Homecoming Game Loss to Avon, 36-14

     It was a disappointing night for the Tigers as they struggled to get much going offensively and found Avon quarterback, Brandon Peters, and his supporting offensive group tough to stop.

     Much of the game was played with the Tigers entrenched in their own side of the field.  Minus a punt block returned for a touchdown by RJ Potts and another touchdown by Potts via a Zach Eaton pass in the 2nd quarter, the Tigers offense struggled.  On the night, Tigers came up with 10 first downs and only 183 total odds with an uncharacteristic 23 net rushing yards.

Offensive Player of the Game:  Kade Orris, 7 catches for 107 yards.  Orris had an exceptional game finding openings for Zach Eaton to complete downfield passes.

Defensive + Special Teams Player of the Game:  RJ Potts, fumble recovery for a TD, blocked PAT,

     Fishers 14, Avon 36

Tigers Beat Bulldogs 39-23

     Fishers Tigers hit the road friday night to take on the explosive Brownsburg Bulldogs and left with a 39-23 conference win.

     Fishers Tigers' offense was led by 277 team rushing yards, highlighted by Trevor Newman breaking the century mark with 106 yards with a TD and Jeremy Chinn adding another 91.  Jeremy Chinn finished the night with 9 rushes, 91 yards for 9.1 average and 3 TDs.  Receiving was led by Keyshawn Burrell's 5 catches for 38 yards but the air attack was highlighted by Cade Orris' single catch that went for 53 yards and a TD.  Tiger QB Zach Eaton spread 13 receptions among 8 different players for a total of 153 yards on the passing attack.

     The special teams continue to improve this week and Taylor Soper proved his punting prowess with 4 punts for a 48.5 yard average and a long of 57 yards.  Importantly, when Brownsburg was able to return kicks, the Tiger coverage team was able to mostly keep Brownsburg bottled up and avoid the big return.

     Brownsburg's high power offense was led by junior Tennessee commit Hunter Johnson's 265 yards on 22 of 38 passing.  Senior Iowa commit Toks Akinribade gained 97 yards on 17 rushes and 3 TDs and a longest run on the night of 34 yards.  Tigers' defense was able to avoid momentum changing big plays and kept Brownsburg from gaining any rhythm on the field.

Offensive Player of Game:  Jeremy Chinn

Defensive Player of Game:  Jalen Moss

What a Difference One Half Can Make

     Fishers Tigers put together a great first half and went into half leading 28-0 over HSE.  The second half was a completely different story and left the Tigers on the losing end of an incredibly disappointing 39-33 defeat.

     The second half saw the Tigers giving the ball up to opponents for the first time this season and those critical giveaways allowed HSE to score quickly and often from the end of the 3rd and late into the 4th quarters to steal away the Mudsock trophy this year.

     After a Fishers field goal with 3:00 left in the 3rd quarter, the Tigers were still holding a 31-7 lead over the Royals.  Capitalizing on fumbles and stalled drives by the Tigers, HSE would score with 2:00 left in the 3rd to take it to 31-13 after failing on 2 point conversion.  The 3rd quarter ended with Tigers up 31-13.

     Fourth quarter continued the Tiger crumbling.  With 9:50 left in game, HSE scored another TD.  With 8:50 left, HSE scored again but failed on the 2 point conversion.  Fishers 31, HSE 26.  With 7:15 left, HSE scores again and take the lead 32-31 after failing on the 2 point conversion.  With 2:23 left in the game, HSE would score on a long Aaron Matio run and lead 39-31 over the Tigers.  Late in the 4th quarter, Tigers would drive down to the HSE 1 yard line but would fail on 4th down to get the ball into the endzone and HSE would run the clock with a safety and a 39-33 come from way behind win over the Tigers.

     A game for many high school football fans that will not be forgotten.  Perhaps, the Fishers Tigers should be the first to not forget this one!  Play the game till the end, the VERY END!

     After a disastrous 2nd half, the picture in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference looks much different than we hoped it would after week 4.

Rumble in the Jungle...It's OUR HOUSE!

Week 3 In The Books With Win Over Noblesville

Week 1 - win over North Central 28-0
Week 2 - win over Pike 20-8
Week 3 - conference win #1 over Noblesville 38-13 - article in The Times and boxcore.

Players of week 3:
Offense - Trevor Newman, 14-96, TD
Defense - Jalen Moss and Shawn Taylor
Special Teams - Colton Thomas and Taylor Soper

Conference Table after Week 3 and quick thoughts of the road to come:

Fishers defense continues to impress and we can only hope this intensity and results continue as we enter the heart of conference play and big week against rivals HSE Royals.  HSE surprised many with victory with Avon, bringing Avon down to earth a little bit more.  Prior to the HSE loss, Avon was looking to be the team to beat and they still may very well be.

Week 3 breakout player was running back Trevor Newman rushing 14 times for 96 yards and a TD against Noblesville.  Kicking game and special teams showed great improvement and will be crucial over the season.

Rivalry week comes with expected anticipation and these are the games that are meant to be won!  RJ Potts will be returning from suspension after the targeting disqualification in the Pike game and we can only hope his return will bring something to prove to HSE and the defense will feed off that fuel he will no doubt provide.  The offensive line for the Tigers will need to be at the top of their game against the Royals, minimizing mistakes and maximizing protection.

Go Tigers!
