Losses in
two high profile games dimmed an otherwise fine night for MIC teams in week two
action. For the second week in a row, Cathedral knocked off a top rated MIC
squad. This time the Irish built a 35-24 lead over Warren Central and then
withstood a furious Warrior rally to escape with a 35-32 victory. The game
ended when Warren Central stalled at the Cathedral 30 yard line in the closing seconds.
Ben Davis continued its struggles in marquis games. The Giants fell 7-6 to Penn
in that annual showdown
Four other
conference teams picked up victories versus non-conference opposition. The most
impressive came from defending state champion Center Grove who dominated Pike
24-7. In two games the Trojan defense has allowed just seven points to
Conference Indiana foes. Carmel bounced back with a 42-7 shellacking of
Lebanon. North Central gave notice they are headed in the right direction. The
Panthers downed Lawrence Central 16-14 giving Keith Shelton his first victory
as head man at the school. Finally, Lawrence North rebounded from a poor
offensive performance in week one by splattering Louisville Trinity 31-14.
Terre Haute
North took the early lead in the conference race. The Patriots downed city
rival South 30-28 in the first conference tilt of the year. The victory moves
North to 2-0 on the campaign.
The league season will begin in earnest next
Friday. Ben Davis will visit North Central while Warren Central travels to
Lawrence North. The premiere game of the night will be in Carmel. It is a
rematch of last season’s state title game as Center Grove will come calling on
the Greyhounds. Both Terre Haute schools will face outside competition
