Two Hancock County teams remain -- and they play each other next week. New Palestine and Greenfield-Central both boasted impressive second halves to win sectional openers. In the HHC, seven of the eight teams are left standing -- with the only one to be defeated so far, Mt. Vernon, being eliminated by a fellow HHC squad. Here's a look at Hancock County and HHC action from Week 1 of the IHSAA tournament.
Hancock County sectionals
Sectional 13
New Palestine 51, Anderson 21: Austin Cahoy runs for 46 yards and two TDs, Matt Siergiej runs for 78 yards and a TD, and Connor Simmons throws for 93 yards and two TDs and ran for one more in the Dragons' victory. It was costly, as players from both teams were ejected during a third-quarter melee started by the Indians after a Dragon touchdown. The 9-1 Dragons play at Greenfield-Central next week in the HancockCountySports.com Game of the Week broadcast.
