Greencastle's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Cole Stephens, who threw for 390 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes, and also rushed for 31 yards and one score. Stephens is becoming a predictor of the Tiger Cubs' success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 5-2 (and 0-3 when he doesn't). Trevin Long was in the mix too, providing Greencastle with three TDs.
Greencastle didn't let much get past them through the air: they limited Brown County to a completion percentage of just 31.8%. The team can thank Long for the heroic effort on defense: he. That defensive display was nothing new: Greencastle has limited their opponent to a lower and lower completion percentage in three consecutive games.
Greencastle's defense didn't let Quentin Bell, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for five sacks. That dominant display was truly a team effort as five different players picked up one apiece. Another thorn in Brown County's side was Parker Welker, who picked up a sack and made 15 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Linton-Stockton). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat Mitchell 69-12. The final result isn't all that surprising considering the Miners' considerable advantage in MaxPreps' Indiana football rankings (they are ranked 90th, while the Bluejackets are ranked 299th).
The victory got Greencastle back to even at 5-5. As for Linton-Stockton, their record now sits at 7-3.
