Brownsburg at Fishers Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another week of gridiron action is upon us. As Friday night inches closer, we'll look ahead today at one of the top matchups on the docket. It's a top 10 showdown in Class 6A as Brownsburg hits the road to take on Fishers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brownsburg</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Bulldogs enter this week with an unblemished record. The top-ranked team in Class 6A will be hoping to ride it's productive offense to victory. Leading the Bulldog offense is Senior Quarterback [player_tooltip player_id='284228' first='Jayden' last='Whitaker']. Whitaker has been solid throughout the first month of the regular season. He has completed 67 of his 93 pass attempts for 1,011 yards. Whitaker has accumulated 184 rushing yards on 25 carries. He has thrown for seven touchdowns and ran for five. He protects the football well, as he has only thrown one interception thus far.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Their ground-game is led by Junior [player_tooltip player_id='322418' first='Garrett' last='Sherrell']. Sherrell has amassed over 300 yards on 67 carries, averaging in the neighborhood of five yards per tote. Through the air, Whitaker will be looking for [player_tooltip player_id='322414' first='Corey' last='Smith']. The junior has hauled in 14 passes for 346 yards and a trio of touchdown receptions. If classmates Sherrell and Smith can have big outings, it could be a long night for Fishers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On defense, Senior Keegan Moore leads the way. The middle linebacker is off to a terrific start to his final year of high school. He has picked up 28 total tackles. Moore has 19 solo tackles and a pair of tackles-for-loss. Aiding him will be fellow senior, Bryce Patterson. Patterson is a game-wrecker off the edge from his defensive end position. He has totaled 18 tackles with six-and-a-half of those resulting in a loss of yardage. Patterson has tallied three sacks in the first four ballgames.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fishers</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fishers, currently sitting at number eight in the Class 6A state rankings, will be aiming to even up their record with that of Brownsburg. They will have the advantage of the home crowd behind them, but they will also be able to rely on plenty of talent on their own sideline.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Engineering the offense is Senior Luke Minns. Fishers runs the ball extremely well, but that does not diminish Minns' role at all. So far this year, he is 26/47 for 428 yards. He's thrown three touchdowns and five interceptions while running for 141 yards and three touchdowns. One the ground, there is a whole group of prospects that can make their presence felt. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='431287' first='Khobie' last='Martin'] has registered 452 yards. Senior [player_tooltip player_id='107239' first='Carson' last='Dunn'] has added 279 yards. If those two can be solid on the ground, the Brownsburg defense could get tired quickly. Spearheading the passing-game for Fishers is Junior [player_tooltip player_id='322409' first='Joe' last='Syrus']. Syrus has caught 8 passes for 193 receiving yards and one touchdown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Middle Linebacker Ryan Cox is a defensive menace. The junior has notched 27 tackles through the first month of regular season play. 20 of those 27 have been solo stops. Cox has also added one quarterback hurry. Senior Grady Stanley has been all over the field. He has snatched two interceptions in the first four games. Stanley has racked up 25 tackles with one tackle-for-loss.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
