Hoosier Heritage Conference Week 5

[crimsonace1]

Greenfield-Central at Shelbyville WRGF-89.7, WSVX-1520/Giant.FM. The Cougars ran for 400 yards in a 35-0 win over Pendleton Heights last week. Shelbyville won its first HHC game since 2018, snapping a 21-game losing streak in conference play, when it beat New Castle 22-20 last week. Both teams are 1-1 in league play. G-C is ranked for the second time this season ... the first time in at least 20 years the Cougars have appeared in the Top 10. 

Mt. Vernon at Delta The Marauders moved the ball at times against New Palestine's defense, but had two turnovers in the red zone that accelerated the score in their 42-6 loss to New Palestine last week. Delta dropped a decision to Yorktown in a county rivalry matchup. Both teams coming off losses to rivals makes this an intriguing matchup of squads 1-1 in conference play. 

New Palestine at Pendleton Heights. NewPalRadio.com/WEEM-91.7. The Dragons marched on last week, as the varsity offense scored on seven straight possessions in a 42-6 win over Mt. Vernon, with Danny Tippit throwing for 220 yards. PH's young squad struggled to move the ball against Greenfield-Central in a 35-0 loss. Since Jed Richman took over, PH has consistently played New Palestine as tough as anyone. 

Yorktown at New Castle. WLTI-1550. The Tigers have been impressive in a 3-1 start, and having Mason Moulton back adds another dimension to their passing game. Yorktown is the only team to slow New Palestine so far - if for a half - and looks poised to contend for the upper echelon of the conference. New Castle is the only team with an 0-2 conference mark and is looking to bounce back from a loss to Shelbyville last week.

After seeing Yorktown and Mt Vernon playing New Pal, I'd say that Yorktown, outside of seeing GC yet, is the number 2 team in the conference. Their defense is pretty stout and agressive and flies to the ball. Outside of some poor tackling I'd say they are pretty good. The passing game and run game aren't too shabby either. I can see Yorktown making a run for second best record in the HHC.
