Fishers rolled to a 37-8 win over Franklin Central Friday in a Hoosier Crossroads Conference game at the Tigers’ TCU Field.
Fishers got on the board in the first quarter when John Tangara kicked a 23-yard field goal. The Tigers extended their lead in the second period when Carson Dunn made a 10-yard touchdown run, and Collin McPeek teamed with Lucas Minns for a 26-yard touchdown pass.
The Flashes scored late in the second quarter, so Fishers led 16-8 at halftime. But the Tigers ran away with the game in the fourth period: Dunn blasted off on an 80-yard touchdown run, Jeffrey Simmons collected a 13-yard touchdown pass from Minns, and Brady Wolf took an 80-yard interception return into the end zone.
Dunn finished the game with 114 yards rushing, while Minns was 10-of-17 through the air, totaling 124 yards. Dunn, Simmons and Luke Valerio all had three receptions. Jack Alvarez led the tackles with seven, while Zach Willard and Chris Rhoades both made one sack each.
