When Friday evening began, Fishers was tied with Avon and Brownsburg for the lead
in the Hoosier Crossroads Conference.

Once the games were settled…nothing had changed.

The Tigers beat Westfield 27-17 at Riverview Health Stadium, doing their part to stay
in the hunt for the HCC championship. So did the two Hendricks County teams: The
Orioles blanked Zionsville 40-0 and the Bulldogs beat Noblesville 41-10.

All three teams now have 4-1 conference records going into the final week of the
regular season. Fishers will host Zionsville, Avon welcomes the Millers and Brownsburg
will host Hamilton Southeastern.

Westfield gave the Tigers a battle, leading 7-6 at halftime. The Shamrocks scored on
a seven-yard run by Cameron Nance and Alex Bales made the extra-point kick. That
answered a Fishers touchdown from earlier in the period: Matt Wolff connected on a 27-
yard pass to Collin Statz. The Tigers went for two, but the attempt didn’t go.

Fishers got those points back after scoring the first of two touchdowns in the third
quarter. Wolff tossed a two-yard TD throw to Jack Freeh, then made the conversion
throw to Bryce Gee. With 20 seconds left in the quarter, Wolff made another short pass
to the end zone, this one into the hands of Isaiah Dunnuck.

The Tigers then went to the foot of Ben Norton in the fourth quarter, and he made two
field goals to extend Fishers’ lead to 27-10. Westfield did get one more touchdown, this a
12-yard pass from Nance to Kaleb Pettijohn. Bales kicked the extra point; he also booted
a 47-yard field goal in the third period.

Wolff had an outstanding game, completing 13 of 18 passes for 187 yards and the
three scores. Statz and Will Syrus each had four catches. Nance also had a good game,
going 9 for 17 and totaling 142 yards and one touchdown.

The Shamrocks finished HCC play 2-4 and will travel to Brebeuf Jesuit next week.
