Midland Rail Video
A good handful of stuff has come across my desk today, so I'll be sharing in multiple postings. First, we were pointed to some pretty awesome video footage of the varsity game against Noblesville. It sort of functions as a quick recap of the game with a sweet instrumental laid over top. Definitely give it a watch:

#RockReport - Sectional Championship
Rocks Varsity Football hosted the Lafayette Jefferson Bronchos, earning a 45-27 victory and claiming the Sectional 11 Championship.
On offense, the Rocks were led by Ryan Pepiot. The O-line provided consistent protection throughout the night, allowing Pepiot to pick apart the Broncho defense. Evan Manley had the big reception of the night on a long TD strike.
The Rock D stifled Jeff’s offense, surrendering only one score until late in the game when things were already out of reach. Jackson Garrett led the way and Jared Bayha added consistent coverage. The big play was a forced fumble recovered by the Rocks deep in the Red Zone by the tandem of Griffin Lickfeldt and Bryan Skelton.
Shamrock Special Teams had a solid night as well, led by Will Harrison. The PAT/Field Goal team added consistency, making good on all their attempts. The punt team was heard from as well, with a terrific pin of the Broncho offense inside the 1 yard line.
Special mention should be given to Eli Ross, Clint Hostler, Allen Bako, and Jake Miner. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
The Rocks will travel up 31 to take on the Kokomo Wildkats for the Regional Championship. Kickoff is scheduled at 7pm.

#RockReport Sectional Round 1 - Harrison
On offense, the Rocks were led by Touchdown Juggernaut Johnny Swidan, who found the gold paint several times over the course of the night. He couldn’t have done it without the consistent, physical presence of Milo Beam’s downfield blocking. The big play of the night was when Pepiot hooked up with Swidan for one of his long scores.
The Rock D surrendered points early, putting the team down at the half 14-15, but held firm in the second half, allowing only one additional score. They were led by Lucas Schultz snagging a pair of interceptions out of the air, stopping the Raider momentum and providing the Rock O with additional possessions. Bryan Skelton tacked on consistent frontline play in harassing the Harrison QB all night, no doubt contributing to some of those errant throws.
Shamrock Special Teams held firm throughout the night, clearly winning this phase of the game. Noah Smith led the way, while Lucas Schultz and Caleb Sanburn tacked on consistent coverage. Those three combined with the rest of the Special Rocks to prevent the Raiders from gaining any momentum via the kicking game.
Special mention should be given to Tanner Nichols, Dylan Simpson, Matthew Noyes, and Dorian Henson. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
The Rocks will host the Lafayette Jefferson Bronchos this Friday for the Sectional 11 Championship. Kickoff is scheduled at 7pm.

#RockReport Brebeuf
Rocks Varsity Football traveled to face the Brebeuf Braves on Friday night, earning a thrilling 24-21 come-from-behind victory.
It was a tale of two halves, with the Rocks struggling on both sides of the ball early. In the second half, the D stiffened and the O began cashing in late in the 3rd quarter, scoring 24 unanswered points. Johnathan Swidan led the way on the ground with Bryce Sears adding steady hands. The big play of the night was when Ryan Pepiot hooked up with Swidan for a Rock TD.
The Rock D pitched a shutout in the second half, providing the window through which the Rocks stole this victory away. Austin Ward led the way with Koby Hauser tacking on consistently physical play. One of the turning points was when Johnathan Mendoza forced a fumble that was recovered by Josh Tuffnell.
The victory wouldn’t have been possible without key contributions on Special Teams. Frey and Johnathan Swidan added consistent play on top of some key highlights. Lucas Schultz forced a fumble on a kickoff, and the FG block team came up big with the game on the line, stopping the Braves late attempt to tie the score.
Special mention should be given to Austin Ward, Joe Marra, and Matthew Meyer. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
The Rocks have a bye this week, but next Friday, your #unbreakable Rocks will host the Harrison Raiders for the opening round of their Sectional. Kickoff is scheduled at 7pm.

#RockReport Fishers
Rocks Varsity Football hosted Fishers Friday night, falling 28-42 to the Tigers.
The Rocks struggled for most of this one. The offense scored early and then only kicked into high gear when things were getting desperate later. The Rock D couldn’t seem to come up with a big stop all night. It was a very frustrating night, but the Rocks continued to fight, mounting a furious comeback late in the game, but running ultimately running out of steam.
Special mention should be given to Mitch Alderink, Josh Tuffnell, and Tanner Nichols. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

#RockReport Avon
Rocks Varsity Football traveled to Avon Friday night, falling 20-35 to the Orioles.
Take away the first few minutes of the game, and the Rocks stood strong against a very tough and talented conference opponent. The opening minutes, however, saw several Rock errors that essentially spotted the Orioles a 21 point lead. After that, the Rocks evidenced inner strength and pride, clawing their way back into the game. With around 8 minutes left to play, the Rocks were only 8 points down and had their chances to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It was, sadly, not to be.
Special mention should be given to Devin McGinnis, Tanner Nichols, Josue Gonzalez, and Miles Klinkenbeard. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

#RockReport Brownsburg
Rocks Varsity Football came home to host the Brownsburg Bulldogs, losing 59-30.
Offensively, the Shamrocks had another difficult week, while the Rock Defense gave up numerous deep pass plays. The result was a lopsided score, not in a good way. Special Teams generated the lone highlight of the night when Alex Bales showed some impressive leg strength and hit a 51 yard field goal to end the first half.

#RockReport Hamilton Southeastern
Rocks Varsity Football traveled down to Lucas Oil Stadium on Friday for a neutral field contest against the Hamilton Southeaster Royals, losing 34-18.
Offensively, the Shamrocks struggled against a stout Royal defense. They started to find some rhythm late, and were within a 3 point striking distance late in the game, but failed to cash in.
The Rock Defense had a frustrating night as well. They held enough to give the offense a chance, but didn’t create as many takeaways or get the big stops when needed. Explosive passing plays ruined the night and opened up the lead late in the game.
Shamrock Special Teams was a mostly bright spot on the night. The Rocks blocked two Royal punts, setting the offense up for some points. All in all, it was a night of ups and downs, with a lot of good effort, but ultimately not the outcomes desired.
Special mention should be given to Joe Marra, Devin McGinnis, and Jake Miner. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.

#RockReport Noblesville
Offensively, the Shamrocks struggled a bit on Friday, stalling on several drives. They scored when they needed to, however, with the superb quarterbacking by Ryan Pepiot and the steady hands of Evan Manley. No plays were bigger than a Pepiot to Manley conversion to keep the Rock scoring drive alive late in the game.
The Rock Defense held a very talented Miller offense in check for most of the night, turning in two scoreless quarters and winning the takeaway battle for the second week in a row. Luke Lammers and Jackson Garrett turned in fantastic performances, each securing extra possessions for the Rock O. Matthew Tongate continued with consistent play on the D line. The highlight of the night was a diving interception by Luke Lammers in the gold painted turf, stopping a Miller score on a desperate 4th down pass.
Shamrock Special Teams made sure the Rocks had an advantage in field position all night. William Harrison’s stellar punting led to a 99 yard advantage for the Rocks. Will McCool led the way in this phase of the game with Dylan Simpson adding consistency.
Special mention should be given to Peyton Haack and Jordan Grimes. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Come see your #unbreakable Rocks next Friday, when Westfield will travel down to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the Hamilton Southeastern Royals. Kickoff will follow the end of the preceding game, and is tentatively scheduled for around 8:30pm.

Shining Rocks
Love to see when our guys get recognition in the papers. Good IndyStar article covering the Zionsville game here.
#RockReport - Zionsville
Offensively, the Shamrocks brought the lightning in the air followed by thunder on the ground, putting up 45 points. Jonathan Swidan rumbled behind the leadership of Jonathan Mendoza, racking up yards and touchdowns alike. The steady hands of Lucas Schultz guided the air attack, and Ryan Pepiot hooked up with Evan Manley for the big play of the night on a long TD strike.
The Rock Defense wreaked havoc on the Eagle offense, generating multiple takeaways. Martell Fletcher snagged two picks, and Luke Lammers forced a fumble that was snatched up by Jackson Garrett. Koby Hauser added consistent pressure for a unit that, with the exception of a few big plays, made Zionsville earn every yard they got.
Shamrock Special Teams showered the offense with an extra possession as well when Jonathan Swidan and Jared Bayha recovered a squib kickoff. Will Harrison tacked on big points in the kicking game, and Jared Bayha kept up his stellar play throughout the night.
Special mention should be given to Matthew Noyes, Clint Hostler, and Josue Gonzalez. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Come see your #unbreakable Rocks next Friday, when Westfield will host the Noblesville Millers as the rivalry section of the schedule continues. This time the Midland Rail trophy is on the line. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00pm.

#RockReport Southport
Offensively, the Shamrocks were anchored by the solid play of the offensive line. The big men up front paved the way for several long and impressive scoring drives. Evan Manley topped it off with steady hands, including catching the game winning touchdown with 6.7 seconds left.
The Rock Defense fought hard to contain an explosive Cardinal offense. Jackson Garrett and Matthew Tongate led the way, with Koby Hauser adding consistent coverage. The defensive big play came when Jackson Garret undercut a Southport route, intercepting the ball and returning it for a defensive score.
Shamrock Special Teams did a great job of pinning the Cardinals deep, forcing them to drive the field after the numerous Rock scores. Alex Bales came in and boomed several key kicks, which the entire kickoff coverage team was excellent in bottling up any potential return. William Harrison buckled down in the closing minutes of the game to hit a pair of key field goals, putting the Rocks in position to win.
Special mention should be given to Luke Dedrick, Jordan Grimes, and Austin Ward. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Come see your #unbreakable Rocks next Friday, when Westfield will travel to Zionsville High School to take on the Eagles. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00pm.

#RockReport Harrison
Offensively, the Shamrocks were led by Ryan Pepiot. The senior quarterback captained the Rocks to a 35-8 lead heading into the fourth quarter. Johnathan Swidan chipped in 5.5 yard per carry, and Lucas Schultz snagged the big play of the night with a great snag of a deep ball across the middle of the field in that set the Rocks up for a score.
The Rock Defense was stalwart for most of the night, yielding only 8 points through 3 quarters of play. Sam Trompen led the way alongside the consistent play of Luke Lammers. The key series for the Rocks came at the start of the second half, when the Raiders started out with a -1yard, 3-and-out drive.
Shamrock Special Teams shined in their phase of the game. Caleb Sanburn provided great longsnaps all night, while Bryce Sears added consistent play across several teams. The entire kickoff team smothered any Raider thoughts of a return, while William Harrison tacked on a 47-yard field goal.
Special mention should be given to Devin McGinnis, Cameron Nance, and Bryan Hoover. These Rocks made significant contributions in preparing the team for the Friday contest. They were #unbreakable during the week, providing the best possible look for their fellow teammates.
Come see your #unbreakable Rocks next Friday, when Westfield will travel to Southport High School to face the Cardinals. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00pm.

From the News-Sentinel...
Nice little article here on Friday's victory. Much respect to Snider. They are a great program, and that was a big-time win for us. We hope for more opportunities to square off against them in the future.

Highlights: WHS vs Avon
I'll publish the Rock Report on Monday with a better summary of Friday's game. For the weekend highlights, I just wanted to share the results and link to our video area. We played Avon well last night, but came up on the short end of a 20-24 score. Avon punched in the go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute on the clock. A Shamrock heart-breaker to be sure.
Still, the night was not without Shamrock highlights. You can find the team clips selected each week by the coaches here.
Fair warning, some are selected for learning purposes, but we tag the exciting plays, too. So if you see a clip that makes you scratch your head, likely we were speaking to it at film review this morning. Just enjoy the good ones. :-)
We've forwarded two clips to the Indy Star for consideration in their weekly top ten poll (Gilly's play finished 3rd last week, I believe). I'll post a link once the poll goes live, probably early in the week. The plays are:
As much as I hate losing on Friday, packing 12,000 hunger relief packets this morning felt like a victory of a different sort. Hungry to win. Hungry to serve. They go hand-in-hand.

Highlights: WHS @ Harrison
Sundays generally find me collecting the highlights from Friday's game, and sending them out to various media outlets. This year, the Indy Star is planning to put together a top ten list each week with Indianapolis area teams. Each week, I'll be shipping clips off to them. Fans, players, friends... if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave them in comments after Friday's game. Pick any post (or shoot me a tweet or facebook message), and we'll make sure to take a look at that play. They tell me their compilation is planned to go up Monday morning, so Sunday is the cutoff for Indy Star consideration. (I have no problems starring fan favorites to show up on our team highlight page later.)
Sunday, then, I'll try to share the coaches' top picks. These may not make the Indy Star list, but they're our favorites. Here's a link to the video area. You do not need a Hudl account to view this clips (I think. Let me know if you can't see them). You should be able to view the clips from this week (and past weeks).
This week, we've starred three plays. In order:
