As 6-4 Greg Phillips goes high in the air for a pass, there is little Cascade's Jerry Faletic can do about it. Phillips caught one pass for a touchdown and another for a twopoint conversion Friday night,

Wounded Tiger Cubs blanked at Monrovia

By BILL SEIBOLD Banner-Graphic Sports Writer MONROVIA-Kurt Everett and Tim Selvia combined for 215 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Monrovia Bulldogs to a 21-0 high school football shutout over the Greencastle Tiger Cubs Friday night. Greencastle’s wounded squad shut down the Bulldog offense throughout the first quarter, forcing a fumble and two punts. But the Cubs also faultered and were forced to play one-two-three-punt on their fir.st three possessions. “WE WERE JUST outplayed. When you have to tackle Everett and Selvia all night long, they wear you down,” coach John Fallis said following the defeat. “Those two have run hard on us for three years. They make good tackles look like poor tackles.” Monrovia opened the game with a firstdown run by Selvia for 15 yards as he swept right. But two plays later a fumble was recovered by Greencastle’s Steve Penley on the Bulldog’s 42-yard line. The Tiger Cub offense, however, could move only two yards before being forced to punt. Pat Meyer punted his first of six, averaging 37 yards for the night. The second Bulldog series gained no yardage as both Selvia and Everett were stopped with no gains on tackles by Penley, Robert Sedlack and Chris Gilbert. The teams exchanged two punts each and set up the first scoring drive. MONROVIA TOOK THE ball on its own 20-yard line. Quarterback Darryl Clements hit Tom Kays for a 10-yard pass. Three plays later he found Jon Davis with a 13yard first-down aerial. Following the quarter break, Clements threw a 24-yard pass to Davis to the Cub 15. Two plays later Everett went up the middle for a 11-yard touchdown run. Davis kicked the PAT. The Cubs received the kickoff and saw Rick Renschen return for 24 yards. After two rushing plays, quarterback Pat Meyer threw for the Cubs’ initial first down. The screen pass to Robert Sedlack moved the ball 21 yards to the Bulldog 39-yard line. Being unable to move from there the Cubs threw a fourth-down pass, only to have it intercepted by Jim Hunter.

Early Edinburgh execution keeps Qoverdale winless

By CHRIS KNAUER Banner-Graphic Sports Writer CLOVERDALE-A touchdown late in the fourth quarter by Cloverdale’s Bob Reynolds wasn’t enough to help the Clovers find the elusive first win in 31 games Friday night as the Edinburgh Lancers won the high school football contest, 28-6. Edinburgh scored all 28 of its points in the first half. “We beat ourselves in that first half,” assistant CHS coach Jeff Settle said. “It was as if we were putting too much pressure on ourselves.” IT SEEMED LIKE the Lancers were intent upon getting their scoring done in the first half before the Clovers gained their usual second-half momentum.

Homecoming win makes Eagles 2-2

S. Putnam earns shutout victory

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Unveiling a balanced offense and new defense, South Putnam celebrated homecoming Friday night with a 2(H) high school football victory over Cascade in a non-cluster game. Wendy Swanson’s homecoming queen reign tied a South Putnam school record, as it was the second shutout of the year. The Eagles, who blanked Owen Valley in the season opener, set the record with a pair of shutouts last year. “I DON’T THINK they expected us to be able to play with them, them being a big double-A school,” coach Bob Gaddis said after his Eagles evened their record at 2-2. South did everything, throwing the football for the expected 153 yards, while also racking up a season-high 116 yards rushing. “We threw it and run it just enough to balance it,” Gaddis praised. And the defense was something that wouldn’t have been in Cascade’s scouting report. To combat Cascade’s double-wing, run and shoot offense, defensive coordinator Mark Wildman had the Eagles in a three-four defense - three down linemen and four linebackers - instead of the usual 52. “WE TOOK THEIR counter game away in the second half,” Gaddis said. “I told the kids ‘if we make them pass we’ll win.’” The Eagles limited Cascade to 58 yards rushing, and although quarterback Jeff Perry completed 10 passes for 125 yards. South also intercepted four of the 34 attempts. South’s defense was so effective Cascade didn’t get its initial first down until its third possession, and by that time the Eagles were ahead 14-0. GETTING EXCELLENT field position from good defensive efforts. South scored on its first two possessions. Darrin Lewis

Neither team could generate an offense the remainder of the first half. BUT THE BULLDOGS had plenty of of sense their first two possessions of the second half. A 49-yard punt by Greencastle’s Meyer downed the ball on the Bulldog 6-yard line. A 94-yard drive by Monrovia included five first downs, runs of 19,10,20 and 15 yards, and three passes for 9,4 and 22 yards. A third-and-eight pass from Clements to Hunter kept the drive alive at one point. Everett showed sensational individual effort on a carry which saw him shake off five potential tackles. The score came on a 15-yard run right up the center by Everett. Again Davis kicked the conversion. Greencastle took the kickoff and lost the ball on a third-down fumble, recovered by Monrovia’s Buel Brown on the Cub 35-yard line. This time it took only two carries by Selvia to reach the end zone. The first carry was a 32-yard gain as he shook off four tackles and cutback for blocking twice. Then a three-yard dive up the center gave the Bulldogs their third touchdown. Davis made it three-for-three as he booted the PAT. THE TIGER CUBS generated a sustained drive on their next series. A 20yard pass from Meyer to Joe Franklin gave the Cubs a first down on the Bulldog 38-yard line. Then, on fourth-and-two, Steve Penley carried for 12 yards and another first down. Three plays later, and after the quarter break, Meyer threw his second interception to stop the drive. Next Friday the Tiger Cubs will travel to Edgewood for a cluster game against the sixth-ranked AA Mustangs.

the Edinburgh squad gave the Lancers their six points. Receiver Donnie Burton took in an eight-yard pass from Ronnie Burton at 4:15 in the end zone. A completed two-point conversion pass to Bill Maggard followed. The Lancers started the second quarter with yet another Burton-to-Burton touchdown, followed by a completed two-point conversion pass to their younger brother Tim Burton. The Clovers controlled the ball for only two succeeding plays when a bad snap turned into a fumble. Edinburgh recovered the ball and six plays later Mike Wilkerson stepped into the end zone for the Lancer’s last touchdown of the evening with 4:15 left in the first half.

shot through into the Cadet backfield for a critical no-gain tackle on the opening series of the game and on the first play after receiving Doug Stephenson’s punt the Eagles were knocking at the door. “We’ve never come out and taken it to them in the first quarter of our homecoming game,” Gaddis said of one objective. Just like lightning, the Eagles went from their own 40-yard line to the Cadet five when Brian Meek pulled in the first of his three pass receptions from quarterback Tony Lewis, this one going for 55 yards. Only William Smith and Daryl Stephenson prevented Meek from scoring, chasing the tight end down from behind. THREE PLAYS LATER Lewis sneaked the ball into the end zone for the first Eagle touchdown. South’s two-point conversion pass attempt was batted down, leaving the score 6-0. It was Darrin Lewis again who slowed Cascade’s offense, dropping Perry for a 10yard loss on the second down of the ensuing possession. Brian Bridgewater’s 16yard punt return started South on its second touchdown march from the Cadet 48. The Eagles went to the air again, Chris Sullivan pulling in a 19-yard Lewis pass, but that’s when the ground game came into play. Lewis kept the ball for a 10-yard

second half wasn’t long, as Richard Marion intercepted a Scott Novak pass. However Cloverdale’s Mike Cooper was able to repay the Lancers with a quarterback sack for a loss of 10 yards. However, no points were to be gained by either team for the rest of the quarter. A fumble lost by the Lancers at the end of the third quarter led to a Clover touchdown 12 plays later at 4:13 of the fourth quarter. This was accomplished by a short run from Bob Reynolds. The extra point attempt failed. Bob Sawyer led the Clovers in rushing for the night with 10 carries for 42 yards. Troy Ridpath of Edinburgh had a good game with 11 carries for 127 yards.

gain, followed by a pair of Gary Hazlett runs for nine yards that drew the Cascade defense to the line of scrimmage. CASCADE WAS LOOKING for the run since South was obviously moving the football. The defense came charging right into the trap when Hazlett started on what appeared to be a tailback sweep. Instead, the senior pulled up and lofted a 14-yard pass to John Bridgewater for the second touchdown. Lewis hooked up with 6-4 Greg Phillips for the two-point conversion, giving the Eagles a 14-0 lead with 3:07 to play in the first quarter. The score remained their until the final 17 seconds of the ball game. Tony Wade intercepted two secondquarter Lewis passes to stop South drives, but in each case the Eagle defense rose to the challenge. Bridgewater and Darrin Lewis broke up Cadet passes following the first Wade pickoff to end the drive at South’s 40. WITH BACK-TO-BACK 16-yard runs by William Smith and Doug Stephenson, Cascade started a march after Wade’s second interception. This time Trent Thompson stuffed the Cadets for a twoyard loss, followed by two incomplete passes. Finally, Meek broke up a pass from Perry to Richard Waggle in the end zone, leaving the Eagles with a 14-0 halftime lead.

It appeared the Eagles were going to get on the scoreboard again on the opening possession of the second half. But they turned it over on down at Cascade’s 30. With the aid of a Bridgewater pass interception, South entered the final period with a 14-0 lead. It appeared that score would stand despite a penalty-fueled Cadet drive, and even more so when Meek ended it with South’s third pass interception of the night in the back of the end zone. SOUTH COULDN’T EAT up the final four minutes with its offense because Cascade used its timeouts between plays. So with 1:37 left the Cadets got the ball back one more time, Phillips’ 40 yard punt putting them on their own 18-yard line. South expected to find the ball flying somewhere in the curtain of fourth quarter rain and Darrin Lewis was the lucky winner. Lewis set up the final Eagle touchdown with a pass interception and fiveyard return to the Cadet 10. After Hazlett finished a 61-yard rushing night with a three yard pick up Lewis and Phillips hooked up for a seven-yard touchdown pass that set the final score. The twopoint conversion run attempt was short. THE NOW 2-2 EAGLES return to IHSAA Cluster play next Friday night, traveling to county rival Cloverdale.

The Mounties scored a first-quarter touchdown then got field goals in the second and fourth quarters to even their record at 2-2. “THE FIRST SERIES it seemed like it was going to be a long night. Then, as the night went on, we found out we could play with them,” coach Bruce Lake said of the third North Putnam loss of the year. North moved the football right from the start, but couldn’t score The Cougars took the opening kickoff and got a first down in three plays when Andy Woods pulled in an eight-yard Terry Judy pass But after the next snap. Southmont’s Kelly House intercept ed a Judy pass Starting from their own 40-yard line, the Mounties covered 60 yards in 13 plays Fullback Robert Turner ran the final three years for the touchdown and Dave Shireman kicked the PAT with 4:23 left in the first quarter. “ALL OF A SUDDEN the kids realized we could play with them,” Lake said. But Southmont went up 10-0 before the Cougars mounted a serious scoring drive. Running off-tackle and sprinkling in a pass or two, the Mounties drove to the Cougar 10, but were allowed no farther. They had to settle for a 25-yard Shireman field goal. North Putnam got two more shots at scoring in the first half as a result of fumble recoveries by Tony Bryan and Craig Asher. Bryan recovered the ball on Southmont’s 26 and Asher recovered at the North 45.

IN EACH CASE the Cougars got hurt by a lack of consistency in execution. “It hurt us in crucial downs,” Lake said. “In the first quarter we didn’t block that well, then it came around.” The Cougars trailed only 10-0 at halftime and put themselves in position to narrow the gap on the opening series of the second half. Led by A 1 Gray, the Cougars started running the football and marched to Southmont’s 10 before the Mounty defense and penalties stalled the offense. Although North Putnam’s complete game statistics were washed away by the rain, through three quarters Gray had 54 yards. “They had two men on him all night. They were watching him close. He’d break out of one tackle and there would be another waiting on him,” Lake said. AFTER THREE QUARTERS the Moun ties had hit North Putnam with their best shot and yet led only 10-0. ‘“We’re still in the ball game,’ we were telling the kids this,” Lake related. Twice in the fourth quarter the defense and punting team nailed Southmont deep in its own territory, but the Cougars could do nothing with the good field position. “The kids never gave up. We could have just rolled over,” Lake proudly related. With about four minutes remaining Shireman kicked a 20-yard field goal after North Putnam’s defense had once again denied Southmont a touchdown.
