Tigers held off by Brownsburg, 39-21

A rough third quarter at Brownsburg sent Fishers to a 39-21 Hoosier Crossroads Conference loss on Friday night.
The Class 6A No. 5 Bulldogs led 10-0 midway through the second quarter. The Tigers got on the board when Khobie Martin made an 18-yard touchdown run midway through the period. Markell Taylor kicked the extra point, and Fishers was within 10-7 at halftime.
But Brownsburg erupted for 20 points in the third period, scoring its first touchdown just 20 seconds into the quarter, and another one near the midpoint of the period. The Bulldogs led 23-7 before Carson Dunn interrupted the run by punching the ball in from the one-yard line.
Lucas Minns sent a two-point conversion pass to Collin McPeek, and the Tigers cut Brownsburg’s lead to 23-15. But the Bulldogs scored on a short run at the very last second of the period, and were up 30-15.
Fishers opened the fourth quarter with a four-yard scoring pass from Minns to Jeffrey Simmons, keeping the Tigers within 30-21. Brownsburg would allow them no more points, adding on nine more to ensure the win.
Minns finished the game 13-of-20, totaling 176 yards. Simmons made five catches, while Dunn rushed for 52 yards. Grady Stanley led the Fishers defense with nine tackles (eight solo and one assist).
The Tigers dropped to 1-2 in the HCC and 3-2 overall. Fishers hosts Avon next Friday.
