A Northeastern football season highlighted by high-scoring games decided in the final seconds ended with the same: Alexandria held off the Knights 48-40 in a Class 2A, Sectional 36 first-round matchup Oct. 23, on a clear and cool fall evening at Northeastern. The Knights nearly rallied from a three-touchdown deficit, but a determined comeback bid came up 6 yards short in the end.

Talk about putting a damper on Senior Night: Gabe Everhart plunged into the end zone from 2 yards out with 36 seconds remaining for the winning points as Greenfield-Central spoiled the regular-season finale for the Centerville football team Friday, Oct. 16. The final score was Greenfield-Central 14, Centerville 12. In a game played on a soggy night on Marlin Craig Field, Class 5A Greenfield-Central snapped a seven-game losing streak and halted Class 3A Centerville’s three-game winning streak.

One week after Jace Hollendonner used his arm to set a school record, he used his legs to help the Centerville football team continue its late-season winning streak. The Bulldogs spoiled Senior Night for the Trojans on a textbook fall evening at New Castle’s Neal Field. Hollendonner ran for tide-turning touchdowns on back-to-back touches on each side of halftime to give the Bulldogs a lead they would not relinquish in a 41-35 Eastern Crossroads Conference victory at New Castle on Friday, Oct.
