Class 3A No. 4 Guerin Catholic heads west to Boone County to face Lebanon. This will be the first meeting between the two.
Guerin’s opener at home saw them win convincingly over McCutcheon, 36-17.
Jack Linden ran in the first GC score in the second and Quentin Klee ran back an interception for a 15-7 halftime lead.
The Golden Eagles outscored the Mavericks 36-10, 15 in the second and 14 in the fourth to seal the win.

Lebanon won in a shootout at home against Pendleton Heights, 48-40.
Noblesville (1-0) at Homestead (0-1)
The Millers have a big road test this week, heading to Fort Wayne to face Homestead. Last year, the Millers shut out the Spartans, 42-0 to tie the series 1-1.
Homestead dropped its opener at Carmel, 34-10.
Noblesville started slow but rattled off 36 points in the middle quarters to push to a 43-24 victory.

Sheridan (0-1) at North Miami (1-0)
The Blackhawks take a road trip north up U.S. 31 for their fourth meeting with North Miami, a series they lead 3-0. The Warriors won last week at home over Northfield, 35-7.

The ‘Hawks were only able to score in the first and second to tie it 14-14, but Western Boone scored three unanswered TDs to win, 35-14. This is the final meeting in the series that began each season since 1997.
