Zionsville pulled away from visiting Fishers on Friday, with the Eagles scoring 24 second-half points to beat the Tigers 38-7 in their regular-season and Hoosier Crossroads Conference finale.

The game started out “very competitive,” said Fishers coach Curt Funk, with both defenses playing strong. But Zionsville’s Colin Price broke out for a 65-yard run to score the game’s first touchdown.

The Eagles added a second touchdown with less than a minute to go in the second quarter on a short pass. Still, the Tigers were only down 14-0 at halftime.

“But unfortunately, our first drive stalled and we were playing catch up the rest of the night,” said Funk.

Zionsville scored two touchdowns in the third quarter to go up 28-0 before Fishers got on the board. Lucas Prewitt and Landon Morris teamed up for a 39-yard pass play score, with Justin Sharkey kicking the extra point. The Eagles finished the fourth quarter with a 13-yard passing touchdown and a field goal.

Prewitt had another solid game, going 16-of-32 for 161 yards. Jeffrey Simmons made seven catches, while Morris totaled three. Carson Dunn led the rushing with 52 yards. Grady Stanley led the Tigers’ defense with eight tackles, followed by Seth Dunnuck with six stops.

“We just got to eliminate our penalties and keep working to improve every day and we have two weeks to regroup and refocus and start a new beginning in the playoffs,” said Funk.

Fishers finished 2-5 in HCC play and 2-7 overall. The Tigers are off until Oct. 30, when it hosts Hamilton Southeastern in the semi-finals of Class 6A Sectional 4.
