Indian Creek didn’t need a blowout to make its case. The Braves needed a stop.
In a matchup of ranked Class 3A programs — a top-10 3A game entering the week — Indian Creek led Tri-West 19-6 at halftime and didn’t score after the break. Tri-West made it 19-12. The Braves held on.
That result, more than any of the previous four, tells you what Indian Creek is.
Through the first four weeks of the season, the Braves had scored at least 35 points every time they took the field — 52-7 over Western, 49-13 over Heritage Christian, 35-14 over Greenwood, 35-0 over Monrovia. Comfortable wins that confirmed Indian Creek could score. What Friday night confirmed is that they can also protect a lead when the offense goes quiet and the game tightens.
190 points scored. 46 allowed. Five wins. Three of them in Hoosier Legends Conference play. Indian Creek sits alone at the top of the HLC standings at 3-0 with a ranked scalp on the résumé.
