OLYMPIANS
Class 4A,
Sectional 15
Hoosier
Hills Conference
October 24, 2008
Looking Ahead
CLASS 4A, SECTIONAL 15
First-Round Opponent:
Columbus
East
Time:
7 p.m.
Location:
At Columbus East High
School
Records:
Seymour (4-5
overall, 4-3 in the Hoosier Hills Conference); Columbus East (9-0
overall, 7-0 in the Hoosier Hills Conference).
State Rankings:
Columbus East
(No. 1 AP, No. 1 IFCA in Class 4A).
Sagarin Ratings:
Seymour
(No. 121 Overall; No. 29 in Class 4A); Columbus East (No. 6 Overall; No.
2 in Class 4A).
Sagarin Game
Prediction:
East by 29.
Last Week:
Columbus East won
the HHC championship outright with a 44-6 win over Bedford North
Lawrence behind a 189-yard rushing performance by Joumeel McLaurine.
Meanwhile, Seymour beat Madison, 35-7, after a 28-7 second half
performance.
Regular-Season Meeting:
In one of
its closest games of the season, the East defeated the Owls, 44-14.
Next Week:
The winner will face the winner of the South Dearborn-Madison
game. An East win would send the Olympians on the road to face either
the Knights or the Cubs. If Seymour wins, it would host Madison or go to
South Dearborn.
Last Year:
East won its second straight sectional championship and third in four
years. It was the Olympians’ fifth sectional title in school history.
The Olympians did not meet Seymour, which lost to East Central in the
first round, en route to the sectional title.
The “Inside” Scoop:
Three years ago, Seymour shocked the Olympians in the first round of
Sectional 15 play. As good as that East team was, this one is much, much
better and less susceptible to an upset.
Scoop’s Pick:
Columbus East 45, Seymour 7.

Winners
Favorite:
Columbus East. As much of a favorite as a favorite
can be.
Darkhorse:
East Central. In a normal year, the 8-1 Trojans
would be a favorite to win a sectional -- if not more.
This season, however, they have to hope for a miracle
against No. 1 East.
Best
Player: Dusty Kiel. If the voters in Indiana are
sane, the Olympians' senior quarterback is the
hands-down Mr. Football. Unfortunately, they're not
sane.
X-Factor:
Columbus East's health. This is the only thing I can
think of that could stop the Olympians. They have had
some healthy issues and injuries probably stopped them
from winning the 2007 4A championship.
Scoop's
Picks
First
Round:
Shelbyville
41, Franklin County 14; East Central 43, Connersville

The
"Inside" Scoop: Not much needs to be said;
East in a landslide.

EAST FINISHES UNBEATEN
The Olympians go 9-0 in Regular Season with
4-6 win over Stars
Columbus East topped off its fifth straight
Hoosier Hills Conference championship by
going 7-0 in league play with a 44-6 win
over Bedford North Lawrence on Friday.
The victory clinched East's third outright
HHC championship in four years.
The Olympians were led by senior running
back Joumeel McLaurine, who had the finest
performance of his career with 189 yards and
four touchdowns.
He scored once in each quarter; including
the game's opening score on a 32-yard run.
He continued to stretch the score with a
23-yard TD run in the second quarter to give
the Olympians a 21-3 lead; a 33-yard run to
give East an 28-6 advantage; and a
fourth-quarter score from 47 yards out to
give the O's their final 44-6 lead.
The East defense held the Stars to 203 total
yards and finished the regular season only
allowing 57 total points, most of which came
against its second team.
Clayton Miller led the defense with eight
tackles and a tackle for loss. Anthony
Miller intercepted his HHC-best sixth pass.
Damon Megerle, who had a 6-yard TD run on
offense, had two tackles, a tackle for loss
and a forced fumble on defense.
Top-rated East begins its quest to win its
second Class 4A championship on Friday when
it hosts 4-5 Seymour on Friday in the first
round of Sectional 15 play. The Owls beat
Madison 35-14 on Friday and were an overtime
loss from winning their last three
regular-season games.
Bedford hosts Floyd Central on the same
night in the first round of Sectional 8
action. The Highlanders finished the regular
season 5-4 after upsetting New Albany in a
35-34 come-from-behind victory in their
regular-season finale.

Records:
Columbus East (8-0
overall, 6-0 in the Hoosier Hills Conference); Bedford North Lawrence

Sagarin Game
Prediction:
Columbus East by 23.
Last Week:
Columbus East
clinched at least a share of its fifth straight conference championship
– a feat never before accomplished in the HHC – by beating
Jeffersonville, 34-6. Jeff scored the game’s first TD before the
Olympians ran off 34 consecutive points. BNL won its fourth straight
game, 47-7 over Madison, behind QB Jacob Perry, who rushed for 205 yards
on 10 carries and threw for another 91 yards. He rushed for two
touchdowns and threw for two more.
Last Year vs. Bedford
North Lawrence:
East clinched its fourth straight HHC championship with a 44-6 revenge
victory over the Stars, who upset the Olympians to end the 2006 regular
season and share the title with East.
Last 10 Years vs.
Bedford North Lawrence:
Columbus East 8-2. The
Olympians have won eight of the last nine meetings.
The “Inside” Scoop:
I think this game is destined to be the title game year-in and year-out.
This year, though – as much as I like Bedford – there’s a huge talent
gap.
Scoop’s Pick:
Columbus East 42, Bedford North Lawrence 10.

EAST EARNS FIFTH STRAIGHT HHC CROWN
Olympians score 34 straight points in
another big win
By scoring 34 consecutive points, Columbus
East became the first Hoosier Hills
Conference team ever to win a fifth straight
HHC title.
In the past four years, the Olympians have
won three outright titles and tied with
Bedford North Lawrence in 2006. East meets
the Stars next Friday to try to avoid a
three-way tie with BNL and New Albany.
Jeffersonville recovered its own onside kick
on the opening kickoff and drove for the
game's first points, which culminated in a
Jamie Goldsmith 13-yard TD run.
It was the first time all season an
opponents has scored a first-quarter
touchdown against the Olympians.
They responded immediately and then slowed
pulled away from the Red Devils.
By the end of the first quarter, East led
14-6 after Dusty Kiel completed TD passes to
Dywice Wilson (19 yards) and Shane Henderson
(five yards).
The Olympians scored a TD in each of the
next three periods. Kiel had a hand in all
five East scores.
In the second period, the 2007 ITG
"Player of the Year," scored on a 5-yard
run. Early in the third quarter, he hit
Wilson on an 80-yard TD pass. Then, in the
fourth, he ran one in from eight yards out.
Kiel finished with 228 yards and three
touchdowns passing and 128 yards and two
scores on the ground.
Wilson caught six passes for 169 yards and
two scores.
Defensively, the Olympians held Jeff to 234
total yards and just 12 first downs. They
held Goldsmith, an All-State candidate, to
just 69 yards on 18 carries.
Anthony Miller had two more interceptions on
defense and now leads East with five. Devon
Davis had 10 tackles, four tackles for loss
and blocked kick.
Caleb Browner and Bryson Florence led the
Jeff defense with nine tackles apiece. Ryan
Pierce had eight tackles, a tackle for loss
and two passes defended.
Jeffersonville (3-5) completes its regular
season next Friday at Jennings County. The
Red Devils face the winless Panthers two
next two weeks, with the second being the
first round of Sectional 8 play
Bedford North Lawrence -- East's final
regular-season opponents -- won its fifth
fourth game, 47-7 over Madison on Friday.
The Stars are 6-2.
