretty much all night long.
12:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Two Alex and you let a good portion of that football game.
12:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's a real statement for them.
12:31
[SPEAKER_01]: They're playing a five-day school in week one.
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: That's no slouch and that's a school that was above 500 last year.
12:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's a good football team.
12:39
[SPEAKER_01]: They went down and played and almost won that game.
12:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like Alex and I like this football team.
12:46
[SPEAKER_01]: They've been knocking at the door of the last few years.
12:48
[SPEAKER_01]: And this might just be the tiger season to get on top of a CIC.
12:59
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and rounding out the CIC, I would shed out for the fourth time in their last five games.
13:05
[SPEAKER_02]: The Southern Welles won 21 to nothing.
13:07
[SPEAKER_02]: The Raiders have now won three times since I would beat them to start last season.
13:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Southern Welles quarterback Isaac Van Demon through two touchdown passes.
13:17
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I think with Elwood here, again, you're going through the hardships that unfortunately they've gone through with numbers and all that kind of stuff and you're trying to get kids come out and play football.
13:28
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just it's sad to see them go through that.
13:31
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought that was a really good shot.
13:32
[SPEAKER_05]: They had to beat Southern Wells who struggled in the past few years.
13:35
[SPEAKER_05]: Good thing is for Elwood, even with the low numbers, they have a real good shot to win on Friday and bounce back to trying
13:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think you could definitely tell they had a good, they put up a fight.
13:48
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they didn't get blown out.
13:50
[SPEAKER_01]: They were in that contest well into the second half.
13:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's something to build off to, which is 18 kids.
13:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And like you guys said, this the game this week.
13:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they can get J County's late and Brown put together one of the best performances in the entire state on Friday night going for 333 yards and seven touchdowns
14:17
[SPEAKER_02]: and Layton Brown will be a player of the week nominee in our fourth segment.
14:21
[SPEAKER_02]: This game was moved to Delta because of flooding.
14:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And we moved to the Hoosier Conference where there were no conference games, also none in the CIC as well.
14:31
[SPEAKER_02]: In a game between two of our local teams, Class II, a number two lapel open the season with an incredibly impressive 49 to 19 win over Class III, a number 15 Hamilton Heights.
14:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Bulldogs, a blue it opened by outscoring the Huskies 27 and nothing in the third quarter.
14:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Jack Miller ran for 182 yards and two touchdowns in junior quarterback Max Lockhart through for 200 yards and two more scores in his first start replacing all state quarterback Devon Craig.
14:59
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks like it could be another very good year for the Bulldogs.
15:03
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I think Lapelle's a well-rounded team that went to the semi-state last year.
15:07
[SPEAKER_05]: Not only that, on my way here to do this podcast, I thought about that last year may have been the greatest year and Lapelle athletic history.
15:15
[SPEAKER_05]: You had boys and girls pass while go to the semi-state, you had football go to the semi-sated.
15:21
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, they're good in everything, and this is a big wave of athletes that's hit Lapelle here in the last few years.
15:27
[SPEAKER_02]: When I was in school grant, they were the team that you beefed up your stats against.
15:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Really?
15:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And everything.
15:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think this little appeal team that, you know, is hungry after last year's to my state loss and I think they proved in week one there could be a team to contend with when it comes to the state finals and looks like they get great balance, you know, running the football passing football.
15:47
[SPEAKER_01]: That makes you really dangerous as a high school football team.
15:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Serious state championship contender and then Hamiltonides, of course, we're talking about the who's your conference.
15:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure quite what to think.
15:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody was thinking this was going to be a really good year with an experienced backfield and a really nice offensive line.
16:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Still might be is still could be it's early.
16:09
[SPEAKER_05]: They played it like you said.
16:11
[SPEAKER_05]: They played a state championship contender.
16:14
[SPEAKER_05]: Pam up the heights going to win a lot of games this year in my opinion.
16:19
[SPEAKER_02]: and class 3A number 11 Indian Creek 52 to 7 over Western and yes, I picked Western quarterback Evan Clark through 450 at yards and four touchdowns while Drew Pingleton ran for 95 yards in another score at Braves scored at 38 consecutive points in the first half.
16:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if you don't get that one, no, I'm Greg, just think you're tight for first after week one.
16:44
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
16:45
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, Kevin, last year's champion is leading, but I am coming for you.
16:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, though, forget I told you, Greg, and I had four different picks before the week started, and I got all four right, like I said, I was going to be careful of what you wish for.
16:59
[SPEAKER_05]: It's an awful lot of trash talk.
17:01
[SPEAKER_05]: And yeah, he did a whole lot of trash talking in our post, gave me a one for it.
17:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Logan's Fort ran all over Peru, finished from a 305 yards and a 61 to 20 victory, Quincy Jackson led the barriers with 87 yards and Jackson Walker scored twice.
17:21
[SPEAKER_02]: What makes Logan's poor special, of course, is their offense and defensive line.
17:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Should be another great year for Logan's port, they might be a legitimate, who's your confers contender.
17:29
[SPEAKER_05]: And they've always been a contender, even when they're in the north central conference.
17:33
[SPEAKER_05]: That's early in school to play football at traditionally, and I got guys like Mike Johnson,
17:39
[SPEAKER_02]: And Class 3, a number 9 twin lakes outscored North Montgomery, 24 to nothing after halftime and pulled away for a 49 to 18 road victory.
17:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Zion Clopton was involved in four Harrison touchdowns and also converted to crucial 2-point plays as Harrison defeated rival West Lafayette, 43 to 40.
17:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Fielder Melke had a tremendous game in defeat for West Lafayette with 12 exceptions for
18:06
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, if we were to make it in all central Indian sports report all 19, Fielder Belky might be on there.
18:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
18:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Plus 2A number 10 Lafayette Central Catholic 63 to 6 over Mitchell.
18:18
[SPEAKER_02]: What the heck are they doing?
18:20
[SPEAKER_05]: I was about to ask you, uh, was that had to be some kind of tune-up game or Mitchell.
18:25
[SPEAKER_05]: Mitchell is this one.
18:26
[SPEAKER_05]: It's someone who's not really good.
18:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Usually.
18:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
18:29
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a weird one.
18:30
[SPEAKER_05]: And by the way, if we believe don't know, Mitchell is south of Bedford, Indiana, Orange County.
18:35
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's down there.
18:36
[SPEAKER_05]: That's in the holler.
18:37
[SPEAKER_05]: That is a critical blue jack.
18:39
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm actually, that's a school I'm surprised has football to be honest.
18:43
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a small school down there.
18:44
[SPEAKER_02]: There have been years they've been good.
18:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Hasn't been lately.
18:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Junior Weston Brown completed 20 of 26 passes for 324 yards and 5 touchdowns and Delphi defeated Benton Central 35 to 7, the Oracle's broke it open by outscoring Benton Central 22 to nothing and the third quarter to extend the bison's losing streak to 22 games.
19:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright guys, we moved to the Hoosier Heartland and Eastern look like the favor to you guys.
19:11
[SPEAKER_05]: I think so right now, again, it's really early to tell, you know, carols, I was obviously going to be good, shared and it's going to be solid.
19:20
[SPEAKER_05]: That's always a good small school league, and, um, but right now, what I saw out of Eastern, they're good, I kind of agree with Kevin what he said earlier, uh, they may not, I'm not sold.
19:32
[SPEAKER_05]: It may be a top 10 team, but I think they are good enough to win their league.
19:36
[SPEAKER_01]: They definitely probably have the best quarterback in the conference, but I think Carol and Sheridan, like you guys said, I think they're going to be right there with the Eastern.
19:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think you can say there's a clear cut favor to win it.
19:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the Eastern is going to be one of those teams in the end, I think, but I'm not sure there's a clear cut favor.
19:52
[SPEAKER_05]: And Carroll's always really, really good defensively, and I think only time will tell on that of how good their defense can be especially when they play Eastern will definitely circle that game middle of the season in our picks when they play each out of here later on.
20:09
[SPEAKER_02]: In class A number 14, Carroll's beginning, which 37 to 16 overseer guys, 15 years in a row, Carroll's won their season open, or that's crazy.
20:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Clinton Perry, because a number seven frontier 28 to 13, holding front here to just 40 yards rushing.
20:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Clinton's central survived a late frame for it run for a 12 to 6 victory, first year head coach, Michael Griffey picking up his first varsity win for the bulldogs and class 3A number 12, McCannick, while 42 to 27 over class eight, number eight, Sheridan, senior quarterback, Aiden Robinson had a huge night from McCannick,
20:48
[SPEAKER_02]: 380, 9 yards and 4 touchdowns and ran for another touchdown, he will be a finalist for our player of the week and senior no one tar caught 13 passes for an incredible 307 yards.
21:00
[SPEAKER_02]: He could have been too.
21:02
[SPEAKER_02]: While Marcel Sin was junior caught 2 touchdown passes.
21:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, here's a turnaround for you.
21:08
[SPEAKER_02]: North White beat Taylor 30 to 16 after Taylor beat the
21:18
[SPEAKER_05]: That is a good turnaround.
21:20
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, and Taylor, I know it kind of lost the glass due to graduation.
21:24
[SPEAKER_05]: It was really, really good in both basketball and football.
21:28
[SPEAKER_05]: So you're replacing a lot of really good athletes here and so on as tough.
21:33
[SPEAKER_02]: And if North White was in Central Indiana, they would definitely be a nominee for team of the league.
21:40
[SPEAKER_02]: And that Gillum ran for two touchdowns and returned an interception for another score as West LB tricentral 74 to nothing, warriors like 54 to nothing at halftime in tricentral's return to varsity football.
21:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And as Grant mentioned next week, the Trojans and L would and somebody has to win.
22:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Where's that game out?
22:02
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a tricentral.
22:05
[SPEAKER_02]: And in the Eastern Crossroads Conference, we already talked about the one team that were most interested in in Lapelle, and they're probably the favorite to win that conference in their first year in it, but rival Eastern Hancock looked awfully good on Friday night as well, beating North Eastern 51 to nothing.
22:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, Lapelle and Eastern Hancock are no longer in the same sectional, but fortunately, they're now in the same conference.
22:27
[SPEAKER_02]: Junior Matt Hunt through for four touchdown passes, Eastern Hancock grabbed the early lead in the Eastern Crossroads standings.
22:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Loft and blue the game open with a 21-third quarter points and beat Shenandoah 42-6.
22:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Cinerville opened the season with a victory for the ninth year in a row, beating Winchester 42-12, Franklin County beat Newcastle 42-21, and the Trojan's first game is a member of the Eastern Crossroads Conference.
22:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Guys, Newcastles gone from the North Central Conference to the Hoosier Heritage to now
23:04
[SPEAKER_05]: That is with Newcastle, especially being back in the day a staple of the North Central Conference.
23:11
[SPEAKER_05]: When you thought of the North Central Conference, one of the first teams you thought of was Newcastle.
23:16
[SPEAKER_05]: That is weird to see them in a league like that, especially with the team like Shannon Della in their conference now, which, you know, I think a lot of people from Newcastle, I know the school been the enrollments decline, but like people from Newcastle to Shannon Della, like,
23:35
[SPEAKER_05]: I think for reference for probably your listeners here, it kind of be like Mary and join in the CIC.
23:41
[SPEAKER_05]: I think I make that a good comparison.
23:43
[SPEAKER_05]: It really is.
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: But times sure have changed, and you know, I could see, you know, Mary and in the CIC would have a struggle, I think, too, though, so, you know, time to play.
23:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, classes change, I mean, probably everything.
23:56
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of change.
23:58
[SPEAKER_02]: It really has.
24:00
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to talk about the North Central Conference coming up here in a minute, but, and I grew up on the North Central Conference just being everything in the state.
24:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody coming up in part two.
24:09
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to talk about the big schools, the Hoosier Crossroads, the Mick, the Hoosier Heritage, and the NCC.
24:22
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, welcome to part two of the week one recap on the Central Indian Sports Report.
24:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm your host Greg Mingell joined by Grant Schaus here at Stage 22.
24:31
[SPEAKER_02]: We're joined by Kevin Helferk on the Riverside App and
24:35
[SPEAKER_02]: In this segment, we're going to talk about the who's your crossroads.
24:38
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to talk about the metropolitan who's your heritage and the Norse Central Conference and we start and what is the best conference in Central Indiana.
24:48
[SPEAKER_02]: They went to him one against the mix this week, so we give it to him for now at least.
24:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And we start with Brownsburg's.
24:55
[SPEAKER_02]: 48 to 25 win over Lawrence North in the central Indiana game of the week, two time defending state champion Bulldog scored 28 consecutive points in the third quarter to erase a 1914 halftime deficit and beat Lawrence North at Lawrence North 48 to 25.
25:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And with all those superstars, it was Brownsburg running back Brady Lewis, who was a finalist for Central Indiana Sports Report player the week.
25:19
[SPEAKER_02]: He ran for 225 yards and two touchdowns and completely took over in the second half.
25:25
[SPEAKER_02]: As Brownsburg won its 20th consecutive game, Oscar Fry threw three touchdown passes including two to future Indiana Hoosier Brandon Sharp.
25:33
[SPEAKER_02]: For Lawrence Norse, a more ran for 90 yards and had a 96-yard kickoff return is the best running back in Indiana.
25:41
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
25:42
[SPEAKER_05]: This honestly kind of went away, I expected it.
25:46
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't necessarily think that game would be more of a shootout like come down in the final possession, I thought, you know, I saw really think Lawrence North is that good in a state championship container, but Brownsburg is just that good, right?
25:59
[SPEAKER_05]: They're experienced.
26:00
[SPEAKER_05]: They've been there.
26:01
[SPEAKER_05]: They're probably a little more disciplined than Lawrence North.
26:04
[SPEAKER_05]: And again, that game kind of went the way I thought it would.
26:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Founds rare just still has good as they have been and it's going to take a really monumental effort for somebody to beat them I think they're just that good.
26:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there are a couple of teams that definitely have a shot and one of those is number two Westfield a 49 21 winner over homestead junior Cooper Melvin ran for 289 yards and three touchdowns in.
26:36
[SPEAKER_05]: the shamrock control this game from start to finish junior Andrew Noble caught two of the touchdown passes and finish with a 111 yards receiving I know we'll talk a lot about Westfield this week especially on our preview and predictions and all that but Westfield is is that good too right it's such a top heavy six a class especially in that conference that Westfield and Brownsberger in and
27:03
[SPEAKER_05]: those two are probably on another collision course to make a deep run and probably see each other at Lucas oil stadium.
27:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Really nice start to the season for Westfield.
27:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Really no problems handling uh, um, Wednesday and that first week was just dominating performance.
27:20
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to just point out one more time that when I was at Frank and we played Westfield in our regional just that still blows my mind that they're one of the best programs.
27:31
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of the state's best quarterbacks put up a ridiculous week, one stat line, Gabe phrasing her through for 380 yards and seven touchdowns is Carol Beat Hamilton, Southeastern 54 to 23 in Hunter Town, Carol scored 28 unanswered points in the first quarter senior Harry Shield cut 15 passes were 231 yards and five touchdowns that would be a player the week nominee if that wasn't central Indiana.
27:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Whoa, and I don't think anyone surprised that Carol Hamilton's out of the Eastern, but the fact that they beat them like that.
28:04
[SPEAKER_02]: raises some questions about Hamilton's out these turn, right?
28:08
[SPEAKER_05]: Baby, that carol's good.
28:10
[SPEAKER_05]: Carol is kind of a staple for Wayne when it comes to football, them in Fort Wayne Loores and Sighters always really good, but I'm not surprised if they beat Hamilton's out these sort of thing Hamilton's out these are just kind of middle of the pat, especially in the who's your heart when in the who's your crossroads conference.
28:28
[SPEAKER_05]: I think Carol is also good enough to make another deep run,
28:32
[SPEAKER_05]: Hamilton South Eastern is going to win a handful of games to this year.
28:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank Carol's definitely the best team in this time as pity up there.
28:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, typically Fort Wayne schools haven't had a whole lot of success against the Indian Apple school.
28:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So I thought that's a big win for Carol.
28:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not lately for sure.
28:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a big win for them and we won.
28:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Junior Andre Warfield ran for 149 yards in a touchdown.
28:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Avan opened up with an impressive 31 to 6 winner for dictator central and grants.
29:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Not happy about that.
29:07
[SPEAKER_05]: It's because the people from the cheesecake factory, that's right, ruin my dinner that time.
29:11
[SPEAKER_05]: But I think, and the more I think about it, kind of historically last year, me doing the trend of not picking Avan.
29:20
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't think it's going to work real well for me this year.
29:22
[SPEAKER_05]: I probably need to start picking on any.
29:24
[SPEAKER_05]: I maybe I need to make a men's and go back to the cheesecake factory and maybe that's when I could start picking A-von.
29:30
[SPEAKER_05]: But as of right now, I am not happy that they won the way they did.
29:35
[SPEAKER_05]: But the pick, I felt that the time was a little justified.
29:38
[SPEAKER_05]: Decatur Central has always been really good.
29:41
[SPEAKER_05]: But A-von's got to, A-von's got to do this year with Andre Warfield.
29:45
[SPEAKER_05]: So,
29:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they showed glimpses of that last year.
29:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they only lost a Browseman by eight.
29:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I even thought it was a toss-up, even though I took A-Von and I was the lone wolf on that one.
29:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And even I thought it was gonna be a close game.
30:02
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and kind of waffle on that one.
30:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Franklin Central broke a 7.7 half-time tie by out scoring playing field 24 to nothing in the second half.
30:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Senior Andrew Harman led the defense with 14 tackles and three tackles for loss for the flashes.
30:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Noble'sville has now won a season opener six years in a row with a 64-nothing win over tech.
30:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Miller's first shutout since 2023, sophomore Luke Stephenson ran for 142 yards and scored five touchdowns.
30:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Zionsvallot scored Pike 17 and nothing on the second half and 124 to six.
30:35
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the Eagles fifth season opening win of the last six years.
30:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Junior Kell and Riddle led these Zionsvall defense with 16 tackles.
30:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Ed at Oyster.
30:48
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, guys, after week one, the HCC server looks like it's gonna be Brownsburg and Westfield.
30:54
[SPEAKER_05]: I think so, that's just such a good conference.
30:58
[SPEAKER_05]: And I know we're getting already talk about the Mick, but like, do you think we'll ever one day compare the crossroads in the, in the Mick?
31:05
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, they do the SEC in the Big 10 and in the end.
31:07
[SPEAKER_05]: I think we're just in there now.
31:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, Carmel and Center Grover, back, I think we're 100%.
31:11
[SPEAKER_02]: We start making arguments both ways.
31:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe not right now that one and two are in the HCC,
31:18
[SPEAKER_01]: we're going to talk about Carmel here in a minute.
31:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Clearly Browseburg and Westfield are the two teams in that conference and they've been good for a long time now and that's going to be real fun when I down the road and like I said, I were interested to talk about this Carmel team as well.
31:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's move to the metropolitan conference where number three Carmel beat number 11
31:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Caramel all day, anything they wanted.
31:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Six different gray hounds scored a touchdown in the win and senior quarterback Jackson Treadway through for three touchdowns.
31:54
[SPEAKER_05]: I wasn't shocked, Greg, the Caramel won the game.
31:58
[SPEAKER_05]: I picked him to win and I had Kevin picked him.
32:00
[SPEAKER_05]: I think you picked him to do it next.
32:02
[SPEAKER_05]: I think it was a clean suite.
32:04
[SPEAKER_05]: I think all four of us, including Michelle Pickkarmel, but I don't think any of us would have picked a 47 and nothing went over a solid fisher's team to strike number 11.
32:15
[SPEAKER_05]: It's one of those reload situations, but like I said on the preview last week is that, you know, when you've got 3000 kids enrolled in your high school, you're bound to find 22 of them that can play off in some defense.
32:27
[SPEAKER_05]: and just got there and dominate.
32:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And when kids are moving in from other places and helping out that way as well, it helps to no doubt.
32:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, don't forget, I think that a chip on their shoulder from that last last year to Westfield in over time in the section.
32:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they had something to prove in the week one and I think they made that made a bold statement in the week one.
32:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And an early win of the week front runner is Warren Central's 20 to 14 win over center grove.
32:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Anthony Denison found Zechariah Wallace per her a nine yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to break a 14 14 tie.
33:00
[SPEAKER_02]: The Warriors defensive came up big with a late stand.
33:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Senior kick.
33:05
[SPEAKER_02]: Senior key on Thomas ran for a hundred and thirty yards and two touchdowns as Warren Central starts one and a no in the mix.
33:14
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, this one killed me.
33:16
[SPEAKER_05]: I picked Senator Grove.
33:18
[SPEAKER_05]: I like Senator Grove.
33:19
[SPEAKER_05]: I like the way they play.
33:21
[SPEAKER_05]: Some last year in person, Kevin and I saw him in person and gets married and granted it was married and it not war and central, but war and central is good too.
33:29
[SPEAKER_05]: Like these are these are two teams that probably see each other again later on in the tournament.
33:34
[SPEAKER_05]: I like Senator Grove, just due to the fact they're always big.
33:37
[SPEAKER_05]: They're always strong and over the weight room is.
33:39
[SPEAKER_05]: But Lauren Central, I think, got him because they're just for athletic.
33:43
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they just have more ball players, probably than center-grove does.
33:47
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not necessarily shocked, Lauren Central won.
33:50
[SPEAKER_05]: I kind of regret that pick a little bit.
33:52
[SPEAKER_05]: But I think my picks justified when center-groves involved.
33:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Kevin, I think when you look at it, you're looking at Brown's Berg Westfield Carmel 1, 2, 3.
34:01
[SPEAKER_02]: My question is, is Warren Central, do we start to look at them as in that group?
34:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're at that top tier of the second group.
34:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they're quite to the top tier yet, but you know, I'm kind of kicking myself over this one because I only had four losses and I should have saw this coming after they went in their last year and beat 10 out of the sectional.
34:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And sort of a similar fashion, a closed game.
34:26
[SPEAKER_01]: They pulled it out.
34:27
[SPEAKER_01]: They go in there and do it again.
34:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think I'll, they come up again against them.
34:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm gonna go with Warren Central next time.
34:35
[SPEAKER_02]: And as I mentioned, Warren Central's win is a win of the weak nominee.
34:38
[SPEAKER_02]: So is Ben Davis's win over Cathedral after the Giants jumped out to a 21-7 half-time lead and held on for a 33-27 win over the Irish.
34:48
[SPEAKER_02]: The victory stat Cathedral Street of eight consecutive season opening wins.
34:53
[SPEAKER_02]: big win for the Giants.
34:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Once again, Ben Davis has been down the last few years in terms of football to what they have been in years past at Cathedral needs no introduction.
35:03
[SPEAKER_05]: It comes to football.
35:04
[SPEAKER_05]: It is Cathedral.
35:05
[SPEAKER_05]: It is a power house.
35:06
[SPEAKER_05]: It is it is one of the premier programs in Indianapolis.
35:10
[SPEAKER_05]: But so it's been Davis.
35:11
[SPEAKER_05]: Ben Davis is right there.
35:13
[SPEAKER_05]: Again, this is another one that
35:15
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you're kind of kicking yourself here that you kind of wish you would have taken Ben Davis, but cathedrals still going to win a lot more games.
35:23
[SPEAKER_05]: Cathedral and new power still in the same sectional.
35:26
[SPEAKER_05]: They're still going to be five A contenders if they can get past new pound new pals.
35:30
[SPEAKER_05]: Another story here we're going to talk about later on.
35:32
[SPEAKER_05]: But cathedrals still a state championship contenders, despite the loss of
35:40
[SPEAKER_02]: and North Central scored 21 fourth quarter points and finished with 461 total yards in a 42.37 home win over what clearly a good berbuff team.
35:51
[SPEAKER_02]: North Central score 55 first half points and a 67 to 20 win over Jeffersonville.
35:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's southern Indiana football?
35:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Browns town's got to save them because it's not great.
36:02
[SPEAKER_02]: And the bears have an interesting one coming up this week against Zion'sville.
36:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Moving to the Hoosier Heritage Conference, no conference games in that one and a conference is going through some changes right now.
36:14
[SPEAKER_02]: But one thing that hasn't changed is number one new pal, the Dragon's Beat Defending Illinois 5A State Champion, Wheaton St. Francis 28 to 17 outscoring.
36:28
[SPEAKER_02]: St. Francis 14 to nothing in the fourth quarter senior writer Gardner caught three passes for a hundred and twenty six yards and also returned a kick off ninety nine yards when the Dragons were down ten points and that is a central Indiana sports report play of the week nominee.
36:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, tune in for that in the final segment.
36:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Newpiles now won 29 games in a row.
36:51
[SPEAKER_05]: And I expect him to slow down anytime soon.
36:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Obviously, you're circling the IMG game later on this year.
36:58
[SPEAKER_05]: Like we talked about in the preview last week.
37:00
[SPEAKER_05]: But Newpiles a team that still don't win a lot of games this year.
37:04
[SPEAKER_05]: You could put Kyle Ralph up there and in the conversation was one of the greatest ever do it.
37:09
[SPEAKER_05]: and it's just another, not really a rebuild, but a reload situation.
37:14
[SPEAKER_05]: I can't remember them not ever being good, Greg.
37:17
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, in the last like 10 or 12 years, I can't remember them not ever being good.
37:23
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a year or two in the last 40 years, but not many.
37:27
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, you think of the legends like Charlie Spiegel?
37:31
[SPEAKER_05]: I came through there.
37:32
[SPEAKER_02]: They were state finals when I was in school.
37:34
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
37:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just a well-oiled machine
37:40
[SPEAKER_05]: Especially when you're head coach, I think it's the strength and conditioning coach as well at the school.
37:45
[SPEAKER_05]: Like you're gonna have dudes in a weight room all the time, especially when that guy's your head coach and someone you want to play for.
37:52
[SPEAKER_05]: We just saw him strong.
37:56
[SPEAKER_01]: 2012, last time under 500, three and seven back then.
38:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of the great games across the state on Friday night was a Pettleton Heights 43, 11 and 42 in overtime, Pettleton Heights senior quarterback Grant Gray through for three touchdown passes and junior Joel Weaver ran for 177 yards of two touchdowns.
38:20
[SPEAKER_02]: and neither team led by more than a touchdown in this game.
38:24
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the, as I said, one of the best games across the state anywhere, and we will get the full story from Lebanon reporter, sports editor, Will Williams, and our third segment when we talk about Lebanon.
38:36
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're a fan of that, when you definitely didn't want to leave your seats, you want to miss them touchdowns.
38:40
[SPEAKER_01]: That seemed like a fun game to be at.
38:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And I probably took about three hours to finish that game.
38:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I gave him a 7 7 14 14 21 21 28 28 35 35 and it was a lot of fun to follow along on that one.
38:55
[SPEAKER_02]: One game that was not fun to follow along with was number six Yorktown 83 done nothing over Anderson.
39:00
[SPEAKER_02]: They scored in every way imaginable and often is 32 to nothing at the end of the first quarter 54 to nothing at half time on the way to the 83 done
39:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Babe Ruth, but yes.
39:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Ruth.
39:22
[SPEAKER_05]: Wasn't he not bad.
39:23
[SPEAKER_02]: He was that bad.
39:25
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I had told him that, too.
39:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Oyster.
39:30
[SPEAKER_02]: And Mount Vernon, what had season opener for the first time since 2020, beating Coco Mot 21 to 12.
39:35
[SPEAKER_02]: That was also the last time my cursor was the head coach for Mount Vernon, and he is back.
39:41
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Marauders are one and all again, Luke Callaway through for a pair of touchdowns for Cocomo.
39:46
[SPEAKER_05]: Cocomo's a team that's gone through from growing pains in the last few years.
39:49
[SPEAKER_05]: They've got a new echo, which that played football at Kevin's favorite team, the Indiana Wesleyan Wildcats, grant foes in his first season.
39:58
[SPEAKER_05]: And the guy's only like 22, 23 years old.
40:01
[SPEAKER_05]: He's not much older than I am, and he's still got,
40:03
[SPEAKER_05]: And we get this feet wet as a head coach and the North Center for Conference, which we're getting ready to talk about.
40:08
[SPEAKER_05]: It's been kind of down over the last few years.
40:11
[SPEAKER_05]: Cook must have a lot of opportunities to win a lot of games.
40:13
[SPEAKER_05]: And they play a interesting non-conference schedule in a few weeks.
40:18
[SPEAKER_05]: They got to go to Jeffersonville.
40:21
[SPEAKER_05]: No win that one.
40:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably.
40:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And we moved everybody's favorite conference, the North Central Conference, where we had another one of our games of the night, Months East Central, 23, Delta 22.
40:35
[SPEAKER_02]: For the second straight year, Monty Central got the jug done against the Eagles in the final seconds.
40:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Barricades victory prevented the Norse Central Conference being swept from the who's your heritage conference.
40:46
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the HH added oyster.
40:50
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the NCC's only win of the night.
40:52
[SPEAKER_02]: And here is Monty Star Press Sports Editor Kate Hampton with a report from that fun fun game and Monty on Friday night.
41:02
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the two absolutely fascinating games involving the who's your heritage conference on Friday night that I was following along thanks to Kate Hampton's tweets and videos from the game, Monthly Central 23 to 22 over Delta and a incredible game, Kate and especially the fourth quarter was just so much fun.
41:24
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it was a absolutely fantastic game.
41:27
[SPEAKER_04]: I think probably the best game that I've had the pleasure of being a part of here in a time and monthsy.
41:32
[SPEAKER_04]: I would say, go in a new year's free here for me.
41:35
[SPEAKER_04]: And that game was just really special for more reasons than just the product on the field.
41:41
[SPEAKER_04]: Just everything these communities have been through the last couple of weeks between the floods and Delta morning, a loss of the former teammate.
41:50
[SPEAKER_04]: It was a very emotional, emotionally charged atmosphere.
41:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Both of the teams just first class programs, everybody carried themselves well and the scene after the game was forming everybody coming together at midfield and sharing a moment and prayer and it was just a really nice, really fun time.
42:10
[SPEAKER_04]: I felt like those two communities really needed a good football game more than ever and those
42:18
[SPEAKER_04]: looked a lot better even than they did at this point last year so just to improving programs you know given their communities a great game when they needed at the most it was that's what you know high school football's really all about
42:33
[SPEAKER_02]: When you first got here months, the central wasn't very good at football, but you could start to tell that they were building something and then Kyle Burresh comes in at the start of last year.
42:43
[SPEAKER_02]: And now you kind of expect it to be a program on the rise and it sure looks like it is.
42:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, absolutely.
42:51
[SPEAKER_04]: Coach Peresh getting that thing, you know, turned around pretty quickly.
42:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, in terms of where they were in the couple of years before he got here.
42:58
[SPEAKER_04]: And then last year was their first winning season in nine years.
43:02
[SPEAKER_04]: And then this year, they come out and get, you know, another down to the wire, a close game victory over a local rival in Delta.
43:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Their defense
43:16
[SPEAKER_04]: that defensive line has so much size and strength on it, you've got just a lot of talent on that defense as a whole, but it really all starts up from the trenches with them.
43:27
[SPEAKER_04]: A really great environment there in Muncie, the energy, especially at the end of that you mentioned to that fourth quarter where they kind of had to put a little game-winning drive together at the end there, which is really exciting and it's fun to see.
43:40
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm excited to see what they do next week at Yorktown.
43:43
[SPEAKER_02]: And looks like even bigger test next week against Yorktown, a Yorktown team that won 83 to nothing on Friday.
43:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Yorktown obviously has kind of become the powerhouse program around here at least with their sectional championship nine win season a year ago and they've they've just been you know really kind of on the rise lately and they look really exciting again this year returning a lot of talent obviously getting things all to it to a hot start 83 to nothing against uh
44:13
[SPEAKER_04]: against an Anderson team that has been, you know, kind of in the gutter recently in recent years, but I think Muncie Central should be able to give a much, a much tougher challenge next week.
44:24
[SPEAKER_04]: That was a really, really good game a year ago as well.
44:26
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it was like a 15 to 12 Yorktown victory.
44:30
[SPEAKER_04]: It came down to the wire, Yorktown kind of struggled to put points on the board and Muncee hung around in there kept it close, but Yorktown pulled ahead at the end and it was a good game last year.
44:43
[SPEAKER_04]: I expected to be another close contest.
44:46
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm interested to see how that one goes and Muncee Central can get a win and that one that would be a very big statement to start their season.
44:56
[SPEAKER_02]: And Mason Ferguson's touchdown pass to Carlos Eccles in the closing seconds is a play of the week finalist for Wayne South is scored 24 points in the second quarter and rolled past Marion 49 to six.
45:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Marion another young team lost a playmaker from last year.
45:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a real struggle for the chances year and that started out and we going to get south.
45:24
[SPEAKER_02]: and Conor's will be Richmond 50 to 20 coming up after the break.
45:27
[SPEAKER_02]: We will talk about the mid-state, the circle city, the Hoosier Legends, Sagamore, Monon, Indiana Crossroads, capital city, three rivers and the trite eastern conference.
45:38
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll also hear from Will Williams report on Pendleton Heights and Levinon, then in the 4th and final segment grant and Kevin and I will pick our team of the week, winner of the week, upset of the week, coach of the week, play of the week and player of the week and will unveil our Central Indian sports report class power.
45:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
46:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to the Central Indiana Sports Reports Week 1 Recap for High School Football.
46:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm your host, Greg Mengell joined by Grant Shows and Kevin Helfrick of the Action Sports Network.
46:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Those two are on a quick break.
46:18
[SPEAKER_02]: They're going to join me here again, and just a minute, and we pick up with the Circle City Conference.
46:24
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of the best games of the night definitely the best defensive game of the night.
46:28
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a rematch of last year's class for a state championship.
46:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Bishop Dwinger beat Ron Coli again this time 1514 in three over times.
46:37
[SPEAKER_02]: This game actually went into over times.
46:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Scorless, two fearsome defenses, and there's... And there's a pretty good chance those two teams haven't seen the last of each other.
46:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And a nominee for win of the week, it was Shattard 35 Lafayette Jeff seven impressive win for the class for a number three Trojans over the class five a number four Broncos senior Brooks Haynes caught six passes for 94 yards for Shattard.
47:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Senior quarterback Luke McDonald through 469 yards and two touchdowns of Darren Catholic.
47:15
[SPEAKER_02]: One a defensive warrior in a game over McCutchen 22 to 14 junior jack Willson at 18 tackles for the gold meacals.
47:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And the mid-state conference, of course, we've already talked about Decatur Central and playing field losses.
47:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Those two should be serious conference championship contenders.
47:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, number 13 Franklin, shut out Southport, 35 to nothing.
47:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Second straight year that they've shut out the Cardinals.
47:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Or so, open with the 34, 21 victory over Columbus East.
47:44
[SPEAKER_02]: And one of the other expected mid-state contenders, class 58,
47:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Denari Woods caught nine passes for 159 yards in a touchdown, and Beach Grove beat Perry Meridian 26 to 14.
48:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Bedford North Lawrence overcame 130 yards and two touchdowns from Martinsville.
48:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Senior Christian Cunes for a 33-27 stars win.
48:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And Bloomington South now and independent before joining the Hoosier Hills Conference X year, beat mid-state member Bloomington North 44 to 6.
48:18
[SPEAKER_02]: To the Hoosier Legends Conference, try West Indian Creek Speedway and Beach Grove are all week one winners that already makes the Hoosier Legends Conference race look pretty interesting.
48:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, Comfort's newcomer Shelbyville opened with a 39-14 win over Greensburg, Greenwood outscored Seymour 21 and nothing in the second half for a 41-20-win at home, and class to a number 11 Triton Central Fellow at home to Batesville, 20-17, and over time, the Tigers am in Rovi over the only two teams in the 18-conference to lose their openers.
48:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And the sagamar conference we already heard about Darren's 22 to 14 win over a kitchen.
48:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Now let's hear about Pinnon tonight's instant classic win over 11 and 43 to 42 in over time from 11 in the reporter sports editor Will Williams was at the game in 11.
49:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Will that was one of the most interesting games.
49:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I've ever followed and there was really no separation between the teams.
49:20
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a really good high school football game between Lebanon and Pendleton Heights.
49:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Like you said, no real separation between the teams.
49:29
[SPEAKER_03]: They traded the lead back and forth, both team scored in every single quarter and it was never, no one was ever up by more than a score.
49:38
[SPEAKER_03]: It just really good way to kick off the high school football season.
49:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, five times, seven, 14, 21, 28, 35.
49:44
[SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't happen very much.
49:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you don't see that very often
49:51
[SPEAKER_03]: There wasn't very many stops by defenses, but whenever their one team made one, it seemed like the other team's defense was able to kind of step up and make a play to to keep their team in it.
50:02
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I think both coaches probably are focused more on trying to clean up their defense a little bit, but they are both very happy with the way their offenses were able to move the ball in week one.
50:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I think my guess and in the end, this is a sign of two really good teams going head to head.
50:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Lebanon is replacing a pretty good senior class, but to me, it looks like those were two teams that'll probably be ranked at the end of the year.
50:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Pendleton Heights.
50:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't see them as much in there and our area yet.
50:38
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, a conference foe of Lebanon starting next year.
50:41
[SPEAKER_03]: I was really impressed with them.
50:43
[SPEAKER_03]: They had really good size and a lot of really talented players.
50:48
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know Lebanon has a lot of high hopes to come and off of their first sectional when in nearly 30 years.
50:56
[SPEAKER_03]: And like you said, that they have
50:58
[SPEAKER_03]: quite some some big pieces to replace but they have some a lot of talent to and I think some of the new guys showed what they can do yesterday with quarterback Jake Lentney's just a sophomore making his first varsity start through for over 200 yards in the game and it threw some really nice passes could have probably been even a little more there's a few drops
51:23
[SPEAKER_03]: was kind of like the third string running back last year, but he rushed over a hundred yards and showed some really good burst as well for Lebanon.
51:30
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, it looks like Pendleton Heights, they're going to be really solid.
51:33
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know here at Lebanon, they have a lot of high hopes for what they can do.
51:37
[SPEAKER_03]: And while they're disappointed that they didn't get that win last night, they're I think the rest of the season, it stacks up pretty well for them.
51:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, definitely Levin and it looks like a program headed in the right direction, especially after the last couple of years and it looks like this coach has the momentum going.
51:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, second year for coach Josh Yoder, he was on the staff the year before that, too, and the kids have really kind of bought into what.
52:06
[SPEAKER_03]: He wants to do.
52:07
[SPEAKER_03]: He comes from the John Hartree at Brownsburg and everyone's kind of this.
52:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, everyone's kind of seeing that success that they've had the last few years and they're hoping that they can translate to Lebanon too, but they're they're working really hard in the off-season, but just to get stronger in the weight room, they're going out and challenging them themselves and scrimmages in the summer and they're seeing it really pay off.
52:34
[SPEAKER_03]: as they've transitioned out of the SEG more conference and are kind of seeing the conference change and then they're going to be moving to the Hoosier Heritage next year.
52:44
[SPEAKER_03]: Schedules didn't tougher but I think they're getting ready to kind of rise to that occasion and yeah, there's some really good things happening at Lebanon and when they have 19 wins the last two years and that's something that it's a program that hasn't always had a lot of success that's a really encouraging sign to see.
53:03
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, Pettleton, I think everybody expected them to be really good this year.
53:07
[SPEAKER_02]: The question for them is going to be, of course, can they beat new palsy?
53:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, which is no easy task for sure.
53:15
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I was really impressed with Paladin Heights yesterday too.
53:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, it's been pretty well documented.
53:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of the struggles that they and some of the other teams around the area have gone through the last couple of weeks with all the weather coming in.
53:29
[SPEAKER_03]: But they looked really good.
53:31
[SPEAKER_03]: for a team that maybe hasn't been out on the field practicing as much as they had wanted to quarterback a brand gray was really impressive through through through for 81 yards rush for another 147 kill weaver ran for 177 hit a really big 68 yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter when it looked like 11 and might have taken some momentum in the game and
53:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Then all of a sudden one play later, we were bus to a 68 year touched on to tie things right back up.
54:01
[SPEAKER_03]: So a lot of really positive things from pound and heights.
54:04
[SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, I was really impressed with them.
54:06
[SPEAKER_03]: And in Coach Jen Richmond does a fantastic job every year.
54:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to see it a couple of years here at Western Boone and his first coaching stop and then kind of followed him to Lawrence Central and pound and heights and his programs have always been fantastic.
54:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, thanks so much for joining us.
54:22
[SPEAKER_02]: And I hope this year able to do it more often.
54:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep, sounds good, Greg.
54:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks.
54:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, guys, we've talked about about a hundred games here so far.
54:38
[SPEAKER_02]: And now we are in our final segment where we talk about our weekly awards and our power poles.
54:44
[SPEAKER_02]: And I am going to unveil the nominees for all of our weekly awards and then grant and Kevin.
54:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go back and forth and let them pick who are player of the week it.
54:56
[SPEAKER_02]: who are a weekly ward winners are.
54:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And we start with our play of the week.
55:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Our first one is Mason Ferguson to Carlos Eccles and Muncie Cindrault's victory.
55:06
[SPEAKER_02]: On fourth down late in the fourth quarter, make it Mason Ferguson through a touchdown pass to Carlos Eccles to give Muncie Cindrault dramatic 2322 victory over Delta.
55:17
[SPEAKER_02]: with number one new pal trailing Wheaton St. Francis 17 to 10 of the third quarter and the dragons on a 28 game winning streak right or gardener broke a 99 yard kickoff return for a touchdown that ignited new pal's comeback.
55:32
[SPEAKER_02]: The dragons went on to a 28 17 win over the raining ill in the way class 5A state champions.
55:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Grant Gray's two point conversion for Pinoffton Heights is the third nominee, Gray completed a fantastic season opening performance by scoring the game winning two point inversion and overtime.
55:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Gray just broke the goal line to give the Arabians a 43 to 42 victory over Lebanon.
55:57
[SPEAKER_02]: and a late in the fourth quarter of Warren Central's 20 to 14 win over centergrove Anthony Denison found Zechariah Wallace for a nine-year touchdown pass to break a 14-14 tie in a Mick showdown Kevin Grant what should be our play of the week man there were so many good was the choose from their Greg but I think I'm not to go with the two-point conversion by Greg for the rabians to win that thriller
56:28
[SPEAKER_05]: It's tough.
56:29
[SPEAKER_05]: I kind of want to be different from Kevin here, even though I think that's a good one.
56:33
[SPEAKER_05]: I think you really got to look at rider gardeners kickoff return for touchdown.
56:36
[SPEAKER_05]: You go 99 yards.
56:39
[SPEAKER_05]: You kind of get some momentum with that play, especially when you're playing a big game like new pal is.
56:44
[SPEAKER_05]: You're playing a really good opponent.
56:46
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to go rider gardeners 99 yards kickoff return for touchdown.
56:50
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're going to make me break the tie.
56:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and that is going to be
56:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Brett Gray from Penelton Heights, his two point conversion where he just had the strength to get past 11 in defense for the game winning score.
57:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Congratulations to Penelton Heights quarterback Brent Gray or his play of the week on a two point conversion and runner up writer Gardner on an impressive impressive night for the new pal dragons.
57:17
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's go to our win of the weekend.
57:19
[SPEAKER_02]: These are some tough nominees as well.
57:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one, Brownsburg 48 to 25 over, number four, Lawrence, North.
57:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Carmels, 47, nothing went over, number nine, Fisher's, number three, Shattard's 35 to seven went over, five a, number four, Lafayette Jeff, and number five, Warren Sinfroll's 20 to 14 went over, number six, Center Grove.
57:40
[SPEAKER_02]: This time we'll start with Grant to make his case.
57:43
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, I think I'd go with Warren Central over Senator Grove.
57:47
[SPEAKER_05]: I think, uh, you know, what can back at last year, that game had big tournament stipulations.
57:52
[SPEAKER_05]: Warren Central won Senator Groves obviously looking for revenge on Warren Central for knocking about in the regional.
57:59
[SPEAKER_05]: I think Warren Central being able to prove that they're the better team in Senator Grove even a season later.
58:05
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that's your winner the week right there.
58:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go with Grant as well.
58:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that one central victory.
58:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Anytime you can go to center row and beat them on their home field for a, you know, back to back years now they've done that.
58:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think that was an impressive win.
58:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of the others weren't as close as you thought they might be.
58:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I just thought that was a big win for one central to start this season.
58:28
[SPEAKER_02]: And I, I'm letting you guys pick the award winners.
58:33
[SPEAKER_02]: but I completely agree with you on this.
58:35
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think, especially considering that it was a conference game, that is the win of the week.
58:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Congratulations to the war in Central Warriors on their win of the week, a 20 to 14 win over Senate Grove.
58:47
[SPEAKER_02]: And the upset of the week, I'm not even going to let anybody pick.
58:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not even going to have any nominees.
58:51
[SPEAKER_02]: There weren't any huge, huge upsets this week, except for one.
58:54
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was Speedway over Heritage Christian.
59:03
[SPEAKER_02]: They beat Harris Christian 47 to 19 after Speedway won just one game last year, so congratulations to Speedway on the win and the upset of the week.
59:15
[SPEAKER_05]: Cool field there at Speedway, by the way, really cool field.
59:19
[SPEAKER_05]: The Indian Apple's Mayor's Speedway posted pictures of it today is really neat.
59:25
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a big win right there.
59:26
[SPEAKER_02]: And our nominees for Coach of the Week at Cascade Nick Brickens is replacing the legend Connor Simmons who just led the cadets to a state championship but in his first game, Brickens led the cadets to a 41-7 win at Monroeville for his first varsity victory.
59:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Huntington Norse, Mike Ashbock, had his Vikings ready to go after last year's disappointing Ford's six season, Huntington Norse rolled past Eastbrook 45 to 13, giving Ashbock his second head-to-head victory over Jeff Adams and in the last three years.
1:00:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Leaves in all state quarterback, apparently, that is not a problem for Lepell and head coach Tim Miller, who's
1:00:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Devon Cragelus Bulldog's hammered class 3A number 15 Hamilton Heights 49 to 19.
1:00:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And in his first varsity game, his head coach, Ross Chester's Isaac Sheifer went head to head with the winningest coach in Indiana history, and his right Chester Zebras beat Bud Wright's southwood night 46.
1:00:25
[SPEAKER_02]: The nothing, guys, who is the coach of the week?
1:00:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's start with Kevin's thoughts.
1:00:33
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a tough one, but I think any time you go into Eastbrook and Jeff Allison coach team, the way that connecting North did, I've got to go with Mike Ashbock and to be coach Allison, now twice in what the last three years, and that's pretty impressive.
1:00:48
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to agree with Kevin on this one, Mike Ashbock.
1:00:52
[SPEAKER_05]: East Frick's not an easy place to play, a little on an easy place to win and for hunting to north to kind of do it very soundly, 45, 13, Jeff Adams and really good coach, tough to again, tough to really beat down on that East Frick team like that to take Mike Ashbock this week, your coach the week.
1:01:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Congratulations to Honeyton North Head Coach Mike Eschbach, the Central Indiana Sports Report Coach of the week and now we turn our attention to team of the week and our nominees are the Eastern Comments as you heard from Grant and Kevin who were there to call the game Eastern earned a great season opening win.
1:01:34
[SPEAKER_02]: one of the best in program history.
1:01:35
[SPEAKER_02]: It has to be 2827 over rival O'Kill.
1:01:39
[SPEAKER_02]: The second straight season Kyle Burish led Muncie Central to a last second victory over rival Delta.
1:01:45
[SPEAKER_02]: This time it was 2322 on a fourth down touchdown pass with less than 30 seconds left at Bearcat Stadium and the North Field Norseman, what a turnaround for Northfield.
1:01:57
[SPEAKER_02]: North opened the 2026 season by beating North Miami 28 to 14 after their 2025 season ended with a 47 to 6 loss to the same North Miami team and the Pinoleton Heights Arabians followed last year's 10 win season with a dramatic 43 to 42 win at Levin and Grant who do you think should be the central Indiana sports report team of the week.
1:02:21
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to surprise some people that I'm going to pick Northfield here.
1:02:25
[SPEAKER_05]: I talked to Brandon Baker every Tuesday at 1230 for our coaches show on the action sports network which airs every Wednesday night by the way at six o'clock.
1:02:33
[SPEAKER_05]: Nice promo.
1:02:34
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.
1:02:35
[SPEAKER_05]: And he told me that this was a really good off season for them.
1:02:40
[SPEAKER_05]: He's really excited.
1:02:41
[SPEAKER_05]: He had a very youthful and an inexperienced team last season.
1:02:46
[SPEAKER_05]: A lot of those guys coming back got stronger.
1:02:49
[SPEAKER_05]: They got
1:02:51
[SPEAKER_05]: They became better football players.
1:02:53
[SPEAKER_05]: Northfield is a really well coach team.
1:02:56
[SPEAKER_05]: And the goal out there to North Miami and be a team that's one two straight sexual championships on their home field and has really turned their program around in the last few years.
1:03:05
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a good start to the season for Northfield and I think they kind of deserve some credit.
1:03:09
[SPEAKER_05]: Probably fly an under the radar a little bit team of the week.
1:03:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And as much as I would sort of agree with you there, Grant, I'm going to go with the Penal of the Heights, that 43 42 went on the road and over time at 11 and, you know, kind of a toss up there, which way to go, but I just feel like that was the bigger game of the week and I got it with Penal of the Heights.
1:03:31
[SPEAKER_02]: You're right, Kevin, that one is kind of a toss up, but I think Pendleton Heights, we all kind of picked a win that one or we knew it was gonna be a toss up.
1:03:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't believe it, I know you did, but I know they did even thought Northfield was gonna win that game, so I am going to side with Grant on this one.
1:03:47
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna make the Northfield North, Northman, I like North.
1:03:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Our Central Indiana sports report, football team of the week, and that is a great story.
1:03:59
[SPEAKER_02]: And we moved to our central Indiana sports report player the week and just getting it down to five nominees was very difficult.
1:04:06
[SPEAKER_02]: We start with speedway sophomore quarterback Connor battle.
1:04:10
[SPEAKER_02]: He went 13 for 2300 and 34 yards and seven touchdowns and speedways 47 to 19 upset when over Heritage Christian.
1:04:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Junior.
1:04:22
[SPEAKER_02]: J.
1:04:22
[SPEAKER_02]: County Junior running back late in Brown had 333 yards at 7 touchdowns and J.
1:04:27
[SPEAKER_02]: County's 55 to 6 victory over rival Blackford.
1:04:32
[SPEAKER_02]: As we just heard, Pino tonight senior quarterback, Grant Gray, 9 for 13 81 yards passing at 3 touchdowns, 20 carries for 147 yards and another touchdown and the game winning 2 point conversion and Pino tonight's 43 42 win at Lebanon.
1:04:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Brownsburg senior running back Brady Lewis, 23 carries for 223 yards and three touchdowns and Brownsburg's 48 to 25 victory over Lawrence North and McConaughey's senior quarterback Aiden Robinson through for 389 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another touchdown McConaughey's 42-27 win over Sheridan and Robinson's teammate Nullantar also could have been a finalist at a monster game of a zone.
1:05:18
[SPEAKER_02]: 13 catches for three hundred and seven yards.
1:05:21
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
1:05:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's start with Kevin on this win Kevin who should be the central Indiana Sports Report player of the week.
1:05:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Well with all the attention to Brownsburg Lawrence North game was getting like Brady Lewis and his touchdowns and his over two hundred and twenty-five yards rushing in that contest to kind of put things away for the bulldox.
1:05:42
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to go late in Brown, Jake County, kind of tough to ignore that when he scores seven touchdowns as we're running back, you know, it's different like when you look at Connor battle there, he threw for seven touchdowns, late in Brown, ran in seven touchdowns.
1:05:56
[SPEAKER_05]: 333 yards, it's going to be tough to beat that.
1:05:59
[SPEAKER_05]: I know that Blackford is down.
1:06:02
[SPEAKER_05]: Jake County probably isn't as good as people think, but late and brown certainly kind of eye popping there seven touchdowns for the Patriots.
1:06:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why I am citing with Kevin on this one is because it was against a Blackford team that's not very good.
1:06:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Brady Lewis did it against a Lawrence North team that is very good and he was the standout in a game of filled with all state and all American players.
1:06:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Congratulations to Brownsburg senior running back Brady Lewis, the central Indian sports report player of the week.
1:06:36
[SPEAKER_02]: All right guys, before we get to my final power pole, which I know you guys are going to disagree on, I want to go through my top 10 in each class and get your opinions real fast.
1:06:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Class A, I have Rivergerton Park, North Juts and Mile in Pioneer, Carroll, number five, Lafayette, Central Catholic number six, the North Decatur South Adams, North Davies, and Sheridan.
1:06:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Any disagreements?
1:06:59
[SPEAKER_05]: I'd like the inclusion of North Davies here.
1:07:01
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a school you wouldn't think would have football to be on, so do you, but it sits right there off the interstate down south, one of my favorite schools to pass, down southern Indiana.
1:07:10
[SPEAKER_05]: not that I really know about their football team.
1:07:13
[SPEAKER_05]: But Trent Fine is their head coach.
1:07:15
[SPEAKER_05]: You've been a long time.
1:07:16
[SPEAKER_05]: I had just a basketball referee.
1:07:20
[SPEAKER_05]: If it's the same Trent Fine.
1:07:24
[SPEAKER_05]: And also, I'm really glad that you recognize my one as my one and not Milan.
1:07:29
[SPEAKER_04]: I think some people call it.
1:07:31
[SPEAKER_05]: But everyone my age knows that's my one.
1:07:33
[SPEAKER_05]: Everybody should, everybody your age should know it's my one.
1:07:36
[SPEAKER_05]: So, but Carol being in the top five course pioneer staple in the one-aple central Catholic obviously a staple as well.
1:07:45
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a really good looking,
1:07:48
[SPEAKER_05]: really good looking one-a-pole, especially Riverton Park.
1:07:50
[SPEAKER_05]: We talked about last year potentially being a state championship Conscious this year, and I want to remember that because they ran into Chuck Sorrell and South Putnam.
1:07:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I wouldn't know Chuck Sorrell for what for Mike that's all we're going to talk about, Chuck here in a minute.
1:08:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay Yeah, no disagreements for me.
1:08:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that sounds like a good one in the class.
1:08:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey
1:08:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Class 2A, Reed May and the Browns Town Braves.
1:08:12
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope this is the year he gets his state championship.
1:08:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Even though we have our local team lapel in this, because Reed May is one of my all-time favorites.
1:08:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I have lapel at number two, all kinds of central Indiana teams in the 2A pole.
1:08:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Lutheran number three, South Putnam, Chuck Sorles number four, cascade number five, Eastern number six, then East Side, and Eastern Hancock, Tipton, and Rochester.
1:08:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I found myself having a root for South Putham because my cuts will really push in the the the Chuck Sorrell there in the world.
1:08:44
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll show you the fans around here and what's crazy is I can admit to you Greg.
1:08:48
[SPEAKER_05]: I wouldn't know Chuck Sorrell if we walked in the roots in the house but with South Putham there they're they're a good team they've jumped up from one a to two a they're obviously still going to kind of be in that mix there going from one a to two a.
1:09:02
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm a little surprised with Rod Chester being in the top 10.
1:09:05
[SPEAKER_05]: They lost a little bit from last year and lost their coach.
1:09:09
[SPEAKER_05]: Good thing is replacing their coach.
1:09:12
[SPEAKER_05]: Then have to go very far in the same household, hired Ron Shaper's son, Isaac, to be the head coach.
1:09:18
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a good looking to a poll.
1:09:19
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't have really any disagreements there, except I think we'll find ourselves maybe making the argument that one, two and three at some point could be interchangeable.
1:09:29
[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.
1:09:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Eastern's a little hide from me.
1:09:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if anything, they may be just on the, at the bottom of the top 10, and maybe just to hair outside it from what I saw on Friday night, maybe I'm wrong, we'll see, but I'm not quite sold yet on Eastern.
1:09:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Class 3-A few are central Indian teams in this one, and Ray, an Evansville Memorial Adam Central, the top three man big win for Adams in front of him.
1:09:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Try West with Jack Sorge, number four, Gibson Southern, Evansville, modern day, the number seven is Twin Lakes, number eight Indian Creek, after that nice win over Western.
1:10:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Number nine, Lawrenceburg, number 10, West Lafayette, despite a close loss to Harrison.
1:10:11
[SPEAKER_05]: It's kind of weird seeing out of central in the 3A now, seems like they're always in one A and kind of hovering between there and between one A and two A, but no complaints ultimately try West is a really good team and West Lafayette's always going to be there too.
1:10:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that was very well.
1:10:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I put together those top 10 teams in 3A and no disagreements here.
1:10:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Won't be surprised if Try West is holding the trophy at the end of the year, by the way.
1:10:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Class 4 a man at the top of 4 a is awfully good.
1:10:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one should target big win for them over Lafayette Jeff.
1:10:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Number two, Dwinger, big win for them over Ron Colley by an inch.
1:10:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Number three, Ron Colley.
1:10:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Number four, East Central.
1:10:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Five, Michelle Walka, six, Yorktown.
1:10:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven, Hobart, eight, Evansville, right, nine.
1:10:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Heritage Hills.
1:11:00
[SPEAKER_02]: Number 10, South Bend, St. Joseph with a anastrosch to lures because the last three years I've got to them and they've proven you wrong every time.
1:11:09
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, Yorktown, I didn't realize it was that good.
1:11:12
[SPEAKER_05]: You and I were talking forward to the podcast.
1:11:14
[SPEAKER_02]: That's definitely really good.
1:11:16
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
1:11:16
[SPEAKER_05]: So Yorktown, I think maybe you could see them moving up the list.
1:11:20
[SPEAKER_05]: But that is the most foray looking poll I've ever seen.
1:11:23
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, shatard's always there, doing her Ron Kali, central's always there.
1:11:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Just usually new pals with them.
1:11:30
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, not new pals in five a and we're going to end talking.
1:11:35
[SPEAKER_01]: One other team, I don't know that you mentioned, but I have an eye on these.
1:11:38
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been pretty good here in a year out lately as East Noble.
1:11:41
[SPEAKER_01]: They're a team that maybe just be outside the top time, but that's a team to look out for as well.
1:11:46
[SPEAKER_02]: no doubt about it.
1:11:48
[SPEAKER_02]: And class five, a new pound number one cathedral number two and then a big drop to Bloomington South at number three, Concord Warsaw Snyder Floyd Central Castle and then Pinnleton Heights and Franklin.
1:12:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, I really like the five-day poll obviously.
1:12:02
[SPEAKER_05]: Those are going to be your one-two and Bloomington South coming from the football town of Bloomington.
1:12:09
[SPEAKER_05]: They are going to be
1:12:12
[SPEAKER_05]: they are going to be pretty stacked.
1:12:14
[SPEAKER_05]: They're they're a team that looking at their schedule actually plays a team out of Ohio.
1:12:18
[SPEAKER_05]: I think either this freak or next week, it's a weird it's like on a Saturday.
1:12:22
[SPEAKER_05]: They have to go to a team over in Ohio.
1:12:26
[SPEAKER_05]: They pounded their rival blooming to North last Friday, 49 to 6 and gave Johnson's their head coach.
1:12:34
[SPEAKER_05]: They are not better than cathedral or new Palestine.
1:12:37
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not sure anybody in 5A is that probably your state championship when they play each other in the sectional if they do.
1:12:44
[SPEAKER_05]: And not if when they do.
1:12:46
[SPEAKER_05]: But.
1:12:47
[SPEAKER_05]: Blooming to South certainly deserves to be there.
1:12:49
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a really good looking pole and then you look at the bottom half there like penultimate to really really good.
1:12:55
[SPEAKER_05]: And then Warsaw has always been south for Wayne Snyder.
1:12:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Five a five a is obviously top heavy with cathedral and new pal, but all those other teams are kind of fighting for the middle of that my opinion.
1:13:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was impressed with the Lafayette Jeff last year.
1:13:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they lost a shittard pretty handily, but that's a team I was impressed with last year, but I think it's a two horse race right now, a new pound, a cathedral, a team's to be eaten.
1:13:23
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, right now I don't see anybody in that top 10 that they don't be eating one of those teams for the state time.
1:13:29
[SPEAKER_02]: And I tried to lean toward teams the one for the first week.
1:13:32
[SPEAKER_02]: There are some teams that lost in here for sure, but that's why no team, no Lafayette Jeff plus it was never close in that day.
1:13:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, in class 6A, the top of it is pretty obvious, Brownsburg, Westfield, Carmel, Warren Central, and Lawrence, North, number 6, Fort Wayne, Carroll, 7, Center Grove, then Crown Point Penn and Ben Davis.
1:13:56
[SPEAKER_05]: Obviously does top four kind of what we expected.
1:14:01
[SPEAKER_05]: Lawrence North maybe can make the argument with them losing that they could be behind Carol.
1:14:07
[SPEAKER_05]: I think maybe would be my only slight objective there, but still six A's loaded, especially in the Indianapolis area.
1:14:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, those those top teams are pretty remarkable, you know, if there is one team from the north that might have a chance, you know, in that final week, it would be I think Carol, but yeah, I think there's an apples teacher are just too good though.
1:14:34
[SPEAKER_02]: And then this is just for fun because I want to start some arguments.
1:14:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to call this the central Indiana sports report power pole.
1:14:41
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not head to head.
1:14:43
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not regardless of class.
1:14:44
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just kind of a mix and whatever I want to do with my top 10.
1:14:49
[SPEAKER_02]: And here it is.
1:14:49
[SPEAKER_02]: So I want you guys to make fun of me.
1:14:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Brownsburg, new pal, Westfield, Carmel, Shattard, Ron Colley, Lawrence North, Lawrence Central.
1:14:59
[SPEAKER_02]: tip at the capital york town and bin Davis and then right outside my top 10 pinnleton cathedral try west lapel and looter um i would pay large sums of money to see new pal and west field play head to head right there i know yeah not hit the head i i do pal's the two time defending state champ i just why put them there i know i would also pay large sums of money to see them play browns for head to head
1:15:25
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, I think new powered probably lose both of them.
1:15:27
[SPEAKER_05]: You think I do.
1:15:28
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
1:15:29
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know this for me.
1:15:31
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that'd be a little too much.
1:15:32
[SPEAKER_05]: I haven't what do you think I don't know because I think that there is a 6A level team that's just playing in 5A.
1:15:37
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to find out next year.
1:15:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm kind of with Grant there.
1:15:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I think new powered could win with those games.
1:15:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sold on how good they really are and it cut probably one of the best coaches in the state.
1:15:47
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I would.
1:15:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd like new palaces and one of those.
1:15:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's any body but those two either in carmel probably.
1:15:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And they guess the only other thing I probably put warm central ahead of Lauren snorkels because of the when they add over standard or over the the way of course.
1:16:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if you're seeing this right now on the graphic in the background, I have switched those two.
1:16:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, of course, that was Warren Central should be ahead of Lawrence North.
1:16:15
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, Yorktown being in there again, you got a tip for your cap to then.
1:16:18
[SPEAKER_05]: They've been good.
1:16:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I think they were so close to win in the state championship last year.
1:16:24
[SPEAKER_05]: Hypothetically, if you did kind of put them up against the Warren Central or bin Davis, they're probably getting crushed.
1:16:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I, yeah, but you put them up on the Ron Colley and they almost beat them last year and they did beat Pendleton and they, uh,
1:16:36
[SPEAKER_05]: I think by the time it's said and done when we kind of rearrange these next week, it is the season goes on.
1:16:43
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to realize Ron Colley and Chittard probably aren't better than Lawrence North or Warren.
1:16:48
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, they're definitely not better than them head to head.
1:16:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm talking about more likely to win a state championship.
1:16:54
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what you're grading us on.
1:16:55
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay, how teams are performing against their competition?
1:17:00
[SPEAKER_02]: How about that?
1:17:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's say, let's say it that way, Kevin.
1:17:02
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
1:17:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, guys, that was fun.
1:17:04
[SPEAKER_02]: That was more than an hour.
1:17:06
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was a lot of fun.
1:17:07
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm excited for doing it again.
1:17:09
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm excited for the preview episode this week.
1:17:11
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, now.
1:17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: more sports talk in boner's time, boner's time on the central Indian sports report.
1:17:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Really, thanks for having me.
1:17:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
1:17:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I look forward to winning another week in the pick as well.
1:17:50
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's in and that lead.
1:17:53
[SPEAKER_02]: So Kevin and I will not be together Friday.
1:17:56
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, wow.
1:17:57
[SPEAKER_05]: He is going to be at the Indian O.S.
1:17:59
[SPEAKER_05]: Lee and versus Dort game.
1:18:01
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, no.
1:18:01
[SPEAKER_05]: Which is a top 10 any I imagine.
1:18:03
[SPEAKER_05]: It's on a Friday.
1:18:05
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know why.
1:18:06
[SPEAKER_05]: He probably knows more.
1:18:07
[SPEAKER_05]: We're kind of skeptical.
1:18:09
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you calling the game yourself?
1:18:11
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll be with a different partner.
1:18:13
[SPEAKER_05]: Things Andy Lions, you know Andy Lions.
1:18:15
[SPEAKER_05]: He's just a Madison Grant.
1:18:17
[SPEAKER_05]: What's going on?
1:18:20
[SPEAKER_05]: He's gonna be good.
1:18:20
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm looking forward, and then I'll probably... What game are you up?
1:18:23
[SPEAKER_05]: I've got FortWake and Cordy at Eastbrook.
1:18:25
[SPEAKER_05]: I then hope a next week, get Kevin back on Labor Day weekend, the holiday weekend, started off with Eastbrook at Alexandria at the rematch over at Alexandria.
1:18:37
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know that's where we'll be for sure yet.
1:18:39
[SPEAKER_05]: It'll need to probably be there or Franklin.
1:18:41
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm hoping Alexandria, but if we get a Franklin, we can go to Bernie's after, so.
1:18:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I hate to miss Friday's game with Grant.
1:18:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm really hate giving up a broadcast, but probably the biggest game on the highway was scheduled this year, I think, at home anyway, and gotta see what they're gonna be about this year, we'll see.
1:19:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Taylor, any good?
1:19:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Taylor will be good and I wouldn't be surprised if they give in the NOS and all they want this year too Well, the only good thing is that's at I will but I expect I don't have a means to that and it'll be a that'll be a packed packed house My wife's sisters went to Indian or Wesleyan and we went to Taylor so it's a big deal in our family It's an out into the house divided it is and if you are wearing those ugly Indian or Wesleyan colors You're not allowed in my house
1:19:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you can't get much ugly or than purple.
1:19:35
[SPEAKER_00]: Ow!
1:19:36
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the perfect light end it.
1:19:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for that.
1:19:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks Kevin.
1:19:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I always appreciate it as always.
1:19:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that sure was fun.
1:19:59
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much to Kevin and Grant for joining me.
1:20:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks so much to Lebanon reporter, sports editor Will Williams, and, once he star press sports editor, Kate Hampton.
1:20:10
[SPEAKER_02]: And especially to you for listening, that was a lot of work, and it was a lot of fun.
1:20:14
[SPEAKER_02]: It was about 20 more minutes than I was expecting.
1:20:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So I guess it's just gonna be an hour and a half from now on every week.
1:20:21
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna be talking about the week that was, and on Thursday this week,
1:20:26
