The above game capsule and prediction comes from John Harrell's Indiana High School Football

Brownsburg's 3 wins this year have all come at the hands of the Lafayette area schools.  This has the feeling of Brownsburg's final game of the SEASON as they will take on AP 9th ranked Pike in round one of playoffs.  They will come to play in both but Brownsburg will want to upset Fishers and walk out of home a winner taking away the Tigers' Hoosier Crossroads Conference championship.  Brownsburg won the conference last season.

Brownsburg is led on offense by sophomore RB Toks Akinribade and he has been putting up big numbers against even the tougher teams in the conference with the exceptions of HSE and Zionsville.  Brownsburg runs the ball versus passes at at least a 2 to 1 ratio.  The teams best rushing performances were against McCutcheon and Harrison when they put up 301 and 303 yards respectively.  Against Harrison, Brownsburg ran the ball 52 times and had a run to pass ration of 5:1.  Against Jeff, they put up 298 yards on 40 carries.  Indeed, Brownsburg will look early and often to control the game with the rushing attack.

Go Tigers!
