Two big plays and solid defense gave Fishers a win at Pike on Friday night.
The Tigers took care of the Red Devils 14-0, which improved Fishers’ record to 2-0 for the season. The Tigers scored their first of two touchdowns early in the first quarter, when Luke Valerio took a 49-yard run into the end zone. Dominic Oliverio then made a two-point conversion run.
Fishers added another touchdown in the third period, with Lucas Minns sending a 60-yard pass to Jeffrey Simmons, who took it in for the score. Simmons had three catches on the night totaling 104 yards.
The Tigers totaled 124 yards on the ground, with Valerio gaining 55 yards and Carson Dunn adding 47 yards. Meanwhile, Fishers’ defense did its job, not allowing Pike any points.
The Tigers will play at Noblesville next Friday to begin Hoosier Crossroads Conference play.
