Unlike Chicago Cub fans, people in
have lived long enough to see what many thought they never would. The Southport
Cardinals are champions of Conference
football. The Cardinals captured the crown Friday night with a 42-28 victory
over Bloomington North at Perry Stadium. The win leaves
with a 6-0 league record and a two game margin in the standings with only one
game left to play. It also marked their seventh consecutive victory overall,
making them 7-1 on the year. In 2007,
was 1-9. It marks perhaps the greatest turnaround in the history of
The remaining battle is for second place in the conference.
After Friday night’s action, three teams are tied entering the final week with
4-2 league marks. They include Bloomington South, Pike, and Lawrence central.
Pike kept pace in that battle with a 37-6 pasting of winless
Perry Meridian. Bloomington South took care of business by downing Columbus
North 28-14. Lawrence Central exploded offensively and crushed Franklin Central
47-20. All three of the teams in this battle will be favored this coming Friday
night in the regular season’s final week. However, all three will have to stake
their claim on the road. Pike visits Franklin Central while Bloomington South
will come north to face Perry Meridian. Lawrence Central closes out at
Bloomington North.
