#Gameday Westfield vs Harrison

Tonight, your Rocks will face the Raiders of William Henry Harrison High School. The Raiders will be making the long, somewhat arduous journey (depending on the status of I65), to beautiful Riverview Health Stadium. We will be celebrating both the home opener and senior night tonight, so it should be a pretty great environment.

Harrison finished 6-6 last year, winning their 5A sectional. They were knocked out by eventual 5A state champion New Palestine. Since this is the first game, we can't really share any statistical leaders, but this is a Raider team that looks to have loaded up on speed in the offseason. Maxpreps has them ranked as the #11 5A team in the state right. Look for contributions from returning fullback Omarion Dixon (#47) and wide receiver Zion King (#87) on the offensive side, as well as linebacker Quinton Wood (#20) on the defensive side.

It will need to be a team effort from the Raiders tonight, as Westfield has beaten Harrison each of the last 11 times they've faced off. Still, don't sleep on this talented team out of Lafayette, and come out to cheer on your Rocks tonight. Kickoff is set for 7pm.
