Fisher Made His Presence Known in Evansville Memorial's 35-12 Victory
Evansville Memorial picked up their eighth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Matthew Fisher. Fisher did his part (and then some), throwing for 289 yards and five touchdowns while completing 77.8% of his passes for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for three or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season.
Evansville Memorial's win was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Fisher and Evansville Memorial will face off against Castle at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Max Mccool's Big Game Leads Castle over Evansville Central
Max Mccool's big game helped extend Castle's winning streak to six on Friday. Mccool turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 112 yards and three touchdowns on only nine carries. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his seventh straight game with at least 112 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If the past is any indication, Mccool could be in store for another big game when he takes on Evansville Memorial on Friday. When Mccool last faced the Tigers back in October of 2023, he rushed for 121 yards on only ten carries.
