Sectional Championship At Carmel, 7pm

The 5th ranked, but underdog, Tigers travel across Hamilton County to 6th ranked Carmel for a rare opportunity to take on one of the most storied high school programs in Indiana.  The 7-3 Carmel Greyhounds come off a 40-7 win against HSE Royals last week on the road.

Carmel brings a number of excellent running backs and a dual-quarterback offense that will try to keep the Tiger offense honest as they can also connect with one of the state's best national recruits in Sr. WR Austin Roberts who will continue his play at the next level at UCLA.

Mark Morrow with HC Sports Daily also asks the question of when Fishers/Carmel will become a rivalry here:


The answer may be answered on friday night!

The MIC may get a lot of attention, and it is justified, but MIC teams, the press and the Greyhounds can continue to not give the Fishers Tigers and HCC schools any respect.  That's alright.  Tigers will be ready to play and give it for all 48 minutes.  The Tigers may be coming to Carmel's door saying "trick or treat" but the Tigers aren't going to wait to see what Carmel hands out.  The Tigers will bring all the Halloween to Carmel that they will ever want!
