FREIGHT FALL TO BLIZZARD 57-46 ON SATURDAY NIGHT

FISHERS- The Fishers Freight hosted the Green Bay Blizzard on Saturday evening for Star Wars Night. With first place in the league on the line between these two teams, Green Bay took the win after some crucial second half plays.

FIRST QUARTER

The Freight started with the ball and after a six-minute drive down the field, Josiah King broke the plane of the end zone and got the Freight on the board. After a good extra point kick from Calum Sutherland, Fishers went up 7-0. 

On the next kickoff, he added two more points with a deuce. This put the Freight up 9-0. 

Green Bay fired back with a touchdown on their first possession as well. After a good extra point kick from Andrew Mevis, Fishers led 9-7.

King ran in the Freight’s next touchdown with less than two minutes in the first quarter.

Sutherland registered a good kick to put Fishers up 16-7. There was an unsportsmanlike conduct call on King after his touchdown that was banked against the Freight. 

With two seconds to go in the quarter, Green Bay’s Liam Thompson ran in another touchdown. After a good kick from Mevis, the score was 16-14 in favor of the Freight to end the first quarter.

SECOND QUARTER

The Blizzard opened the scoring in the second quarter with a deuce to tie the game, 16-16.

Fishers’ JT Stokes caught the next touchdown pass in the end zone to put the home team up 23-16 after another good extra point kick from Sutherland.

After an unsportsmanlike conduct call pushed the Blizzard back to 3rd and 24, they were forced to try a field goal on fourth down and missed. This was the first possession of the game that did not result in a score. 

Felix Harper made it 29-16 on his own, running the ball into the end zone with about three minutes to go in the first half. After another successful extra point kick from Sutherland, the Freight took the first two-possession lead of the game. 

After taking their first timeout of the half, the Freight forced a turnover and took back possession. Ultimately, they did not score after a missed field goal attempt. 

With under thirty seconds to go, the Blizzard took back possession and scored a quick touchdown courtesy of Demilon Brown. After the extra point, the Freight led 30-23. 

Fishers attempted another field goal to close out the half, but missed. 

THIRD QUARTER

Green Bay scored first in the second half to tie the game, 30-30. 

Things got chippy between both teams and after a series of penalties on both sides, Green Bay scored again to go up 36-30 after the extra point kick was no good.

After it appeared King scored another touchdown, the Freight needed one more play to get it done. It was Harper who scored to make it 37-36 after a good kick. That is how the third quarter ended. 

FOURTH QUARTER

Sutherland opened the final quarter of the game with his second deuce of the game to put the Freight up 39-36.

Jack Studer scored the next touchdown of the game for the Blizzard. After a good kick, Green Bay retook the lead, 43-39.

Fishers’ Dominic Roberto gave the Freight their lead back with a touchdown after earning a first down, just a play before. 

The Freight led 46-43 after a good kick by Sutherland with just under eight minutes to go. 

Green Bay answered back with another touchdown by Terrell Carey to put them ahead 50-46 after a good kick from Mevis. 

Thompson ran the ball into the end zone for another touchdown with under two minutes to go. After a good kick, the Blizzard took a 57-46 lead.

With 38 seconds to go, CJ Windham caught a pass in the back of the end zone to help close the gap. The Freight attempted a two-point conversion but could not complete it. 

That was the score when time expired. The Blizzard took home their second win against the Freight, the only team to do so this season, 57-46. They will meet one more time in the regular season.
