Tigers start strong before No. 1 Avon rallies

Hamilton County Reporter

Fishers put a scare into Indiana’s top-ranked high school football team Friday
night.

The Tigers, playing in front of their Homecoming crowd, went up 14-0 on Avon after one quarter of play. But the Class 6A No. 1 Orioles asserted themselves in the next three quarters, holding Fishers scoreless and scoring five touchdowns to hand the 6A No. 9 Tigers a 35-14 Hoosier Crossroads Conference defeat.

Fishers scored both of its touchdowns in the middle portion of the first period.
Dylan Scally took an 18-yard run into the end zone, then Marcus Roux connected
on a 15-yard TD pass to Reece Boland. Jack Phillips converted both extra-point
kicks.

The Orioles got on the board in the second quarter, cutting Fishers’ lead to
14-7 at halftime. Avon then added two touchdowns in each of the next two periods. Orioles quarterback Henry Hesson took over the game, throwing four passing touchdowns and running 35 yards for Avon’s final score of the game.

Roux finished the game 10-of-17, totaling 61 yards, with Boland catching three of those passes. Scally rushed 21 times for 80 yards.

The Tigers are 2-2 in conference play and 4-2 overall. Fishers will remain at
home next week, taking on Franklin Central.
