Braylen Townsend Turns in Season-Best Performance
On Friday, Bloomington South had to settle for second even though Braylen Townsend put up the best numbers he has all season.

Terre Haute North Vigo has been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 2-6 record this season.

Bloomington North Gets a Boost from King in 35-34 Defeat

Gino Prescott Makes It Two for Columbus North
