That senior class was special, they brought something that we had been missing which was the real ...

The South offense started out with a band with Devin Craig (Lapel) finding Davion Davis (Ben Davis) for 16 yards. The Craig found Matthew Young (Switzerland County) for 38 yards. The South drive ended when Brady Trebley (Cascade) was stuffed short of the first down on fourth and one by Kallen Quaderer (Mississinewa), with 6:51 left in the opening quarter. The South defense got a big play when Slade Fell (Northview) slung Derion Morris (East Chicago) down for a loss of three. At the 1:31 mark of the first quarter the South defense came up even bigger when Luke Freel (Bloomington North) picked of a Brady Elish (Andrean). Fifty seconds into the 2nd quarter Craig found the Ken...
