#Gameday Rocks vs Tigers

Tonight, your Rocks will host the Fishers Tigers at beautiful Riverview Health Stadium. Fishers comes into the game with a 5-2 record (3-2 HCC). In conference play, they have defeated Noblesville, HSE, and Franklin Central, while losing to Brownsburg and Avon.

The Tigers average 23 points per game on 286 yards (148 ground). There are led by Dylan Scally (#20) who has put up 545 yards and 4 touchdowns on 121 carries. QB Marcus Roux (#12) has added another 184 yards and 4 touchdowns on 49 carries, while passing for 939 yards and 12 touchdowns. Roux's favorite target is Jeffrey Simmons (#86), who has notched 279 yards and 5 touchdowns on 21 receptions.

The Tigers are generally one of the most technically sound teams the Rocks face each year. They will need to execute cleanly on both sides of the ball to earn the victory tonight. Rain is in the weather, so if it ends up being particularly wet, both teams could see a dampened passing game. This would tend to play into the hands of the Tigers, who typically pound the ball and control the time of possession. The Rocks will need to excel in their own running attack, while stopping the run on defense.

No directions needed for this one. Bring a poncho or an umbrella, and come cheer your Rocks on! Kickoff is set for 7pm.
