Friday night, the
cardinals finished what they started in week three of the season. They capped
off an undefeated Conference
championship. However, it wasn’t easy. The Cardinals topped a proud Columbus
North squad 21-16. The continued improvement of the Bull Dog defense is an
indication they will be a tough out when tourney play begins next week.
Pike, Bloomington South, and Lawrence Central all scored
victories Friday night, and as a result all tied for second in the CI standings
with 5-2 conference marks. Pike continued their late season offensive fireworks
by downing Franklin Central 51-32. Bloomington South demolished Perry Meridian
42-0, and Lawrence Central outscored Bloomington North 34-27.
continue their fairytale season in opening round sectional action against Perry
Meridian next Friday. The struggling Falcons pose the ultimate trap game as
there is nothing that could salvage their season more than to oust their hated
township rivals. Pike will need to continue the offensive fireworks. The Red
Devils have an opening date with Ben Davis in that same sectional. The Giants
will be walking tall after their upset of top rated Carmel in the season finale
Franklin Central also feeds into the same sectional and opens with HCC opponent
Brownsburg at home..
Bloomington South is the team that will get to test improving
Columbus North. The Panthers have to travel to
City rival North will also be on the road. The Cougars will tangle with Decatur
Central.
Call it luck or misfortune, but Lawrence Central moves away
from any further conference showdowns for awhile. The Bears, however, find
themselves in the same sectional with a wounded
Southeastern. LC will begin sectional lay facing a North Central team they beat
handily in week two of the season.
