It's a three-team race for the Hoosier Heritage Conference title after New Palestine broke the 40-point barrier for the third straight week in a victory over Shelbyville and Greenfield-Central posted a thrilling 6-0 OT victory over Mt. Vernon. In addition, Pendleton Heights gave head coach John Broughton his 200th career victory in a 31-7 victory over Yorktown.
Let's look back at the Friday night of football:
Greenfield-Central 6, Mt. Vernon 0, OT: The game we had for you last night. An incredible defensive game in which the Cougars' Derek Conley nabbed two interceptions in regulation, then ran in the game's only score from three yards out in OT to give the Cougars a victory and keep them in second place in the HHC. Brant Boles had an interception on MV's OT possession and also blocked a field goal earlier in the game. Conley (62 yards) was the game's leading rusher, as well. G-C now hosts New Palestine next Friday with the HHC title on the line. G-C is now 5-2/4-1 in the HHC. MV is 5-2/3-2.

The Dragon defense forced four turnovers and the offense turned three into touchdowns. Simmons had radar-like 14-of-15 accuracy, and has thrown for 200+ yards now in all of the Dragons' seven games. 4A No. 1 NP is now 7-0 and 5-0 in the HHC. Shelby is 1-6/1-4.
