How Brownsburg Shocked Top-Ranked Spaulding

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To the surprise of everyone (except, perhaps, Brownsburg), the Brownsburg Bulldogs – the defending 6A state champions in Indiana – topped nationally-ranked Archbishop Spaulding out of Maryland on Friday night.  The Bulldogs didn't just beat Spaulding, ranked No. 33 in the nation before the season; they won by double-digits and put 36 points on their defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For context, Spaulding gave up 34 points in all of last season's games <strong><u>combined</u></strong>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's no doubt Spaulding has a super-talented roster full of Division I recruits with offers.&nbsp; Still, it's amazing the defending 6A state champs in Indiana played so admirably.&nbsp; Here's a look at how they did it:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

was laser-sharp in the opener, throwing 15-20 for 252 yards and three touchdowns.  Frye is establishing himself as one of Indiana's most coveted recruiting prizes in the 2027 Hoosier State recruting class.  Displaying a great arm with good deep-ball touch and a quick trigger, he looked very cerebral on Friday night as he led his team to victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

State has a very good wideout on Indianapolis' east side, but might Sharpe be even better?  Sharpe has no star rating by most recruiting sites, but he's starting to position himself as a legit Power 4 recruit when college coaches hit the road this winter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

frame and recorded a sack in the Spaulding game.  Based on limited clips, he flashes great instincts, takes great angles to the ball and has good pursuit skills.  He could be a name to know in the future; we'll be keeping an eye on him as he develops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
