INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Week 6 of IHSAA football saw a mix of delays, rescheduled games, and thrilling action as Hurricane Helene’s remnants brought torrential rain and wind to Central Indiana. Friday night’s weather forced many schools to push their games to Saturday, leading to a rare all-day football affair. Despite the conditions, teams battled through, showing resilience and heart across the board.

Here are the key results and highlights:

Decatur Central 42, Plainfield 21
Decatur Central secured a decisive victory, led by standout performances from Kasmir Hicks and Fa’rel Carter.
