Fishers had a tough opening to its 2018 season, as the Tigers fell to North Central 31-7 in a Hoosier Crossroads Conference-Metropolitan Conference showdown Friday at the Panthers’ field.
The Panthers scored at least one touchdown in each of the four quarters, while it took Class 6A No. 8 Fishers until the fourth quarter to get in the end zone. Mason McCartney caught a six-yard pass from Jon Vore, then Jack Phillips made the ensuing extra point kick. That was the last score of the game for either team.
HL Lewis led the Tigers offense, rushing 22 times for 104 yards. Vore complete 13 of 36 passes, totaling 103 yards.
Thomas Adams led the Fishers receiving contingent with four catches, followed by McCartney and Nick Leath with three receptions each.
The Tigers will play their first home game next Friday, taking on another MIC team in Pike. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Reynolds Tigers Stadium.
