HHC Week 9

Mt. Vernon (5-3/4-2) at New Palestine (7-1/6-0) LIVE BROADCAST
The HHC title, the Helmet and the Boundary Rail are all on the line for the Dragons as they host Mt. Vernon. NP's varsity defense hasn't allowed a point since Week 5 against Rushville. MV has an explosive offense, but has scored only once in two weeks against some pretty good defenses from Greenfield-Central and Delta. This game is strength-on-strength: NP runs it very well with Cahoy and Siergiej, but MV loves to blitz and has a solid front seven and an outstanding d-line. MV's Austin Parker is the school's all-time leading passer and he can sling it, but NP has a tremendous secondary. NP can win the HHC title outright with a victory.

Delta (7-1/5-1) at Shelbyville (3-5/2-4)
The Eagles are playing some great football, culminating with last week's 35-0 thumping of Mt. Vernon. Mann is throwing it well and Overfield had a 120-yard game last week. Delta's D has allowed seven points the last two weeks. Shelby's Patrick Ellis went for 290 last week, but it was against a Yorktown defense that has struggled. Delta clinches a tie for the HHC title if it and Mt. Vernon win. We'll be monitoring WSVX at New Pal, and I'm certain they'll probably be listening to our broadcast on the smartphones in the Delta stands.

Rushville (2-6/0-6) at Yorktown (1-7/0-6)
Eighth place in the HHC is up for grabs this week. Both will be hungry for a pre-sectional win.

Out of conference (should both teams win, the HHC would tie the Duneland Conference for the best collective non-conference record in the state. HHC teams are currently 10-4; DAC teams are 12-4 outside of league play).

Chatard (4-4) at Greenfield-Central (5-3/4-3)
G-C has a tough closing stretch, and had a difficult game against NP last week. Chatard plays a very similar game, so this could be a good sectional tune-up for the Cougars.

Fort Wayne Concordia (0-8) at Pendleton Heights (5-3/4-3)
The Arabians have an outstanding offense, with Dezmon Nunn running all over the place. The Cadets are giving up 46 points a game.
