The Fountain Central Mustangs will challenge the Crawfordsville Athenians at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Fountain Central is leaving town to face Crawfordsville after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Fountain Central took a blow against Southmont on Friday, falling 42-14. The Mustangs were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 42-7.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Eli Foxworthy, who rushed for 118 yards on only 15 carries, and also threw for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Crawfordsville had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They came out on top against Parke Heritage by a score of 14-6.
Mason Mccarty was a one-man wrecking crew for Crawfordsville as he rushed for 160 yards and two touchdowns on only 14 carries. Mccarty's longest rush was for an incredible 88 yards. Crawfordsville also got a significant boost from Braeden Hites, who ran away from the competition to the tune of 84 yards.
Hites wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Crawfordsville was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 336 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Parke Heritage only rushed for 141.
Crawfordsville didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off three passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Cohen McClamroch and Daniel Surface.
Fountain Central strolled past Crawfordsville in their previous meeting back in August of 2023 by a score of 28-12. The rematch might be a little tougher for Fountain Central since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
