When Hamilton Southeast-ern (HSE) Schools went to the voters in May of 2016 asking for a property tax increase to solid-ify the financial situation of the local schools, one argument ed-ucators made to vote yes was the issue of teacher compensation. HSE Schools Superintendent Allen Bourff often said HSE, because of the quality and rep-utation of the school system and the community, can recruit and retain good teachers without be-ing at the top of the Indianapolis

suburban pay school.Dr. Bourff said HSE just

needs to be competitive by rais-ing the compensation closer to the middle of the pack among the Indy suburbs. The referen-dum passed overwhelmingly.

The Hamilton Southeastern Education Association (HSEA) and Hamilton Southeastern School administrators have hammered out a new two-year contract covering calendar years 2018 and 2019 for teachers in the HSE school corporation. At the Oct. 25 school board

ven R. Nation was awarded the 2017 Jimmie Thacker, Jr. Person of the Year award by the Inter-national Association for Tru-ancy and Dropout Prevention (IATDP) at their 107th Interna-tional Conference recently held in Indianapolis.

The International Organiza-tion brings together educators, social workers, legislators and policy makers from all over the world with a focus on gathering input for fostering change and engaging students to remain in school. Judge Nation was select-ed for this Award based on his continuing efforts in developing

the statewide Youth Assistance Program which brings together schools, businesses, faith-based organiza-tions and the commu-nity to help at-risk stu-dents stay in school and out of the Juvenile Justice system through the assistance of vol-unteers who provide tutoring, mentoring and a coordination of services to at-risk children and their families.

“I am honored to accept this award on behalf of the Early Intervention Advocates, Super-intendents, Principals, Teachers, School Counselors, Mayors, City

and County officials, and those individuals who serve as volunteers on our boards and for our programs,” Nation said. “I am so proud of the Youth Assistance Program and the way it brings together the community, business-es, and faith-based or-

ganizations to provide support and encouragement to our at-risk children. This Program has been able to provide hundreds of our young people with valuable re-sources and an opportunity to follow their desired careers and reach the highest potential for their lives.”

Noblesville Council approves budgetThe REPORTER

The Noblesville Common Council adopted the 2018 Civil City budget at last Tuesday’s meeting. The 2018 Civil City budget totals $65,170,297, with a general fund budget of $40,904,122.

“As a growing community, Nobles-ville’s population increase comes with

higher public demands and expectations, which were addressed in this year’s bud-get through more resources and person-nel,” said Mayor John Ditslear. “The budget also is structured so financial information is tracked and reported to help policy makers and citizens easily understand how the city is actually us-

ing its resources and allocating funding to priorities.”

In 2018, public safety accounts for 65 percent of the general fund bud-get and 45 percent of the overall Civil City budget. It also includes the hiring of four firefighters and the purchase of a new fire engine. In addition to the

NFD personnel, the budget allows for the hiring of seven new full-time po-sitions and converting two part-time positions into full time. The other po-sitions include two employees in the controller’s office, and street and parks

Fishers and affordable housingBy LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

With Fish-ers continuing to grow as a suburb of In-dianapolis, af-fordable hous-ing will be in short supply

and city officials are beginning to talk about the housing needs for workers and senior citizens. During a city council work session Oct. 16, City Planner Dale Davis laid out the issues facing the city on the housing front.

The median family income in Fishers is between $90,000 and

$100,000 a year. The median home price is around $250,000.

Davis gave an example of a married couple, a firefighter and a teacher, each at roughly the mid-point of their respective careers. Their combined family income would be just over $90,000, barely within the local median income.

Using the 30 percent of income figure for housing provided in fed-eral guidelines, that couple should be spending no more than $1,650 a month for a home. The mortgage on that $250,000 house would be roughly $1,646 a month (there are many variables such as amount of the down payment).

David Najjar has been ap-pointed judge of Hamilton Supe-rior Court 5. Gov. Eric Holcomb made the appointment Friday filling a vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Wayne Sturtevant in August. For 12 years Najjar has been the county court’s magistrate. Previously he served as a deputy prosecuting attorney.

A 30-year resident of Ham-ilton County, he lives in Carmel and graduated from Carmel High School and Indiana Universi-ty. The new judge and his wife, the former Karen Philllips, have three children. He is active in Scouting and his church.

He takes office immediately,

b e c o m i n g only the sec-ond judge in Superior 5 history.

Najjar will serve out the re-mainder of the current term which runs through Dec. 31, 2020.

He was one of 17 local attor-neys who submitted applications for the post. The new judge had made an unsuccessful run for judge of Superior Court 2 last year. Jon Brown won that contest.

Local attorneys generally ex-pressed satisfaction with Najjar's appointment, saying they be-lieve him to be qualified and fair during his tenure as magistrate.

Funding for a major expansion of the Hamilton County Jail will be requested by County Commissioners at the Dec. 6 meeting of the County Council. Commis-sioners recently voted to request an ap-propriation of $16.7 million in order to in-crease jail capacity from the current 296 to about 550.

Overcrowding has been a problem at the 24-year-old jail for some time. In re-cent months, female inmates were moved to the Juvenile Detention Center, and ju-veniles were moved elsewhere on the cor-rections campus to give temporary relief at the jail.

But long-term with the county pop-ulation soaring, commissioners say ma-jor expansion in anticipation of future needs is necessary. When the expansion was discussed earlier, council members felt building to a capacity of about 420 would be adequate.

But last Monday commissioners were given cost estimates that showed the greater expansion would only in-crease the cost from $12.2 million to $16.7 million. Believing it would be wise to plan ahead for anticipated needs, the board decided to seek the greater amount. Whatever figure is approved by council, the project is expected to be bid in January or February of next year. The current jail was completed in 1993, and since that time the juvenile cen-ter and a Community Corrections work release facility has been added on the Cumberland Road campus.

In other action at their regular meet-ing, commissioners approved an inter-local agreement with Carmel officials on the planned Lowes Way extension, a project that will allow direct highway access from 146th Street to southbound Keystone Parkway. Construction is ex-pected to begin early next year.

Also approved were plans to design a roundabout at 191st Street and Grassy Branch Road in Washington Township. Compensation agreements in lieu of statutory fees were signed for 2018 com-pensation for the county surveyor, Ken-ton Ward, at $104,000, and county clerk Tammy Baitz at $118,000.

And commissioners approved plans for leveling an abandoned house at 5263 E. 156th St., Noblesvillle. Neighbors said the house is an eyesore and harbors possible illegal activities. Actual demoli-tion will follow a 30 day warning period to the owners.

Transportation Museum loses a round in court

By LARRY LANNANLarryInFishers.com

Federal Judge Jane Magnus-Stin-son has dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Indiana Transportation Museum against the Hoosier Heritage Port Au-thority. The museum alleged violations of constitutional rights in disputes with the Authority.

The two groups have been at logger-heads for a number of years over the Nick-el Plate rail tracks, running from Tipton to downtown Indianapolis.

Now that the Transportation Muse-um has had this suit dismissed, it is not known what, if any, next steps there are for the museum as a result of the court’s ruling to dismiss.

Director and Liz Nelson, Board Member Northern Hamilton Chamber; Stuart Godfrey, Erin Jennings and Rachel Settle from krM; Paul Browning, Skip Watkins and Craig Dunking from WR Dunkin; Consultant Steve Ha-ley; Janis Bailey, Ivy Tech; Jim Wolf from Chrysler, among others.

“We are pleased to show-

case the result of fiscal respon-sibility and a collective effort,” said Mason, who served as the event’s Master of Ceremonies, noting the time and attention to detail given by all those in-volved in this component of the Corporation’s Project Vi-sion from beginning to end. “Transforming the traditional classroom space into collabo-rative work spaces create opti-

mal educational environments and will enhance individual learning opportunities for our students well into the future.”

Derrick Dean said it was great to see all the support from the community who took this opportunity to check out the latest renovations. “These improvements will move us into the more current world to better help prepare our students

for their futures,” Dean noted.Commissioner Mark Heir-

brandt, who just returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., said he stopped by the open house because he was excited to see the updates. Heirbrandt wanted to show his support sharing that he is a big advo-cate of education and wants to do all he can for students in his district.”

My mom and I are alike in so many ways. The exceptions, most-ly, have to do with sewing.

My mom tried to teach me to sew. My mom tried to teach me to crochet. My mom tried to teach me to embroider. My mom taught me to cook.

One out of four isn't the success rate for which she had hoped. You can lead the child to the hobby but you can't make it learn. The child has to want to learn.

I did make a babushka in my seventh grade Home Economics class. It was torture for both me and Miss Rudolph.

Mom still crochets at the age of 91. In fact she is taking orders for her sock dolls. She makes the doll and then crochets clothes for them.

She has so much detail in her designs. She will tuck a handkerchief in the pock-et of a boy doll's overalls. The girl dolls are adorned with a beret or bonnet. The skirts have belts in coordi-nating fabric.

Growing up, Mom would have McCalls pat-terns spread out over fab-ric on the kitchen table. I loved the clothes she made me. She hoped that I would someday make clothes for

my daughter. It never happened.

Over the years she has crocheted af-ghans and sewn quilts. I have al-ways marveled at her creations. However, I never had any desire to learn

these things myself. A few days ago I signed

up for a Hand Lettering Art Class at the Dwelling Place in Atlanta. When I told my mom, she was so excited. She told me that I needed to learn to do something or I would be a lonely old woman.

I don't know who laughed harder, me, my mom or my granddaugh-ter, Alecksa. I guess there is still hope for me. I guess you really aren't too old to learn something new.

I will tell you that I loved the class. While I am not ready to create a fancy sign, I will be practicing what I learned. Practic-ing, because I have found something I truly enjoy and want to learn more.

Maybe at 91 I will be taking orders for signs. Or maybe, I will still be bak-ing chocolate pies like my mom taught me. I guess my mom would say . . . there is still hope for me yet!

Or . . . I may get around to writing my book.

The REPORTERThe Sheridan Public Li-

brary is weeding a lot of its reference books and offer-ing them for sale to the pub-lic. The sale items include general knowledge ency-clopedia sets (World Book, Americana, Britannica), specialty encyclopedia sets, biographic works, dictio-naries, atlases, fact books, science and health works and many, many more. The library is getting rid of sev-eral hundred items.

According to library di-rector Steve Martin, all of the items are out of date for current informational needs, but they contain informa-tion that is still valid. As an example, he says historic information about the kings and queens of England is still valid; it is just the last 20 years that is missing and that is readily available on the Internet.

The sale will be in si-lent auction format and the books can be seen at the library. The auction begins on Monday, Oct. 30, and bids will be taken up to closing time on Saturday,

Nov. 18. Martin says, “If you are doing home school-ing and need some basic reference books, this is your opportunity to get some real bargains.”

The Sheridan Public Li-brary is located at 103 W. First St. in beautiful uptown Sheridan, just on the coun-try side of Hamilton Coun-ty. Library hours are 10 a.m.

to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. For further information, please contact the library at 317-758-5201.

“That family would be pretty close to what would be their maxi-mum on that,” Davis told council members.

Many startups that are popular in Fishers have peo-ple working there making around $44,000 a year. Da-vis asked where they would live in the Fishers area.

Davis then turned to the issue of senior citizen housing. Population fore-casts indicate the senior

population in the area will continue increase as Fishers grows, to over 23,000 by the year 2040.

Both young people and seniors want walkability, shops and low maintenance, so Fishers is on the right track for both groups, ac-cording to Davis.

“As you think about IKEA, you think about Top Golf, you think of all these other places that we have around Fishers, there may

be a reasonable discussion to think about – can afford-able housing make sense in our city?” Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness asked mem-bers of the City Council. “I think the senior housing should not be discounted at all. I think that is going to be a huge, huge need in our city.”

The mayor emphasized that to move forward on af-fordable housing, it will take leadership from himself and

members of the city council to get such projects done.

The city council mem-bers then had a general discussion of the issue, and there appeared to be support in general for an affordable housing program, partic-ularly for seniors. Mayor Fadness said he wanted the council to receive informa-tion on the issue.

Now we will wait to see what next steps city officials choose to take.

• In 2019, the aver-age salary increase will be 2.66 percent, with the low $40,158 and the high $79,751.

• There will be a group of teachers not always falling under the increas-es described above due to what is described as a “re-set,” which is an effort to increase the pay of newly hired teachers who suffered pay caps during the tough budget years.

• Health insurance pre-miums will not increase in 2018, but 2019 premiums will depend on what the school system experienc-es in health claims, as that data is not known yet.

• Teacher compensation for extracurricular activi-ties will not change in the current 2017-2018 school

year, but the school corpo-ration will inject $17,500 into that money pool during the 2018-2019 school year.

• The administration PowerPoint presentation

says this contract will in-crease teacher compensa-tion by just over $6.4 mil-lion during the two-year duration of the pact.

Teachers must ratify

this contract. The vote will be held Nov. 1 through Nov. 3. If teachers approve, the school board will hold a ratification vote at the Nov. 8 meeting.

By CRAIG ADKINSIt seemed like the late afternoon

weather of a rain and sleet mix would playinto the outcome of this Class 6A Sec-tional 4 first round match up and it mayhave. But, that really wasn't the caseFriday night as 10th-ranked Carmel gotone step closer to defending their 2016state championship with a 25-7 win atNoblesville.

The Millers forced the Greyhounds topunt after five plays, but that's whenthings got a a little quirky. Noblesville'sWyatt Blades reached out for ZacharyBradley's punt and the ball bounced off ofhis hands and scooted all the way down tothe nine-yard line and was recovered byCarmel's Garrett Sharp.

One play later, tailback Camari Huntfumbled the ball and Ryan Barnes ofNoblesville pounced on it at the seven,where the Millers took over.

“Yeah, I thought Noblesville's coachesand players did a really great job, reallyall game long dealing with adversity andfighting through it,” said Carmel headcoach John Hebert, complimentingNoblesville's preparation for this sectionalshowdown.

“Talking with Coach Simmons, it'sbeen an odd year for them and it's been areally odd year for us, so the start of thegame was kind of a microcosm of whatour season was like and quite a bit offootball was played in the second quarterand it was 3-0,” Hebert continued on bothteams' seasons to this point.

Carmel got the first points on the boardlate in the first with a Matt Fortier 23-yardfield goal to make it 3-0.

Noblesville caught a break midwaythrough the second when punt returnerAtticus Clouse fumbled a punt return ofhis own at the 38. Senior linebackerAustin Bridenthal recovered the miscueby Clouse, but the drive didn't go any-where, forcing another Miller punt.

Just before halftime, junior tailbackCamari Hunt helped increase the Grey-hound lead to 10-0 with a six-yard touch-down run.

“Could have been more points on bothsides and neither time established them-selves. We made a lot of dumb mistakes,too, during that time,” Hebert said aboutboth teams having opportunities in thefirst half.

The Greyhounds got their offenseestablished right away in the third anddidn't look back.

Hunt busted through the Miller defen-sive line and sprinted to the end zone 68yards later for a score. After what was abotched snap on the point-after attempt,holder Atticus Clouse was forced toscramble and converted an inside pitch tokicker Matt Fortier, just before Clousewas tackled. Fortier raced across the goalline, converting the two-point conversionfor an 18-0 Carmel lead.

Carmel would put their second scorein the end zone of the third on a 20-yardtouchdown pass from Gabe Quigley toAtticus Clouse that upped the Greyhoundmargin to 25-0.

Noblesville's offense was finally ableto maneuver how it wanted to all night.Grant Gremel scored on a quarterbackkeeper with 8:19 left to make it 25-7,which was set up by a 12-yard pass fromGremel to Zach Gruver down to the one.

“I've got to give Noblesville a lot ofcredit. They very easily could have hadtheir heads down and I didn't see any ofthat. They came to fight and that wasobvious. It was obvious to me that they'renot intimidated by Carmel and we had afight on our hands and we had to earnwhat we could get,” said Hebert onNoblesville's efforts in the fourth quarterthat would turn out to be too little, too late.

Noblesville had a couple more chanceson offense to try to cut into the Carmellead, but those plans were foiled by a

Tommy Spraetz interception of a Gremelpass in the end zone for a touchback. Onthe Millers' final possession, they turnedthe ball over on downs at the Carmel 49.

It was obvious all night long thatNoblesville was going to put up a fight.That's exactly what they did, aside from acouple big scoring plays in the thirdquarter. The Millers were in the game allnight long and their effort didn't go unno-ticed by anyone.

The Millers left it all out on the fieldand head coach Jason Simmons and hisstaff couldn't be more proud of their groupof young men.

“No question, our kids came into thisgame believing that we were gonna loadup and give 'em the best shot we had,” saidNoblesville head coach Jason Simmonson his Millers' performance Friday night.

“We're gonna take a look back at it andsay that big plays got us and at some pointwe're going to sit down as a staff and takea look back at our season and we're gonnasay big plays got us, so we have to go towork on that and we certainly will,” saidSimmons on his team's season and the

off-season work that his players and staffhave ahead of them.

It's always tough seeing one team'sseason come to an end and players' highschool careers coming to a close, butunfortunately, it can't last forever.

Grant Gremel helped highlight thefinal game of his junior season with 25carries for 90 yards and a touchdown,while fellow junior Zach Gruver caughtseven Gremel passes for 100 yards on thenight.

The Millers finished a rough 2017 witha 1-9 record, saying goodbye to a greatsenior class, but also have a lot of under-classmen that will fill their shoes nextseason.

Camari Hunt led all with 185 yards onthe ground on 22 carries with two touch-downs.

Carmel (6-4) extends its season to the6A Sectional 4 championship game athome next week at Greyhound Stadiumagainst the Lafayette Jeff Bronchos (10-0). The Bronchos ousted the 2016 5A statechampion Westfield Shamrocks onFriday, 27-24.

football game between Fishers and Hamil-ton Southeastern was throwback football atits best: A good, old-fashioned roll in theMud...sock.

There was also much at stake, with atrip to the sectional championship game onthe line. In the end, the Tigers prevailedover the host Royals 9-6 and will host Pikenext Friday for the Sectional 5 title.

Unlike games in their recent past, thiswas a defensive showdown between theMudsock rivals. The game was played inchilly and gloomy conditions, which addedto the grittiness factor.

"Their team played well," said Fisherscoach Rick Wimmer. "Our defense reallyplayed well tonight. I don't think we gaveup a big play all night, except for a little bitright there at the end of the first half whenthey got their drive going. We did a reallygood job against the run, got some pressureon the quarterback at times."

The Tigers got on the board first, withBen Norton kicking a 24-yard field goal latein the first quarter. Southeastern had to waitalmost a full period to respond, but did sowith a step-by-step drive that finally got it

in the end zone.Jackson Sweeney punched the ball in

from the one-yard line with 3:30 left in thesecond quarter. Fishers blocked the extra-point attempt, but the Royals still had thelead at halftime, 6-3.

The Tigers re-took the lead early in thethird quarter. HL Lewis ran the ball into theend zone from six yards, getting his teamahead 9-6. Fishers tried to go for two, buta conversion pass fell incomplete.

After that, the defenses took over. Mostof the drives for both teams ended in punts,but a big defensive stop came with 5:56 left,when the Tigers halted HSE's drive onfourth-and-1.

That gave Fishers the ball back witharound 4:30 left. The Tigers converted afourth-and-2 to keep their drive going, thenLewis' nine-yard run on third-and-9 withunder a minute left finally clinched thegame for Fishers.

Both teams' leading rushers workedhard to get their yards, with Lewis andSweeney carrying the ball 22 times. Lewisfinished with 81 yards, while Sweeneycollected 49 yards. Lewis also had twocatches for the game, the most of anyFishers player. Matt Wolff finished thegame 6-of-16, collecting 75 yards.

Southeastern quarterback Kody Sparkshad a solid game, going 13-for-20 on 116yards. Ben Boysen and Jackson Lantz eachmade four catches.

Southmont led 28-0 midway through the third quarter beforethe Huskies were able to get on the board. Camron Knott teamedup with Carter Compassi for a 12-yard pass play touchdown latein the period.

It was an interesting situation for Westfield Friday: The Shamrocks were coming intotheir Class 6A Sectional 4 game with Lafayette Jefferson as theupset-minded team.

Westfield traveled to the Bronchos' field for a date withundefeated Jeff. The 'Rocks battled through a back-and-forth gamebefore a late touchdown lifted the Bronchos past Westfield 27-24.Jefferson remains unbeaten at 10-0, while the 'Rocks finished theirseason at 4-6.

Westfield answered Jeff's every score, leading to the teamsfinishing the first half tied at 17-17. Cameron Nance got the 'Rockson the board with a two-yard touchdown run, then put Westfieldup 14-10 with a 21-yard dash to the end zone.

Sheridan senior Gunnar Williams set a school record by kicking 65 consecutiveextra points for the Blackhawks. Williams’ streak started in his junior year andlasted through Week 9 of the regular season this year.

Williams kicks it upa notch for Sheridan

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorThe act of kicking extra points in foot-

ball is so common in football, that it'susually an afterthought.

Those extra points can add up, though.In the case of Sheridan senior GunnarWilliams, those kicks added up to a schoolrecord streak.

Williams kicked 65 extra points in arow for the Blackhawks in a streak thatstarted last season and ended a coupleweeks ago. Williams ran his streak upthrough Week 9 of this season, kicking twoextra points during Sheridan's 55-13 winover South Decatur before finally missingin the second quarter.

After that, Williams started anotherstreak, which is at 16 - and counting.

"He had a heck of a streak going, 65 ina row," said Sheridan coach Bud Wright."That's by far the school record here. That'sreally a heck of a job kicking the ball."

Williams began kicking for the 'Hawksin his sophomore year, slowly taking onthose duties as he became a member of thevarsity team.

"My sophomore year I worked into it alittle bit, so I was ready for my junior year,"said Williams. "I didn't do the kickoffduties last year, just the extra points. It wassomething I had to adjust to, because at thebeginning I wasn't too hot."

But once Williams got rolling, hebecame an automatic seventh point afterSheridan scored a touchdown.

"I just try to do my job," said Williams."I didn't focus too much on what theamount was."

Williams has had quite a few opportu-nities to kick, since Sheridan has beenscoring quite a few touchdowns thisseason. The 'Hawks are averaging 41.1points per game, and have cracked the50-point mark in six of their games. TwiceSheridan has reached 60 points, scoring 63against Clinton Prairie and 64 againstTaylor in consecutive weeks.

"I think the team's been playing great,"said Williams. Sheridan is 9-2 for theseason, with its only losses to very goodWestern Boone and Tipton teams.

Williams plays on both offense anddefense for Sheridan, and does pretty wellon both sides. The senior has scored eighttouchdowns and also kicked a field goal.In fact, Williams is the second-leadingscorer in Hamilton County with 106 points.The only player ahead of him is his Black-hawks teammate Joe Callahan, who has164 points on 27 touchdowns and a two-point conversion.

"It's exhausting, but the opportunity isgreat," said Williams. "Not a lot of peopleget to play both sides of the ball and thatjust means I get more playing time. I liketo benefit my team as much as possible. Itry to perfect everything I do, whether it'son the offensive side, defensive side orspecial teams. I'm sure all the other guyscould vouch for themselves on that."

As a senior, Williams said he is startingto entertain the possibility of playing incollege.

"I've really considered it," said Wil-liams. "I don't have any offers. If someone'sgoing to pay for my college, I'll definitelytake it."

The boys race was true to form whilethe girls race had a few surprises at Satur-day's IHSAA state cross country meet.

In cold conditions at the LaVernGibson Cross Country Course in TerreHaute, Hamilton County had the top twoboys teams, and three of the top six girlsteams. In addition, a county runner claimedthe individual boys championship.

That champion is Hamilton Southeast-ern's Gabe Fendel. The senior won the racein a time of 15:17.2, finishing 2.3 secondsahead of Cathedral junior Cole Hocker.The two had been trading the post-seasonchampionships over the past couple weeks,with Hocker winning the Noblesvilleregional, then Fendel triumphing at theShelbyville semi-state.

This marked the third straight top 10finish for Fendel, who will be running atthe University of Colorado next year.Fendel was the individual runner-up lastseason, placed ninth in 2015. Fendel wasa state qualifier all four years; he finishedthe race his freshman year in a time of16:38.3.

Meanwhile, the Greyhounds won thestate championship trophy for the 15thtime, extending their record. Carmel'svictory also meant a sixth consecutivefinish in the top two, only the fourth timein history that has happened. The 'Houndshad a streak of seven consecutive top twofinishes from 1976-82, and six in a rowbetween from 1984-89. Anderson won thefirst seven state championships that wereconducted by the IHSAA, dating from1946 to 1952.

Carmel scored 94 points, with four of

its runners finishing in the team top 20.Keelan Grant led the Greyhounds byplacing 14th; he scored 10 team points forCarmel. Grant was followed by ColinMurphy in 18th place (13 points). BenMyers and Calvin Bates were 33rd and34th respectively, but scored 18 and 19points. Ben Miller finished the teamscoring by coming in 57th, and his 34points clinched the deal for Carmel.

The Tigers were next in line with 152points, returning to the runner-up spot thatthey held in 2015. Fishers won the statechampionship in 2007, in only the school'ssecond season since re-opening.

Sam Kuhn led the Tigers by taking15th place, which resulted in 11 teampoints. Ethan Meyer took 26th place,scoring 16 points. At that point Fishers wasfacing competition from Westview, whichhad two runners score low - five and eightpoints respectively.

But the Tigers more than made up thedifference in their next three runners.William Clark scored 27 points (finishing46th overall), making up some ground afterWestview's third runner scored 33 points.

Fishers then quickly closed its scoringwhen Alex Meyer and Thomas Brelagefinished within 1.8 seconds of each other,scoring 48 and 50 points respectively. Theissue was settled once the Warriors' fourthrunner scored 56 points. Overall, AlexMeyer placed 75th and Brelage was 79th.

Final girls’ soccer game against Penn. But when it did, theNo. 1 nationally ranked opposition capitalized en route to2-0 win over the Golden Eagles. As a result, undefeatedPenn (23-0-1) claimed its second IHSAA championshipin a row, with this one coming at the Sellick Bowl atButler.

Guerin coach Jonathan McClure was thinking aboutopportunities missed and the importance of scoring early.

“It was critical, it could have created a momentum shiftfor us,” he said. “There were some things that could havebeen considered but they weren’t.”

The Golden Eagles were game Friday night in thefinals, putting up a stout defensive effort. But in the end,there was a little too much offense pressure from theAll-American laden Kingsmen. Guerin’s strategy wasapparent early, as it fell back on defense and resistedtaking many offensive chances.

“Obvious they have weapons all over the field, theyhave pace all over the field, they have confidence,”McClure said. “I think their resume being here the thirdyear in a row started to show itself and when things didn’tgo their way, you know, they’ve been here and that’swhere are going,”

It worked well in the first half, as the half endedscoreless. But when the action heated up in the second,Penn found chances to squeeze into scoring position for apair of goals seven mintes apart. Florida State boundKristina Lynch assisted on both at the 53 and 60-minutemarks.

“We let Molly loose and she made an unbelievabletouch, smashing in that first goal, and now you are playingcatchup with a team that hasn’t lost in two years,” McCluresaid.

Penn out shot Guerin Catholic 13-5 in the contest, asit was the aggressors on offense for most of the game.Maya Lacognato for Penn led with five shots on goal. ForGuerin, Adele Stradling led with two shots on goal.Defensively for Guerin, Malorie Bestard, Nici Gordon,Evelyn Bestard, and Megan Wampler battled hard againstPenn, forcing the talented Kingman to work for everything

they got.The Golden Eagles got their best chance of the night

when Anna Schulthies’ left footer from eight feet almostcrossed the goal line, if not for a tremendous save by thePenn goalie. The shot occurred midway through the firsthalf, and it was the best chance for either team.

Claire Gavin, in goal for Guerin, was terrific with fivesaves on the night, including a pair of clutch corrals ofPenn chances. Her counterpart from Penn delivered twosaves of her own and was an asset in the defensive passinggame for the Kingsmen.

The momentum might have changed against GuerinCatholic after defender Malorie Bestard was issued ayellow card after aggressive play with two minutes left inthe half. The penalty kick found its way to the midsection

of Gavin, and it gave Penn its first taste of a goal.The Golden Eagles withstood Penn’s pressure for most

of the contest but in the second half, the Kingsmen finallybroke through. Molly McLaughlin scored for Penn on across from Lynch from about 15 yards out. Lynch fol-lowed it up with another assist, finding Lacognato in frontof the goal as she dribbled in from the left side of the post.

A left foot blast by Guerin’s Elle Vuotto from a cornerkick sailed just over the crossbar with nine minutes left.Kelsie Smith scrambled for control of the ball in front ofthe Penn goal minutes later, and her shot also flew overthe crossbar.

Guerin Catholic finished its season with a 16-2-1record.
