Austin Cruz Delivers Best Effort of Season
Sadly, Austin Cruz posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Greensburg over Batesville on Friday. Cruz rushed for 201 yards and a touchdown while picking up 9.6 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. His longest rush was for an incredible 70 yards.
Greensburg is on a 17-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7. They and East Central are set to duel on Friday.

A Season-Best Performance from Gage Pohlman Leads Batesville over Greensburg
Gage Pohlman produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Batesville to the win on Friday. Pohlman rushed for 65 yards and three touchdowns on only seven carries, and also picked up 34 receiving yards.
If history really does repeat itself, Pohlman might just drop another big game when he faces off against Franklin County on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Pohlman saw the Wildcats), he picked up 137 receiving yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown on only eight carries.
