#RockReport - Fishers

Varsity Football put on one heck of a show Saturday night in Lucas Oil Stadium. The Rocks faced the always tough Fishers Tigers, fighting all the way through regulation and into three overtimes before falling to Fishers 48-45.

Offensively, the Shamrocks were dominant all night, driving the ball at will on the Tigers. Nick Ferrer and Devin Reece combined as the spearhead of the Rock aerial attack. The ground game remained consistent on the legs of Elvin Caldwell and behind the blocking of Anthoney Daugherty. Cole McCrary turned in a highlight performance as well.

The Rock Defense gave great effort against one of the highest scoring offenses in the conference. Luke Peters was everywhere on the field, recovering fumbles, making tackles, and intercepting passes. Keyonte Crawford had a huge play late in the game, forcing a fumble to save the Shamrock advantage.

Shamrock Special Teams got the ball rolling early with a forced fumble by Luke Peters. Wes Gagnon recovered and nearly returned it for a touchdown, setting up the Rock O for an easy score. Matt Crupi was consistent all night on the special teams, which kept one of the most explosive returners the Shamrocks will face all season from scoring in this phase of the game.

Special mention should be given to Will McCool, Colton Murphy, and Zach Patterson. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They kept the focus throughout the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

Resolve to support Rocks Football next Friday, when Westfield will travel to Brownsburg to face the Bulldogs. Kickoff is at 7:00pm.
The Rock Helmet travels well...
