Friday night football is back. We’ve got your complete guide to the games and the season ahead. Here are the highlights:
Center Grove has room for you
No more arriving an hour before kickoff to get a seat. Nearly 2,000 seats were added when the bleachers were replaced. The Trojans have room for 6,000 fans.
Big stage
Each year, teams are selected to play at Lucas Oil Stadium. Class 5A No. 10 Whiteland opens its season on the biggest stage in the state against No. 2 New Palestine, last year’s state runner-up.
Who to watch
Titus McCoy of Center Grove rushed for 1,912 yards and 40 touchdowns as a junior, and he’s a Mr. Football candidate this fall. Whiteland has three Junior All-State picks from last year back on defense: DT Ryder Emberton, LB Logan Mullinix and CB Djimmon Ogega.
What’s in a number?
Center Grove starts the season ranked No. 1 in 6A, Roncalli is No. 3 in 4A, and Whiteland is 10th in 5A.
Milestone within reach
Indian Creek coach Mike Gillin is going for his 300th career victory tonight against Lawrenceburg.
