FB: Surprises abound in HCC gridiron chase

Posted on 31 August 2009 by .

 

HA Staff Report



Well, it
hasn’t taken long to reveal that the Hoosier Crossroads Conference race is
going to be a topsy-turvy affair. Friday night’s results redden the faces of
preseason predictors and jumbled the standings.

 

We told you
last week that the Westfield-Avon game was going to have a big impact on the
league race, and indeed it did. The Shamrocks clubbed the Orioles 24-13. That
made Avon, a preseason co-favorite, 0-2 out of the gate. It also left Westfield
at the top of the standings along with an unexpected cast. They join
Brownsburg, Zionsville, and Fishers at 2-0.

 

Brownsburg
travelled to Lucas Oil Stadium and picked up its second win, 14-7 over
Noblesville. Fishers handed another of the conference favorites, Hamilton
Southeastern, a 10-6 setback. Finally, Zionsville continued to be the most
impressive team in the early going. The Eagles clubbed McCutcheon 54-3.

 

Harrison
blistered Lafayette Jeff 50-14. Keep in mind the Raiders only lost to Westfield
by a single point. Do not count them out in the title chase.

 

This coming
Friday, the highlight affair will feature Fishers journeying to Westfield. That
contest will thin the ranks of the unbeaten one way or another. The other
contest to watch is Avon travelling to Harrison. The Orioles certainly qualify
as a desperate team right now. Meanwhile, Harrison will need this one to stay
in the conference chase.

FB: HCC action was furious in week one on the gridiron

Posted on 23 August 2009 by .

 

HA Staff Report


While most
of the major schools in Indiana were warming up with non-conference foes Friday
night, HCC teams entered the fray of league action. One of the unique aspects
of Hoosier Crossroads football is that the entire schedule is comprised of
conference games. Here is a look at Friday’s action.

 

Much has
been made in the media of Zionsville’s move to 5A. We at Hoosier Authority are
not sure why. The Eagles have played a 
5A schedule for years, ever since joining the HCC. They showed Friday
they are ready for the rigors by blasting Lafayette Jeff 41-0. It was the first
shutout suffered by the Bronchos in 14 seasons.

 

The
explosive offenses forgot to show up at Hamilton Southeastern. The contest
between the Royals and Avon was billed as an early showdown and was expected to
be a high scoring affair. It was anything but that. Hamilton Southeastern
prevailed in a defensive struggle 7-6. Westfield conquered Harrison in another
nail biting clash. The rapidly improving Shamrocks came away with a 14-13
victory.

 

The offensive
shootout took place in Noblesville. Fishers invaded the Millers’ home and came
away with a 38-29 win. Brownsburg rounded out the slate with a 19-8 victory
over McCutcheon.

 

The results
from opening night mean that only one game this coming Friday will be between
two teams who won in week one. That will take place when Hamilton Southeastern
travels to corporation foe Fishers. The other key game on the docket will be in
Avon where the orioles try to bounce back against Westfield. A Shamrock win
would spell real trouble for Avon’s title hopes this time around.

VB: 4A #5 Center Grove sweeps past 4A #10 Avon in three games

Posted on 19 August 2009 by .

By Mike McGraw
Executive Director

GREENWOOD – It didn’t take long for the fireworks to start this volleyball season. Center Grove and Avon, two of Central Indiana’s highly ranked Class 4A teams, squared off Aug. 18 on the Trojans’ home court in opening night-action.

The moral of the story on this night? Experience is a very valuable thing.

Fifth-ranked Center Grove boasts eight seniors on the roster, and most are critical to the Trojan effort. Meanwhile, No. 10 Avon has just five final-year players and lined up for the first time in a long time without departed Miss Everything Katie Griffin.

The result was a three-game sweep for the hosts, 25-19, 25-18, and 27-25. That one-sided result came in direct contrast to last year’s season-opening joust between these two that went four games, including a 30-28 final-game advantage for victorious Avon.

One of the many things that experience produces is consistency. The simple fact is, on this night, Center Grove had longer stretches of consistent play than did the young Orioles.

That was especially true in the Trojans’ defensive effort. Their back-line defense was exceptional most of the evening as a trio of seniors – Sarah Dooms, Ariel Knafel, and Adria Pryor – combined for 22 digs.

The leader of the pack was Dooms, who had nine of the digs and added a whopping 15 kills. After the match, she attributed the great defense to chemistry that has been built up over four years.

(Dooms’ comments, in addition to those of Center Grove coach Deb McClurg, can be seen in the video player on this page!)

Don’t feel too sorry for Avon, however. Coach Scott McQueen’s young Orioles learned very quickly. After falling behind early in each of the first two games, they battled point for point throughout Game 3.

The key to that effort was a net attack that improved drastically as the match wore on.

It will not take long for these two rivals to get reacquainted as they will meet again this weekend in the Center Grove Invitational. Powerful Roncalli (ranked fifth in Class 3A) is also in that field, so stay tuned to HoosierAuthority.com for that score and more!
