Saturday evening QB

Usually, we have Saturday Morning QB bright and early for you. But some extenuating circumstances have turned it into Saturday Evening QB.

New Palestine 34, Pendleton Heights 21: In the game we broadcast, New Palestine's offense poured it on, with Connor Simmons throwing for 280+ yards and receivers Josh Penley and Brandon Collins both breaking the century mark and combining for 5 TD receptions. The Arabians also put up 300+ yards, but NP's defense was strong in its own end and produced three interceptions. NP's Tim Able still wants a bit more balance. PH notes an inadvertent whistle changes the game in the closing minutes, wiping off a touchdown. The end result is the Dragons are 3-0 heading into a matchup with Delta, which we'll have for you at 11:30 a.m. Saturday on HancockCountySports.com. PH is 2-1 (0-1)
