If you can
figure out where the Sagamore race is headed, please apply for a job at NASA.
They need you. Halfway through the conference season, four teams are tied atop
the standings at 3-1. They are North Montgomery, Lebanon, Southmont, and
Western Boone. The state pollsters are giving the Chargers and Stars more love
than anybody else. North Montgomery is eighth in this week’s 3A poll after
knocking Western Boone from the ranks of the undefeated. The Stars still
received votes and claimed the 17th spot this week.

 

All of that
means exactly nothing when it comes to the league race.  The picture is this. Every team has one of
the other contenders left on it schedule. The exception is Western Boone which
still has to play both Southmont and Lebanon. Now, just in case you think you
can swim your way through the schedules and pick a favorite, try this on for
size. North Montgomery blasted Western Boone the week after Lebanon handed the
Chargers their first loss. Southmont, who had fallen hard to North Montgomery
earlier, dumped Lebanon last week. Enjoy watching your own head explode wading
through all of this.

FB: Turnovers the difference in Southmont’s 28-14 win at Tri-West

Posted on 19 September 2009 by .

By Jeff Hodge
Contributing Writer
LIZTON – It looked like it was going to be a long night Sept. 18 for host Tri-West Hendricks when senior quarterback John Frederick was intercepted by Southmont senior defensive back Tanner Hill on the opening play. 
Turns out that was some solid foreshadowing as Southmont scored a touchdown in each period and dominated on the ground in posting a 28-14 Sagamore Conference victory.
Following the pick, Southmont (3-2 overall, 2-1 in league play) took its opening drive 53 yards in 10 plays for an early 7-0 lead when senior quarterback Logan Petry scored from one yard out. The Mounties’ defense then forced the Bruins (1-4, 0-3) to punt on their next possession, and Southmont went on another lengthy drive as 12 plays covered 74 yards in 5:02.
The Mounties had the ball on the Tri-West 1 to start the second quarter, and senior Jordan Burkett made it 14-0 for the Mounties with his one-yard run.
 
But Tri-West freshman Cody Coll returned the ensuing kickoff 33 yards, giving the Bruins excellent field position at their own 45. Three plays later, Coll scored from 10 yards out to cut the deficit 14-7.
It was all Coll (nine carries for 73 yards) as the big play on the Bruins’ drive was his 37-yard dash around right end on the first play from scrimmage. 
The Bruins then rallied the home crowd two plays later when sophomore Austin Moxley recovered a fumble by Tanner Hill at the Southmont 40. But the Tri-West offense bogged down after huge chop-block penalty and was forced to punt the ball away.
 
The teams traded punts on their next possessions and headed to halftime with the score still 14-7. 
Southmont came out after halftime and re-established control. The Mounties took their opening drive 65 yards in 3:16 to open up a 21-7 lead when Petry kept the ball on an option play left, weaving his way through a now-weary Bruin defense to score unharmed at the 8:39 mark.
The remainder of the third quarter was just a battle of field position as neither team could sustain a drive. 
Then the Bruins and their spread offense took over at their 35 with 1:42 remaining in the period. After struggling to find a receiver, Frederick scampered 16 yards on the first play of the fourth quarter to close within 21-14.
 
After Tri-West forced another Southmont punt, it looked like the Bruins might just be able to score again. But on 4th and 1, the Bruins decided to punt.
The normally safe play backfired, however, when the Mounties shot the gap, with senior Chance Allen blocking the kick to give Southmont the ball at the Tri-West 25.
It took only four plays for the Mounties to score. Burkett took a pitch left from Petry around the end for 13 yards with just under seven minutes to play, and the score stayed at 28-14.
 
Petry (19 carries, 79 yards) was excited about how the offense played and gave all the credit to his offensive line, which allowed Southmont to own a 246-136 advantage in rushing yards. Meanwhile, third-year coach Desson Hannun was very pleased at how his Mounties had performed. 
“It wasn’t pretty, but we got the job done,” Hannum said. “This team is getting better every week and just building a foundation one day at a time.” 
Next up for Southmont is a Sept. 25 home game vs. upstart Lebanon (4-1, 3-0), a 37-29 upset Week 5 winner over 3A seventh-ranked North Montgomery. Tri-West will host Crawfordsville (0-5, 0-3), a 35-24 loser to visiting Beech Grove.

NEW MARKET - Austin Burton's monster defensive game lifted Southmont's football team to some school history.

Southmont
High School's sophomore defensive back turned into a one-man recovery
crew Friday night - picking up - and off - whatever turnovers came his
way.

Burton recovered two fumbles and intercepted a pass all
in the first half in Southmont's 21-6 home victory over Sagamore
Athletic Conference rival Danville.

It marked the first time
the Mounties had beaten the Warriors in school history and ended their
12-game losing streak to Danville.

"Two of the three times, I
was in the right place at the right time. With the two fumbles, it was
a coincidence. On the interception, I made a good read and the ball
came to me," Burton said. "[The win] means a lot. It feels like we can
beat everyone in the conference if we practice hard and play to our
ability."

Southmont (2-2, 1-1 SAC) evened up its overall and conference record, doing it with defense.

The Mounties held the Warriors to just nine yards on 21 carries and shut down their ground game.

They forced three turnovers, didn't make any themselves and stopped Danville on four of six fourth-down conversion attempts.

That's how they dropped the Warriors for the first time since joining the conference in 1999.

"I
told the kids you're playing for Mountie football players in the past
and present," third-year coach Desson Hannum said. "The kids should
feel proud of accomplishing something like that."

Danville (1-3, 1-2 SAC) committed all three of its turnovers in the first 14 minutes.

Southmont
scored on its opening possession, with junior running back Micah
Hatch's nine-yard touchdown run giving the Mounties a 7-0 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, Burton recovered a fumble at the Danville 30-yard-line and Southmont quickly went to work.

Three plays later, the Mounties took a 14-0 lead on senior running back Tanner Hill's one-yard score.

On
the Warriors next possession, Burton intercepted Danville sophomore
quarterback Jon Pedigo (16-of-41, 180 yards) on a fourth-and-nine
attempt.

Two series later, Burton came up with his third
turnover - beating out Hill and diving for a fumble recovery at the
Danville 15-yard-line after Pedigo couldn't hang onto the football.

"[Tanner]
said if I wouldn't have touched it, he would've been able to scoop and
score," said Burton, who recorded his first two fumble recoveries of
his career. "I was just securing the ball."

Three plays later, the Mounties secured a three-touchdown lead.

With another short field, Hatch scored from a yard out to put them up 21-0 with 6:36 to play in the second quarter.

Hatch
led the Mounties in rushing, finishing with 56 yards on 18 carries and
scoring two short-yardage touchdowns. Senior Jordan Burkett added 47
yards on nine carries.

Southmont finished with 131 yards rushing on 46 carries.

Still, Hannum wished they could have done some more damage after scoring all 21 points in the first half.

"We're
happy with the victory and evening up our conference record. But, by no
means, are we happy with our second-half performance," he said. "The
kids know we have to get first downs and put the game out of reach."

Burton,
though, acknowledged the defense accomplished what they set out to do -
stop the run. The turnovers, well, those were just a bonus.

"From
the get-go, we wanted to stop the run," Burton said. "We knew our
secondary could stop the pass. We just need to come out and stop the
run."

FB: Danville turnovers help Southmont to 21-6 victory

Posted on 12 September 2009 by .

CRAWFORDSVILLE – Led by sophomore defensive back Austin Burton, Southmont’s defense got off to a fast start Sept. 11 in a 21-6 Sagamore Conference win over visiting Danville. Burton recovered two fumbles and intercepted a Jon Pedigo pass to help lead the Mounties’ defensive attack.

(CHECK THE GALLERY FOR GAME PICTURES FROM RYAN MANERS OF RUSTED ROOF PHOTOGRAPHY!!)

Southmont’s defense was key as the Mounties (2-2 overall, 1-1 in conference play) held Danville (1-3, 1-2) to only nine yards on the ground. It was the first time in school history that Southmont had defeated Danville, ending a 12-game losing streak since the Mounties entered the Sagamore in 1999.

The Mounties jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead just 57 seconds apart in the opening period on touchdown runs of nine yards by Micah Hatch and one yard by Tanner Hill. (Burton’s fumble recovery on the kickoff had given Southmont the ball at the Danville 30.) Southmont pushed the lead to 21-0 midway through the second stanza on another one-yard run by Hatch (18 carries, 56 yards).

Danville finally got on the board with a five-yard pass from Pedigo (16 of 41 for 180 yards and one interception) to Howie Cupp just 57 seconds ahead of the half.

The defenses took over in the second half as there was not another score before game’s end.

Next up for Southmont is a Sept. 18 conference duel at Tri-West Hendricks (1-3, 0-2), a 49-19 Week 4 loser at 3A eighth-ranked North Montgomery. Danville returns home next Friday for a non-conference clash with Whiteland (1-3), a 40-28 Week 4 winner at Greenwood.
