    East Central finishes Lawrenceburg - East Central 24, Lawrenceburg 3 - final

    Moeller piles on - Moeller 38, Princeton 14 - fourth quarter

    East Central extends lead again - East Central 24, Lawrenceburg 3 - fourth quarter

    Moeller nabs another score for commanding lead - Moeller 35, Princeton 14 - fourth quarter

    Ponatarski, who broke Moeller’s single season passing yards record as a sophomore in 2023, has thrown for four touchdowns tonight. Princeton fumbled the ensuing kickoff, and Moeller recovered at the 27-yard line.

    St. X scores at 11th hour, but it’s not enough - Lakota West 17, St. Xavier 13 - final

    Bomber quarterback Chase Herbstreit ran in for a one-yard touchdown with less than a minute left in the game, but Lakota West hung on for a big win.

    Ryle grabs first win - Ryle 30 - Covington Catholic 14 - final

    Ryle grabbed another two points on a safety to further extend its lead with about four minutes left in the game. The score would stay there until Ryle kneeled out the game.

    Lawrenceburg gets on the board in final frame - East Central 17, Lawrenceburg 3 - fourth quarter

    Ryle takes stronghold - Ryle 28, Covington Catholic 14 - fourth quarter

    Jacob Savage rushed up the middle for a 20-yard touchdown to give the Raiders the lead once again. The play was set up by a completion from quarterback Nate Verax to veteran receiver Landon Lorms on fourth-and-ten to move Ryle into the red zone and keep the Raider drive alive.

    A few plays later, a snap went past Covington Catholic quarterback Dylan Gaiser and into the end zone, where a Raider fell on it for another score.

    East Central extends lead again - East Central 17, Lawrenceburg 0 - third quarter

    Bombers threaten, but Firebirds buckle down - Lakota West 17, St. Xavier 7 - fourth quarter

    Covington Catholic ties it up - Covington Catholic 14, Ryle 14 - fourth quarter

    Following the interception, Covington Catholic scored on a 24-yard catch by Donovan Bradshaw with barely any time left in the third quarter. Starting quarterback Kash Harney was off the field with what appeared to be cramps, so it was backup Dylan Gaiser who found Bradshaw.

    Moeller scores again - Moeller 21, Princeton 7 - third quarter

    Moeller scored on a one-yard touchdown run from Benjamin Rice. A 33-yard completion from Matt Ponatoski to Jovan Rice on third down set up the score.

    Covington Catholic fumbled the football with its back against the end zone but recovered it on the one-yard line. A few plays later, the Colonels fumbled again and this time the Raiders fell on the loose ball.

    Ponatoski tosses touchdown as half winds down - Princeton 7, Moeller 14 - halftime

    The score would stay the same as the game entered half.

    Trojans strike first - East Central 7, Lawrenceburg 0 - second quarter

    Colonels and Raiders head into half tied - Ryle 7, Covington Catholic 7 - halftime

    Neither the Colonels nor the Raiders could score again before halftime, so the game went into the break with the score tied at seven.

    Premier Indiana game remains scoreless - East Central 0, Lawrenceburg 0 - second quarter

    Moeller evens score - Princeton 7, Moeller 7 - second quarter

    Firebirds grab lead on Bombers - Lakota West 14 - St. Xavier 7, Halftime

    Lawrenceburg and East Central locked in defensive battle in first quarter

    Teams answer back - Lakota West 7, St. Xavier 7 - second quarter; Ryle 7, Covington Catholic 7 - second quarter

    Sam Wiles punched in a 4-yard touchdown run for Lakota West, tying the game between Lakota West and St. Xavier at 7. Nathan Verax found Landon Lorms in the back corner of the end zone, with Lorms making a spectacular catch to tie the game between Ryle and Covington Catholic at 7-7.

    First blood drawn

    St. Xavier took an early lead over Lakota West. The Bombers blocked a punt and Ja’Kobe Clapper returned the ball 26-yards to the Firebird 8-yard line. A play later, Chase Herbstreit ran the ball in for an 8-yard touchdown. A converted PAT made the score 7-0 Bombers.

    Covington Catholic scored first on a 14-yard touchdown run by quarterback Cash Harney. The PAT made it through the updates to make the score 7-0 Colonels.

    Princeton took an early lead on Moeller with a 7-yard touchdown run by quarterback De’Angelo Birch to make the score 7-0.

    Defenses reign early in Week 1

    Fifteen real-time minutes into Week 1, both St. X vs. Lakota West and Ryle vs. Covington Catholic are scoreless. The Bombers and the Firebirds traded punts to start, and a long Ryle gain was negated by an Illegal man downfield penalty.

    Crosstown showdown packs Pat Mancuso Field

    It was announced this afternoon that Pat Mancuso field’s capacity of 5,000 was sold out for maybe the biggest game on the schedule this evening between Moeller and Princeton.
