Hamilton Southeastern dropped its Hoosier Crossroads Conference opener to Avon Friday, falling 38-7 at Royals Reynolds Stadium.
The Orioles, who are receiving votes in the 6A poll, broke a 7-7 first-quarter tie with two more touchdowns in that period, then jumped ahead 31-7 at halftime. Southeastern’s score was on a 94-yard kickoff return to Jack Boyd, with Tyler Melser making the extra-point kick.
Cody Huppenthal led the Royals’ rushing, with 37 yards.
Southeastern is now 1-2, and travels to Fishers next Friday for the Mudsock game.
