Two of the most dominant programs in Indiana history, take the field tonight in what is sure to be an epic match-up. When you talk about Indiana high school football, Ben Davis and Warren Central are two programs mentioned first. The amount of titles, division one players and toe-to-toe records go out the window tonight.

Key Factors
No.1 BEN DAVIS: Senior Quarterback Kyle Castner is off to a fantastic start this season and is a front-runner for the coveted Indiana’s Mr. Football. Knowing Castner, a win tonight is all he’s thinking about. The Giants will need a solid night running the football, expect Senior Dorian Tate to be the difference in tonight’s game. The defense has displayed a “bend but don’t break” type of style in big games against Pike and Center Grove. Last week they shout out a Center Grove team. However, it may come down to the defense holding late again, if the Giants allow Warren Central to get their run game going.
No.3 WARREN CENTRAL: All American Mykelti Williams will need to be Mr. All Everything for Warren to leave the field with a win. He’s a proven two-way player and his services will be needed on the offense tonight. The Warrior offense will need to get Running Back Tirone Young the ball often. If they’re able to run the ball effectively, eat up clock and keep the Giants off the field. The Warriors may sneak away with the win.
Winner
BEN DAVIS 28-24
This game will more than likely come down to the final drive, but I expect the Giant’s offense to capitalize on every possession in the second half.
