It is beginning to look like October 10th is going to be D-Day in the Sagamore Conference. That is the night that Crawfordsville will travel to North Montgomery. Those two squads seized early control of the league race Friday night. Still, Danville and Tri-West may yet have something to say about determining the conference champion.

 

Here is a look at Friday night’s action.

 

The big game of the evening was at Tri-West where the unbeaten Bruins tangled with North Montgomery which had also yet to taste defeat. The Chargers relentless ground attack and a case of fumbleitis on the part of Tri-West led to a relatively easy 44-21 win for the visitors from Montgomery County.

 

Danville stayed in contention by dumping Southmont 37-21. The victory leaves the Warriors 2-1 in league play with dates still remaining versus both Tri-West and North Montgomery. The Mounties drop to 0-2 in league play.

 

For the second week in a row, Crawfordsville escaped a close contest. This time it was a 27-20 win over hard luck Western Boone. The victory gives the Athenians the outright lead in the conference race at 3-0. However, they not only still have North Montgomery on the schedule, they also are yet to play Tri-West.

 

Lebanon broke into the win column with a 17-6 victory over Frankfort. Don’t count the Tigers out. Their murderous pre-conference schedule prepares them well for the rigors of Sagamore action.
