South uses rushing and passing game to dump the North 41-14 (Indiana)

 

Friday after work, I made the drive from Worthington, Ohio, to Decature Central High School in Indiana to take in for the first time the Indiana North vs. South game. This was also my first time visiting Central High School.

The North struck first when Nolan McCullough (Penn) found a wide open TJ Caldwell (Hobart) for an 80-yard touchdown. After Austin Deleon (Norwell) was true on the point after kick, the score was 7-0, with 11:00 minutes left on the first quarter clock.

The South would put together a game-tying drive, with Garrett Sherell (Brownsburg) doing his best Keith Byers impression by breaking a tackle to find pay dirt from four yards out. After Trevor Henkle (Zionsville) was true on the point after kick, we were locked up at seven with 5:27 left in the quarter.

McCullough would use his feet to pick up ten yards with 10:53 left in the half. Dontell Harris (Hammond Morton) was thrown for a four-yard loss by the South's Elijah Shankle (Franklin Central) with 10:27 showing on the clock. McCullough would find Demario Spence (Hammond Morton) for thirteen yards. The South defense would end the drive a short time later.

Jarrin Alley, wearing number thirteen, picked up thirteen yards to give the South a big first down. A nine-yard run from Dylan Maxwell (East Central) helped set up a twenty-eight-yard gut run by Sherrell to put the South up 14-7 with 4:03 left in the half.

The South used a nice play from Levi Oxley (Reitz), who stopped Owen Roeder (Northwood) for a two-yard loss. The North would find themselves down 24-7 with 32.7 seconds left in the half after a 34-yard field goal by Henkle.

Jackson Gilber (Westfield) showed off his arm accuracy when he hit Cayden Olinger (Brownsburg) for a thirteen-yard score to make this a 31-7 game with 6:26 left in the third quarter.

A couple of minutes later, we had a 38-7 lead after Sherrell used a couple of Barry Sanders-type moves to break a tackle and find the end zone from 36 yards.

The South defense would get a nice play from Brayden Hahn (Danville) when he got to Roeder for a loss of four, forcing another North punt with 3:33 left in the third.

Jarrin Alley (Bloomington South) hooked up with Logan Shoffner (Noblesville) for a 26-yard gain for the final big play in the third quarter. The drive would end with a twenty-four-yard field goal by Henkle, who looked like he should be playing college ball, making this a 41-17 game with 11:08 left.

Brian Wall Providence made a nice pick for the South and had a nice return but fumbled the ball at the North seventeen-yard line, and the North came out of the scrum with the ball. McCullough found Deakon Dilts (Mississinewa) for 36 yards. The North drive ended with a 24-yard touchdown pass from McCullough to Demario Spence (Hammond Morton) to make this a 41-14 game.

A sack from Shankle and a pick by Wall would be the last two big plays in the game.

Semi Pro: Columbus Fire 8 Port City Spartans 0 (Game called in the third because of fighting)

Image
  Yesterday I drove to Portsmouth and met up with my friend Bill Norman after dinner at The Portsmouth Brewing Company before driving over to Spartan Stadium to watch the semi-pro football game and watch the Port City Spartans host the Columbus Fire. I have been to over 1,500 football games, or close to that amount, and I can say none of them prepared me for what I ended up seeing. The stadium had one set of lights that did not work at all that I had seen before (Jackson State University). One pole had a light missing, and another pole had one single light that did not work at all on the visitor's side, making the field dark. I saw a fan on the Spartans side of the field standing with the players vaping, and I saw a player setting on the bench for most of the game also vaping. The game itself was stopped once when the refs walked off the field for what one player on the Spartans said was because a Columbus player said something about going after the ref with a gun. Then a fight bro...

  Logan Doughty Miller High School Quarterback, free safety 2025 6,2 170 lbs What are some of the awards you have won or earned? Two times first team all MSL, two times first team all district, two times honorable mention all Ohio What were the high and low points of the 2023 season? I’d say a high point would be doubling our wins from the 2022 season. Some low points would be losing three close games that would’ve given us a higher seed in tournament play and not being able to win a playoff game. What are your personal goals for the 2024 season? 1,500 rushing yards and 1,000 passing yards, 25 rushing touchdowns, and 15 passing touchdowns. How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play? I have been playing football for 11 years. Football clicked as soon as I put the pads on; there’s something about it that I can’t get enough of. I’d say the reason I continue to play is my love for the game. Who or what got you interested in playing footb...
