ORDER OF RIDDLE SCHOOL GAME CRACK

Greenwood’s defense has fared reasonably well in its first three games, but this will be its toughest challenge to date. Patterson, perhaps the state’s top quarterback, leads a group that has scored exactly 38 points in each of its first three games.

What to look for: The same explosive Pioneer offense we’ve seen the past few years. Players to watch: Greenwood - QB Brock Riddle, TE Carter Campbell, WR Ethan Pringle, LB Scott Raker, DB Joshua Amburgy Mooresville - QB Nick Patterson, WR Hogan Denny, WR Levi Dorn, LB Landon Clements, LB Kellen Copeland Sagarin ratings: Greenwood 61.23 (94th), Mooresville 87.35 (15th) Recent history: The Pioneers have won five in a row over the Woodmen, including a 70-14 romp in Greenwood last fall. With playmakers on both sides of the ball, this Giants team is capable of pulling out a win will the Trojans have enough in the tank to survive the last stop on the always-brutal gauntlet that is Weeks 1-4? 1 Brownsburg and followed up with lopsided road wins over Avon (44-13) and Pike (38-0). Ben Davis opened the season with a close five-point loss against new No. What to look for: The Giants haven’t had much success against the Trojans in recent years, but they’ve got to be about as confident going into this one as they’ve been in a while - and not just because Center Grove finally showed signs of mortality with its 30-game win streak coming to an end in Louisville last week. Players to watch: Center Grove - QB Tyler Cherry, RB Micah Coyle, WR Noah Coy, LB Owen Bright, DB Parker Doyle Ben Davis - QB Thomas Gotkowski, RB Alijah Price, WR Marques Reese, DL Chris Green, LB Nylan Brown

Sagarin ratings: Center Grove 92.76 (eighth), Ben Davis 103.75 (second) Recent history: The Trojans have taken the last seven meetings between the two state powers, most recently a 45-6 shellacking in last year’s Class 6A semistate. Who will step up as the hero in this one? Pinnick, a much improved passer, has flexed his dual-threat capabilities in different ways each week Moore-Smith is emerging as a big-time playmaker on both sides of the ball for the Warriors.

Both defenses have been tough to crack and have shown a penchant for big plays, but tonight might offer the toughest challenge of the season for both units. 4 Grizzly Cubs, who already have as many wins as they did a year ago, view this as another chance to stick it to their longtime rivals while likewise establishing themselves as a bona fide contender. 1 in Class 5A for the first time and see themselves as a legitimate threat to go all the way the No. What to look for: The stakes have likely never been higher, at least in the regular season, in this series.

Players to watch: Franklin - QB Clay Pinnick, RB/LB John Shepard, WR Luke Bechert, OL/DL Reece Byerly, DB Beau Baker Whiteland - QB Kevin Denham, RB Peyton Emberton, RB/LB Jakarrey Oliver, RB/DB Nyrius Moore-Smith, WR/DB Brady Stanifer Sagarin ratings: Franklin 87.99 (13th in Indiana), Whiteland 87.75 (14th)

Recent history: The Grizzly Cubs’ 35-21 home win last year was its second in three tries after the Warriors had taken 22 in a row from 2004-18.
