Fishers dropped its home opener Friday, falling to Pike 28-14.

The Red Devils controlled the first half, leading 7-0 after scoring on a seven-yard touchdown pass. Pike added two more touchdowns in the second quarter:
A minute into the period, Isaiah Martin rushed 86 yards into the end zone. The
Red Devils then made a 25-yard pass play to score with 18 seconds left and
lead 21-0 at halftime.

Meanwhile, Fishers had multiple drives into the red zone in the first half.

“We just couldn’t execute,” said Tigers coach Curt Funk. The coach said he
would take responsibility for that. “That’s something we’re going to put
an emphasis on in practice,” said Funk.

Fishers got on the board late in the third quarter when Lucas Prewitt sent a
35-yard pass to Landon Morris, who took it into the end zone. Pike scored on a pass
play during the first minute of the fourth period, but Prewitt answered minutes later, taking the ball in from the one. Wayne Christian made both extra-point kicks.

“They came out and responded in the second half,” said Funk. “We fell short,
but we played hard till the end and lost to a good Pike football team tonight.”

Prewitt had an outstanding night, completing 23 of 41 pass attempts for
273 yards. Jeffrey Simmons made nine receptions for 133 yards, while Morris
had seven for 95 yards. Shaun Kim led the rushing with 38 yards.

The Tigers are 0-2 and host Noblesville next Friday to begin Hoosier Crossroads Conference play.
