The Indian Captains were #4 Zach Franklin, #9 Mathew Wallace, #34 David Lee Haskins, and #82 Aaron Anderson. Loudon won the coin toss and wanted the football.

After gaining a first down on a 24 yard Wallace romp, the Indians fumbled the ball away. Madisonville took over on their own 20 yard line. Three and out the Tornados were in punt formation, #16 Nick Roach hit the center just as he was snapping the ball. A mad scramble for the loose ball ensued, although Madisonville recovered the ball, it was first and 10 Indians on the 16 yard line.

Wallace was off and running, breaking tackles along the way in route to a 16 yard touchdown. Haskins made good on the conversion attempt. The score board has eight to zip Indians, with the clock showing 5:03 left in the first period.

After a defensive stopper, the Indians miscue. “Air” Franklin is picked off, putting the Big Red “D” back on the field.

Madisonville is driving, but fumbles on the first play of the second quarter. Six plays and 1:54 was all that was needed for the Indians to pad their lead with a touchdown by #27 Kadrean Brewster from 12 yards out.

The pesky Tornados are still hanging around; they drove down to the 14 yard line before stalling out on downs.

Loudon manages five plays in 43 seconds before the first half expires.

So far in the game, all the kick-offs have been on-side attempts that have been recovered by the receiving team with no return. The Indians kicked-off to start the second half. Hustling down to recover the on-sides kick was #55 Jordan Collis! Starting on the 50 yard line, the Indians made short work out of the opportunity by turning that turnover into points. Five plays were all that was needed. The last three yards were earned by #37 Nick Brown who blew into the end zone. The extra points were posted by Wallace.

After another defensive stop, the Indians picked up the tempo, made things happen and pulled away! Brown scored his second touchdown of the game to seal the deal, a six yarder. #7 Eric Newman contributed the conversion points. And that would do it.

Middle linebacker #16 Nick Roach continues to set the pace defensively scoring eight knock downs in the game. #39 Devan Grissom added seven stops, #23 Jake Brown came away with six, and #51 Brandon Whitfield added five tackles.

Total offense was 275 yards on 33 rushing attempts for four touchdowns and three 2-point conversions.

In a tough, physical, hard hitting game, the Indians (8-1) overpower the Tornados in three quarters and are victorious 30-0. With this the final regular season game, the Indians have secured the #2 seed for post season play. Go Indians!
