It was a long night in Avon for Fishers Friday, as the Class 6A No. 5 Orioles beat the Tigers 33-0.

Avon scored its first touchdown of the game late in the first quarter, when Sampson James ran the ball in two yards. James would score again eight seconds into the second period, then two field goals gave the Orioles a 20-0 lead at halftime. Avon added one touchdown each in the third and fourth quarters.

Fishers was frustrated by the Orioles’ defense, as the Tigers were allowed only three all-purpose yards and held to negative 10 yards rushing. Dylan Scally had the most yardage, with 12 on six carries. Collin Statz had three catches on the night; Marcus Roux was 4-of-16 throwing the ball.

Fishers is 0-4 in Hoosier Crossroads Conference play, while the Orioles are now 3-1, tied for second in the HCC with Noblesville. Brownsburg continues to lead the conference standings at 4-0, although the Bulldogs got a big scare from Westfield Friday night.

The Tigers are 1-5 overall and will play at new HCC opponent Franklin Central next Friday. This game will kick off at 7:30 p.m.
