FB: Only two CIC teams remain after week one of sectional

Staff Report

Unfortunately,
there were no surprises for the CIC in first round sectional play. The two
league teams expected to win, Eastbrook and Madison-Grant, did so and the other
six conference teams saw their seasons end.

The highly
ranked Panthers received a stern first round test at Leo. They eventually
subdued the Lions 33-26. Madison-Grant had no such trouble in breezing past
Wabash 55-21. Eastbrook will now face Harding, a surprise winner over Norwell
in week one of the tourney. Madison-Grant advances to face Winchester who
downed CIC companion Oak Hill 14-6.

Elsewhere in the league, the Mid-Indiana
Conference was the primary villain. Four CIC teams fell to opponents from that
conference. Frankton was downed by Cass 31-0, Taylor bounced Alexandria 35-21,
Powerful Northwestern polished off Elwood 61-0, and Mississinewa fell to Peru
31-0. That leaves Blackford who had the unenviable task of facing the defending
state champion Bellmont. The Braves proved unkind as they downed the Bruins
50-0.
