Spencer County War


Recommended Posts

Heritage Hills 8-0 at South Spencer 1-7

 

 

This is the 49th meeting between Heritage Hills and South Spencer and the Patriots lead the series 36-12. This season South Spencer is averaging 17.0 ppg and giving up 36.4 ppg while the Patriots are averaging 44.0 ppg and giving up 6.6 ppg.

 

Heritage Hills clinched a share of their league leading 27th PAC title with the win over Forest Park last Friday and can win the conference title outright with a win over their county rivals. South Spencer with 11 PAC titles are 2nd place behind Heritage Hills in PAC football titles with 11.

 

 

 

The 12 wins that South Spencer has over Heritage Hills is 2nd to  Southridge for the most wins of any opponent against the Patriots. The Rebels are one of 3 teams that was on the Patriot football schedule in their inaugural season in 1972 that the Patriots have played at least once every season since.

 

 

The Rebels won  5 of the 1st 7 meetings  in the series, the Patriots would win 4 of the next 5 to tie the series up 6-6 and the Rebels would regain the series lead 7-6 with a overtime win in 1984 and the series would  remain tightly contested through the first 21 meetings, After a Rebel win in 1991 the Patriots led the series by a slim 11-10 margin after that loss in 91 the Patriots would win the next 19 meetings  before the Rebels ended the streak with a 14-0 win in 2011.

The Rebels put a scare into Heritage Hills with a freshman quarterback making what I presume was his first varsity start, they killed almost the entire first quarter on the initial drive  before the Patriots stopped them on the HH 23 yard line on a 4th down play. Score was 0-0 after  1 quarter and just 14-0 with less then a minute left in the half before HH scored twice in the final 31 seconds the 2nd was after recovering a Rebel  fumble.

Patriots took control after that for the 42-0 win. South spencer was just the 2nd team this season to hold HH to under 300 yards of offense the other was Forest Park the previous week.

HH still averaged a little better than 9 yds per play for the game. Being under 300 yds was more a product of fewer offensive snaps. HH only ran 31 plays by our count.

Tonight was Hurt’s first varsity start, as you surmised. Odd to say a 42-0 loss was one of SS’s better performances, but it really was. Rebels were better at the LOS (against a dang good HH front line) than they’ve been. Lots of soph’s & Frosh competed well & gave themselves something to build on for the post season.
