Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Westfield proved: they limited Fishers to a paltry 3.2 yards per carry. While two picked up at least seven total tackles, Zane Newman stood above the rest. He picked up two sacks and made seven total tackles. Westfield didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged six.
Westfield's defense didn't let Gage Sturgill, get away unscathed either: they got into the backfield for three sacks. Newman was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two himself. He also set a new season-high mark in total tackles with seven.
Meanwhile, Carroll faced Penn in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Friday. The Chargers walked away with a 42-30 win over the Kingsmen. 42 seems to be a good number for the Chargers as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of points in their previous game.
