Tonight, your Rocks will host the Hamilton Southeastern Royals. Both teams come into the contest at 3-1 (2-0 HCC). HSE has beaten Fishers and Avon in the first two weeks of conference play. Their lone loss was to North Central by 1 point in Week 2.
The Royals are averaging 21 points on 232 yards per game (130 rushing). They are led by senior QB John McCall (#18). He's posted a 35-409-4 passing stat line, completing 67% of his attempts. He's also tacked on a 35-183-2 rushing line. In the run game, junior Blaine Wertz (#20) has added 54-238-4 in his own right, giving the Royals a potent 1-2 punch. Junior Martice Taylor (#80) is McCall's favorite passing target, with a 11-180-2 stat line. On defense, the Royals boast a pair of talented sophomores in Evan Sherill (#92; averaging 2 sacks per game) and Cole Earlewine (#8; 5.7 tackles per game).
HSE is currently ranked #8 in the 6A AP poll, so the Rocks will have their work cut out for them tonight. The Rock D will need to find a way to bottle the dynamic running offense of the Royals, caging a QB who has given fits to opponents in previous weeks. The Shamrock offense will need to protect their own QB from Royal pressure, and make use of their own electric scorers.
Ticket limiting is still in effect, and we will be sharing the streaming link shortly. Hope to have your support whether in-person or on the Internet. Kickoff is set for 7pm.
