Westfield picked up another Hoosier Crossroads Conference win on Friday, traveling to Avon and coming home with a 45-24 victory.
The Orioles got on the board first with a field goal midway through the first period. The Shamrocks had to wait until there was one second left in the opening quarter, but they made it count: Maximus Webster connected with Gabe Aramboles for a six-yard touchdown.
With that, Westfield’s offense began to heat up. Webster ran 23 yards for a score early in the second period, then he and Aramboles teamed up for another touchdown midway through the quarter, this one for 19 yards. The Orioles also scored twice in the period, but the ‘Rocks led 21-17 at halftime.
Caleb King extended that led to 24-17 early in the third period by kicking a 42-yard field goal. Avon tied the game with a long passing touchdown at the four-minute mark of the quarter, but Trevon Hatchett got Westfield back in front right away, taking the kickoff 98 yards into the end zone for a go-ahead touchdown that kept the ‘Rocks in front for good.
Then Westfield got a last-second score again: Micah Hauser punched the ball in from the one-yard line with one second left in the third quarter. Finally, Webster and Jackson Wasserstrom completed the scoring with a 24-yard touchdown pass play with 10:49 left in the fourth.
Webster completed 14 of 20 pass attempts for 207 yards. Aramboles totaled five receptions, and Hauser rushed for 108 yards. King was 6-for-6 on extra point attempts. Tyler Dikos had 12 tackles on the night; both he and Popeye Williams made one sack.
Westfield is still unbeaten in the HCC at 5-0 and is 6-1 overall. The Shamrocks host Fishers next Friday.
