Snider still up four...fourth quarter..

Saints looking to drive again... pulling out some tricks on fourth down... lytle the screen pass to vinny fiacable... but he's hit immediately by ison robinson..

Saints have to punt...they'd get the ball back after a fumble... and a few plays later... devon tippmann has a house call... 20 yards for the tuddy...saints take the 10-7 lead and they never look back..

Dwenger wins 17-7... out to gorsuch field... carroll playing host to concordia looking to rebound from their loss to homestead last week...chargers slow to start... and concordia took advantage... brandon davis... screen pass to amir drew... that's big first down yardage... in to carroll territory...later in the drive... fourth and goal for concordia... kam johnson on in the wildcat... looks like he's bottled up... but he escapes the tackle... reverses field... and finds the pylon for six... cadets go up seven...carroll looking to answer on their next drive... luke carmody rips off the big run in to concordia territory...a few plays later... jeff becker rolling... and finding jameson coverstone downfield for the big completion...carroll would get a field goal out of the drive... and they go on to win 24-14 your final tonight... next stop in the s-a-c comes at spuller stadium... northrop hosting north side.... ball game square at seven a piece when we pick it up in the second quarter... legends knocking on the door... ja'suan lambert plows in from a yard out on fourth down... north side up 7... bruins do have an answer... damarious cowen takes the handoff... makes a couple guys miss..

Carson clark tos sir hale.

Easy score and luers is up six..

???archers trying to get something going.... matthew morris absolutely levels the defender.???but this one was all bishop luers.

Carson clark finds brody glenn across the middle... thats another first down.???couple plays later... clark looks around... finds his runing back hale... able to dive and grab it.???the knights they take this one... 41-27... ???we move to the ac-ac now... south adams ranked number one in the state in class 1-a, looking to move to 8-0 on the season as they host woodlan..???and this was just not a fair fight from the beginning... first quarter, first possesion for the starfires... james arnold hits braden bixler across the middle for the touchdown... it's 7-0 stars less than two minutes in..???ensuing touch for woodlan... jacob snyder trying to make something 3 happen, but he's picked off by alex gorney... south adams takes over with great field position..???and just two plays later, they take advantage... christian summersett finds paydirt... starfires go up 14-0...???they go on to win 61-6... and with that, south adams is your outright ac-ac champion for the second consecutive year... ???just up the road in bluffton..

Tigers were supposed to travel to adams central tonight, but that game was canceled due to covid concerns... prairie heights was supposed to play heritage, but that game was also scrapped... so the panthers made the trip down to bluffton..???and the tigers were putting it on 'em early... you saw hayden nern hitting bobby malcolm over the top for the touchdown... this time it's cody mittlestedt scoring for the tigers..

Makes it 34-0 bluffton early in the second quarter..

???later in the first half... nern to malcolm... if it ain't broke don't fix it... no one's catching malcolm..???tigers all over the panthers tonight, 64-13... they move to 7-1 on the season..

Lapel 42, jay county 15 let go up to albion, central noble welcoming eastside tonight.

It was all blazers most of the night.

They march right down the field on the opening drive of the second half.the blazers able to seal the edge here, letting matt firestine get into the endzone for score that helps out the blazers up 28-0 at this point.

The cougs, they would claw one back quarterback sawyer yoder absolutely launches one down the sideline to ashton smith who takes it 85 yards to the crib, giving cn their first points of the game.but their still down three touchdowns at this poi get nd it doesn better for the cougars.sawyer looking downfield, he would be picked off by carson jaco s and he takes off.he able to evade a few tacklers to complete the pick six for the blazers.

Eastside, come up winners tonight.they top central noble 42 - 7 the final there ?

Up at fairfield high school, the lakeland lakers paying the falcons a visit.fairfield showe about they early on.

First drive for the falcons, the pitch to dalton cripe who rips off a big chunk of yards for the falcons, apparently putting them within scoring distance because the very next play, they go jump ball.cory lantz finds braedon helms in the endzone to put the falcons up 6-0.the lakers trying to get something going the throw from jaydon marshall finds deion marshall on the sideline, but the falcons d was a bit of bend, but no break, they get to the qb here.

They go on to win 42-0 ?

Down to ligonier, the west noble chargers hosting churubusco tonight, a lot of defense in the first half.but busco finally gets their first tuddy of the game here.

Wyatt marks is able to avoid the tackle to help put the eagles up 8-6.a little bit later on, eagles force the chargers to punt, but they bobble the catch, and west noble recover the ball, but unfortunately, they would give it back to busco.

The eagles d.they were strong tonight, getting to the qb for a loss of yards.busco would get the offense rolling in the second half.
