Staff Report


Overall, Conference Indiana suffered through a tough night on the gridiron in week two of the season. The league went 2-4 for the evening with one game suspended and another scheduled for Saturday evening at Lucas Oil Stadium.

 

The highlight of the evening was delivered by Southport. The Cardinals graduated both their quarterback and top running back last season and there have been worries about their offensive output. Those were heightened last week when they dropped a decision to southside rival Roncalli. Week two should dispel some of the concern. Southport posted 65 points in blitzing Anderson 65- Meanwhile; Roncalli gave some credence to the Cardinal performance in the opener. The Rebels blasted Franklin Central 35-7.

 

Bloomington North also continues to be impressive. For the second week in a row, the Cougars put forth a very solid defensive effort. It resulted in a 31-7 romp over Bedford-North Lawrence.

 

Pike fell in the most high profile game of the night. The Red Devils faced defending state champion Center Grove and struggled offensively in a 24-7 setback. Those struggles were duplicated by Perry Meridian who was shut out by Decatur Central 27-0. The Falcons have yet to dent the endzone this season. Lawrence Central fell victim to a rapidly improving North Central team 16-14.

 

Columbus North was leading city rival East 21-13 in the third quarter of their annual war when Mother Nature stepped in. The teams suffered through lightning delays of more than an hour and a half before the game was suspended and scheduled to be completed on Saturday.
