Longtime Marion coach Surface calling it quits at end of season

Posted on 26 August 2006 by alexanderscot.

Mark
Surface, football coach of the Marion Giants for the past 22 seasons, has
announced that he is retiring from the position at the end of this season.
Surface in his 39th year as a head coach, compiling a career record of 249-133.
He is 149-81 in his tenure at Marion.

Surfaceâ??s
squads have won five North Central Conference titles and were 5A finalists in
both 1988 and 1990. His 22 seasons at the helm mark the longest tenure for a
football coach in the over 100-year history of Marion football.

Surface
announced his decision in front of players and parents at a team meal Thursday
evening in Marion.
He cited this yearâ??s senior class as one he would like to go out with. The
Giants opened the season with a 49-8 thrashing of Madison-Grant, and Surface
has been quoted several times as saying he believes this team has as much
offensive potential as any he has ever coached.

We at
Hoosier Authority wish him the best.

Friday Night Football: 4A Zionsville takes out Week 1 loss on 4A McCutcheon, 30-7

Posted on 26 August 2006 by alexanderscot.


By Jeff Washburn
Lafayette Journal and Courier

ZIONSVILLE â??? Zionsville’s shell-shocked football team
delivered an early knockout punch Aug. 25 at Eagles Field on its way to a
convincing 30-7 Hoosier Crossroads Conference victory against McCutcheon.

Having been manhandled 42-7 last week at Lafayette Jefferson,
Zionsville was eager to make amends â??? especially senior quarterback Tyler
Reimer. Reimer completed 15 of 22 passes for 276 yards and a pair of touchdowns
against the Mavericks (1-1).

On Zionsville’s first possession, Reimer converted a 3rd-and-7
with a 13-yard completion and a 3rd-and-21 with a 39-yard quarterback draw.
When Ryan Preuss capped the 90-yard, 10-play drive with a three-yard touchdown
run, the Eagles were on their way.

The Mavericks knew it.

“It’s tough when you have a team pinned,”
McCutcheon quarterback/defensive end Cody Bearden said. “We’ve got them
third and long, and they run a quarterback draw for 39 yards. We just couldn’t
match their emotion coming into the game.

“They were ready to play. They had been beaten badly
last week, and they weren’t going to let that happen again. We couldn’t play
with them in the first half.”

At halftime, Zionsville led 21-0 and had outgained
McCutcheon, 274-93. The Eagles averaged 9.8 yards each time they snapped the
ball.

Reimer threw a 13-yard TD pass to Collin Maher with 4.9
seconds remaining in the second quarter to essentially put the game out of
reach.

McCutcheon trailed 30-0 when Bearden scored on a two-yard
run with 3:55 remaining in the third quarter. Keaton Bell rushed 18 times for
100 yards to lead the McCutcheon attack, but the Mavericks never captured the
momentum.

“They were ready,” Bearden said. “They
definitely were not going to let that (42-7 loss) happen again. We did some
good things, but we didn’t do enough good things. We would start marching, and
then a small mistake would set us back.”

That’s exactly what McCutcheon coach Kevin O’Shea saw.

“On that first drive, twice on third down, they
converted real long situations,” O’Shea said. “We let them out.
Reimer made a great play on that 39-yard run. We had him wrapped up, and he
broke it.

“What it all came down to tonight was that they made
the plays to win, and we didn’t.”

Friday Night Football: 5A Lafayette Jeff destroys 4A neighbor Harrison, 58-0

Posted on 26 August 2006 by alexanderscot.


By Nathan Baird
Lafayette Journal and Courier

LAFAYETTE â??? It only makes sense that
Lafayette Jefferson’s defense has performed so well to open the season. After
all, the Broncho defenders face their own prolific offense every day in
practice.

Lafayette Jeff’s offense totaled 522 yards Aug. 25, and
the Broncho defense held another opponent without an offensive touchdown in a
58-0 victory over visiting Harrison (West
Lafayette) at Scheumann Stadium.

“In practice, they go against the No. 1 â??O,â?? and we
always score against them,” said Broncho receiver Mike Sewell, who caught
a touchdown pass and ran for another score. “And every time we do, we make
them run laps and do all kinds of up-downs. They really get their conditioning
in during practice.”

Matt Vlahogeorge rushed for 163 yards and three touchdowns
in the first half as the Bronchos (2-0, 2-0 Hoosier Crossroads Conference)
built a 35-0 lead. Defensive back Cory Perrin sealed the rout by returning the
first two interceptions of his varsity career for touchdowns in a one-minute
span of the third quarter.

The Bronchos also did not allow an offensive touchdown in
a 42-7 season-opening victory last week over Zionsville.

“We’re going in confident, but our heads aren’t too
big,” Perrin said. “We still know we’ve got to do what we’ve got to
do and play hard every down.”

Harrison (0-2, 0-2) managed just three
first downs before halftime. Consecutive passes from Brandan Alford to Corey Shandrick
early in the second quarter accounted for 57 of the Raiders’ 88 first-half
yards.

“This team’s not going to give up,” Harrison coach Jeromy Flowers said. “We’ll bounce
back from this.”

Friday Night Football: 4A No. 9 Roncalli runs over 5A Franklin Central, 21-14

Posted on 26 August 2006 by alexanderscot.


By Greg Seiter
Contributing Writer

INDIANAPOLIS â??? Longtime Roncalli coach Bruce Scifres
entrusted the Rebelsâ?? traditional powerhouse running game to a sophomore Aug.
25 at Franklin Central, and the 6â??2â?, 176-pounder didn’t disappoint.

Following a 162-yard first-half performance by junior
running back Dan Bohn, second-year player Ben Polizzi carried the ball 16 times
for 76 yards during the third and fourth quarters against an undersized Flashes
squad as Class 4A ninth-ranked Roncalli improved to 1-1 with a 21-14 victory, its
third consecutive win against Franklin Central (0-2).

After a disappointing 13-3 road loss to Center Grove last
week in which the defending Class 4A runner-up attempted an uncharacteristic 21
passes, Roncalli effectively re-established its ground attack Friday while
preventing a determined Flashes squad from doing the same. The Rebels amassed
270 rushing yards overall while limiting Franklin Central to just 125.

“I’m very proud of our guys up front,” Scifres
said. “Franklin Central plays a very aggressive style of defense that has
the potential to create chaos. Our guys did a good job of picking up blocks and
creating holes.”

Bohn, who started the game for Roncalli in place of senior
running back Kirk Cahill, ran the ball only three times in the second half
following 20 first-half carries. Cahill missed the Franklin Central game after
suffering back spasms last week.

But Cahill wasn’t the only starter who didn’t play against
the Flashes. In fact, Scifres indicated that eight listed starters missed this
contest because of injuries.

“We only returned six starters from last year’s team,
and just three of them are playing right now,” Scifres said. “I can’t
remember starting a season with a team as beat up as we are, but we definitely
had kids step up tonight.”

While Roncalli’s offense returned to form, its defense also
played admirably against 5A Franklin
Central.

The Flashes managed just 182 offensive yards, including 57
through the air. Additionally, the Rebels forced three Franklin Central
turnovers.

Roncalli took the opening kick and marched 76 yards in nine
plays â??? all on the ground â??? for an early lead as senior Paul Corsaro plunged
one yard for a touchdown following eight consecutive carries by Bohn.

A second-quarter interception by FC senior defensive back
Josh Snyder set up a 51-yard scoring pass from quarterback Nick Sharp to senior
receiver Ray Taylor with 9:21 left on the clock. But the Rebels answered with a
63-yard scoring drive that culminated in a five-yard touchdown pass from
Corsaro to senior running back Chris Jacobs.

A costly fumble by Sharp led to a two-yard Rebels’ scoring
run by Bohn with 1:47 left before the half. But on Franklin Central’s next possession,
junior running back Darius Willis scored on a 3rd-and-8 run from 64 yards
out that pulled the Flashes within seven points at the break, 21-14.

That Willis run, however, accounted for the game’s final
points.

The transfer from Indianapolis
Howe Academy
led the Franklin Central ground attack with 119 yards on 23 carries, while Sharp
completed just 2 of 9 passes for 57 yards.

Roncalliâ??s aerial attack did not fare any better. Aside from
throwing for only 12 yards on 2-of-5 accuracy with a pair of interceptions,
Corsaro ran the ball eight times for 23 yards.

“We came into this game planning to run the ball a
lot,” Scifres said. “In high school football in the state of Indiana, when you’re
able to run the ball effectively, you keep on doing it.”

The Rebels, who are 10-3 against Franklin Central since
1994, are back in action Sept. 1 for their first home game of the season when
they host Indianapolis Chatard at 7 p.m. EDT Franklin
Central, meanwhile, opens Conference Indiana
play next Friday with a 7 p.m. road contest against Bloomington South.

a part of each othersâ?? lives for many years are now in separate cheer blocks â??? even
though they may live next door to one another.

Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern had been one school
since 1967, when they consolidated into Hamilton Southeastern. Until then, the
Fishers Tigers were a rival of the Hamilton Southeastern Royals. Now that the 2006-07
school year has begun, that 39-year gap has once again closed.

At Royals Stadium, the split served as an end and a
beginning for the two Hamilton
County teams. Behind a
stealth rushing attack that piled up 320 yards, including 202 on 15 carries by
Marcus Spann, defending Class 5A state runner-up Southeastern proved itâ??s
deserving of its No. 4 ranking with a 42-6 thumping of neighboring Fishers.

The Royals had mixed feelings about the win. They have,
after all, grown up playing on the same teams as the Tigers, and vice versa.

â??Itâ??s gonna be a rivalry for years to come now,â? said
Spann, a senior. â??We were all friends before, and now weâ??re divided.â?

The Royals took the ball 73 yards for their first score of
the night, capping off the opening drive with a 39-yard touchdown pass from
Josh Powers to twin brother Nate Powers. Sophomore Michael Stollmeyer booted
the PAT through, making it 7-0.

After forcing Fishers to punt for the second straight
possession, Southeastern got a nice run through the Tiger defense from 31 yards
out. The extra point bumped it up to 14-0, and the rout was on.

Another Fishers punt deep in its own territory created
great field position for the Royals. A 23-yard pickup by Spann moved it down to
the Tiger 12 before Brandon Kiel (the Royals alternate between a twin and the
son of former Columbus East and Notre Dame standout QB Blair Kiel) dumped a
pass over the middle to receiver Josh Arnold for a 12-yard score. Stollmeyerâ??s
kick failed, so the score stood at 20-0 Royal.

In the second stanza, Southeastern capitalized on two more
scoring opportunities, the first a five-yard pass from Kiel to Nate Powers (and two-point conversion
run by Spann) and the second a 15-yard run up the gut by fullback Mitchell
Armstrong. The Tiger crowd was pretty quiet as the teams went into halftime at
35-zip.

In the second half, Josh Powers returned a Fishers punt to
the Tiger 38 to set up the Royalsâ?? last score â??? a Josh Powers-to-Spann screen
pass that found paydirt from 23 yards out.

With reserves in the rest of the way for Southeastern,
Fishers played smart and kept the starters in the game, knowing that they were
fully capable of putting some points on the board in this reinstated rivalry. Quarterback
Zach Hoke led the Tigers on an 80-yard drive as running backs Nico Walker and
Zach Wallace rolled up some yardage to go along with Hokeâ??s 48 yards of
passing.

The Tigers finally got on the board when Hoke connected
with junior receiver Joel Kinsey through the middle from 21 yards out. In a
fitting conclusion to the Tigersâ?? tough night, the kick failed.

â??Iâ??m glad the hype is finally over,â? Southeastern coach
Rob Cutter said as his team celebrated its 2-0 start to the young season. â??Goal
number one is to win the conference championship, and this is one step closer
to that.�

This night â??? the so called â??Rumble in the Jungleâ? â??? will
always be remembered as the night that the town of Fishers was split in half. Southeastern may
have all the seniors, but Fishers is full of underclassmen who might be turning
some heads the next couple years.

This rivalry is just getting started.

Friday Night Football: 4A No. 2 Columbus East makes it three in a row over rival 5A No. 15 North, 15-13

Posted on 26 August 2006 by alexanderscot.


By Bubba Harnist
Staff Writer

COLUMBUS â??? The gash on the chin of Columbus
East senior quarterback Drew Kiel wasnâ??t pretty. Despite the cut and a sore
knee from a relentless Columbus North defense, however, Kiel was feeling pretty good Aug. 25 after
his team had knocked off rival North, 15-13.

The win
was the third in a row for the Olympians over the Bull Dogs.

â??It (the
win) feels great,� said Kiel,
who threw for 258 yards and one touchdown. â??I canâ??t explain the feeling right
now.

â??I have a
little gash under my chin and a little knee injury, which hopefully isnâ??t too
bad. Right now itâ??s just really emotional. It feels really good to get another
win against Columbus North.�

The
Olympians went to work on their second possession, taking over at their own 26-yard
line after a North punt. From there, Kiel
marched them down the field, capping the eight-play drive with a 20-yard
touchdown pass to senior Josh Burris. A high snap foiled the extra point, so
East led 6-0 with 1:55 left in the first quarter.

While the
East offense was able to find the end zone, the North offense was struggling,
getting only one first down in the first quarter.

â??I thought
our defense played hard against the run,â? said Columbus East coach Bob Gaddis. â??North
has a good offensive line and good running back. I thought our defense stood in
there very well.�

With the O
defense doing its part, it was time for the offense to reciprocate. The next
score for East came on its last possession of the half. Starting at the North
25 after an interception by Zach Burbrink, it took East five plays to find
paydirt.

The key
play of the drive came on 4th-and-13 from the 28 when Kiel hit senior Jordan
Bunch for a 27-yard pass that got the ball to the 1. Junior Cory McGrady ran it
in on the next play but the two-point conversion failed, giving East a 12-0
lead just ahead of the half.

North
responded â??? itâ??s what teams do in huge rivalry games. With only 33 seconds
left, North got the ball back at its own 38 and went to work. A pass
interference call with :08 to go set up 1st and 10 at the East 22. On
the next play, North junior quarterback Mike Hladik connected with senior
Brandon Butler for a touchdown pass with only 2.2 seconds left.

Fittingly,
the extra point was blocked, so intermission came with East leading 12-6.

The
Olympians regained control on the second play of their second possession when Kiel hit senior Eric
Grider with a 26-yard pass to move into North territory. Two plays later, a
38-yard pass to senior Jordan Bunch got East into the red zone.

â??We knew
we were going to have to air it out to win the football game,â? Gaddis said. â??That
was our game plan going in. Drew made some good throws, and we had some kids
make some good catches.

â??Drew is
just a heck of a competitor. I donâ??t think there was any way he was going to
come out of this game. He is beat up and will be pretty sore tomorrow.�

The drive
stalled, however, and East settled for a 25-yard field goal from senior Cameron
Stone to go up 15-6.

After
exchanging possessions, North got the ball back at its own 25 with 10.9 seconds
left in the third. On the driveâ??s eighth play, Hladik scrambled to his left and
lofted a pass to an open Dustin Michael in the end zone. And a good thing
suddenly turned bad.

The throw
was short, and the Bull Dogs had to settle for a 43-yard field goal. But the
kick was blocked, and North had blown a golden shot to get back in the game with
just 8:03 to go.

Although East
was forced to punt on its next possession, the Oâ??s were successful in eating up
nearly four minutes of clock.

After a
nice punt return, North took over at the East 43 with 4:17 left. After a
questionable pass interference call, North junior Keaton Shoultz fumbled on the
next play. East sophomore Andrew Brougher recovered, sealing the deal for the
Olympians.

All that
remained was a North 15-yard touchdown pass from Hladik to Butler with 24.4 seconds left, the
extra-point kick making the final 15-13. After a failed onside kick, Kiel took a knee, and
East had its third straight victory over rival North.

â??Defense
was the key tonight,â? Gaddis said. â??I donâ??t know how many yards their tailback
had, but I thought we did a good job containing him. I thought the defense set
the tone.

â??We kind
of fell back a couple times, but we made them earn everything in the running
game. I couldnâ??t be more proud of our effort.â?

Kiel added that the Olympiansâ?? defense
â??made huge plays down the stretch. Whenever North got into our territory, our
defense just held and did great.�

Itâ??s now
on to conference play for both these teams in Week 3.

Columbus
North opens Conference Indiana
play when they travel to Bloomington North Sept. 1 to take on the Cougars. Columbus
East opens Hoosier Hills conference play next week with a home game against Seymour, which knocked
off the Olympians in the sectional opener last year and ended their perfect
season.

â??I can
tell you there are a lot of good teams in our conference,â? Gaddis said. â??Its
going to take this kind of emotional effort like we got tonight to win our
league, because everyone is going to be gunning for us.�

NOTE: How big is the Seymour-Columbus
East game? By HoosierAuthority.com standards, itâ??s very big â??? so big that weâ??re sending our Fan Wagon and plenty of
staff next Friday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m., so if youâ??re in the area, swing
by and visit us at the RV!

Hoosier Authority ‘road show’ is a big hit at Carmel

The
Hoosier Authority Fan Wagon rolled into Carmel Aug. 25 to present the
Greyhounds with the 1st Annual All-Sports Trophy. It was met by a host
of friends, both old and new.

There is an interesting phenomenon at Carmel. On Friday game
nights, the administration lets students move their cars to the
home-side parking lot immediately after school. That means a large
number of students simply stay from the time school is let out until
game time. By the time we arrived they were ready for some fun, and
WagonMan Josh Ember — we call him â??Big Sexyâ? — was just the guy to
get the party started.

The administration welcomed us with open arms. We know that
because they located the Fan Wagon right next to Bubâ??s Burgers. Trust
me when I tell you that these might be the best burgers in the world. I
guarantee they are the best in high school football.

Hamilton
Heights was a worthy but outmanned opponent on this night. Carmel
parlayed a devastating running attack and two interceptions into a 24-0
halftime lead. It never hurts; it turns out, to have the home crowd in
a good mood when you are making a presentation to them. It also doesnâ??t
hurt when we show up with the Hoosier Authority bazooka to shoot some
commemorative T-shirts into the stands.

Hey, we arenâ??t above a little bribery. It all combined for a great
halftime presentation of the trophy to a very deserving winner.

Next
week, the Fan Wagon is off to Columbus for a stop at the
Seymour-Columbus East game. (Meanwhile, Josh is thinking that maybe a
statue outside Carmel Stadium to remember his appearance is in order.)
If you would like the Hoosier Authority Fan Wagon to show up at your school, e-mail us why you think it would be a good stop, and maybe the festivities will be heading your way â?¦

Friday Night Football: Mossbrucker's magnificent night leads 4A No. 14 Mooresville over 4A Lebanon, 30-20

Posted on 26 August 2006 by alexanderscot.


By E. Shawn Aylsworth
Managing Editor



LEBANON â??? â??It was a team effort â??? we donâ??t rely on just one guy.â?



Those were the words Mooresville coach Mark Bless addressed his Class 4A No. 14 Pioneers with Aug. 25 following their 30-20 victory at 4A No. 18 Lebanon. This just in: If the 12th-year mentor ever changes his mind, heâ??s got the one guy to do it.



The player in question is 6-foot do-everything quarterback Trent Mossbrucker. Hereâ??s the hit list of daggers that he unleashed upon the unsuspecting host Tigers:




  • 211 yards passing
  • Three touchdown passes
  • One improvised quarterback sneak up the middle for a 29-yard touchdown that sealed the game
  • Six kickoffs, five of which went for touchdowns
  • A career-best 49-yard field goal
  • A gorgeous pass on a 4th-and-21 fake punt that went for 36 yards and reversed Lebanonâ??s first-half momentum


Did we mention that Mossbrucker plays safety, too? Rumors that he sold popcorn at halftime while leading the marching band and signing autographs for shocked-and-awed Lebanon fans, unfortunately, went unsubstantiated.



Mooresville (2-0) needed every bit of Mossbruckerâ??s heroics to foil a Lebanon rushing attack that rolled to 312 yards on the ground. The key â??? aside from the human highlight reel â??? was a 2-to-1 advantage in time of possession.



â??They have an explosive offense with some size up front, so we wanted to keep them off the field,â? Bless said.



Mission accomplished. After spotting the hosts a 14-3 lead with four minutes go before the half, Mooresville rolled up 30 unanswered points to take a commanding 30-14 lead after Mossbruckerâ??s jaunt up the middle with 9:28 remaining in the game.



Still, Lebanon was able to cut the lead back to 10 in just five plays, taking a mere 2:10 off the clock before 5â??9â? senior running back Eli Smith (14 carries, 148 yards, three rushing touchdowns) scored on an eight-yard run. But the Tigers chose not to try an onside kick, and by the time Mooresville had converted 3rd-and-1 and 4th-and-1 opportunities into first downs before finally turning the ball over on downs, it was too late.



â??We got outplayed at home last year (in a 24-23 overtime loss to Lebanon),â? said Bless. â??We wanted to play field position, and our offensive line did a good job.â?



MORE TO COME â?¦
