An interesting night in the HHC. Pendleton Heights makes a big statement. New Palestine flexes its muscles and claims sole possession of first place. And Yorktown picks Delta off four times in an upset.
Here's a look back in our weekly Saturday Morning QB roundup:
Pendleton Heights 38, Mt. Vernon 6: The Arabians doubled up No. 10 MV in yardage, but turned the game late in the first half with 14 points in the last 2:06. An interception deep in Arabian territory by Chandler Wilson turned into a touchdown, then QB Mitch Patishall threw deep to Jacob Lyons on the final play of the half. Lyons had a rushing and receiving TD, Jon Furrow had two rushing TDs, both had 100 yards on the ground and Patishall threw for 134 yards and two scores. PH has now scored at least 38 points in all four of its wins, and is in a second-place tie with Mt. Vernon and Greenfield-Central at 2-1 in the HHC. Both teams are 4-1. MV plays at Shelbyville next week in our Hancock County Game of the Week broadcast.

New Palestine 53, Rushville 0: The Dragons, ranked No. 4 (AP) and No. 7 (IFCA) in Class 4A, showed why Friday night. NP scored 40 first-half points and Connor Simmons threw five touchdown passes. Matt Siergiej and Austin Monday rushed for a combined 200 yards, with Monday scoring twice and Siergiej totaling 105 yards and scoring once. Simmons was 8-of-11 for 297 yards and threw two TDs each to Josh Penley (66 & 1 yards) and Brandon Collins (28 & 16 yards) and an 85-yard TD pass to Tyler Walden. NP is now 5-0/3-0.

Greenfield-Central 36, Shelbyville 13: The Cougars' Matt Dickerson scored two early TDs on returns -- one on the opening kickoff, another on an interception -- to lead the Cougars early in what would become a rout. G-C had three touchdowns on returns, as Dickerson's blocked punt led to a TD by Jeremiah Wray late in the game. The Cougars forced five turnovers.

Knightstown 20, Eastern Hancock 14: A late TD pass by Logan Gilbert brought the Royals close, then a blocked punt gave them a chance to win. But the Panthers forced a fumble and held on to beat EH and retain possession of the Plow Share and Anvil Trophy. Knightstown's Wing-T offense gained 361 rushing yards. Gilbert threw two TD passes for EH, which has dropped two close games in a row and is now 1-4. Knightstown -- in its first year under the tutelage of Mt. Vernon graduate Patrick Mallory -- is 3-2.

And in the HHC:
Yorktown 28, Delta 14: Yorktown intercepted Delta QB Ozzie Mann four times and turned two of those picks into scores in an HHC upset. It was the Tigers' first victory over Delta in five years. Yorktown also had big plays on offense -- a 64-yard TD from Chandler Carroll, a 46-yard wide receiver pass to Jason Brown and an 86-yard TD run by Brendon Barnes to ice the game.
