The Brownsburg boys basketball team split their two games this weekend. On Friday, the Dogs lost to Fishers 59-45. The game was tied at the half, but BBurg could not get over the top. It was a lackluster effort in the third quarter (Fishers 18-10) and it continued in the 4th (Fishers 20-14). Jacob Eldridge led the Bulldogs with 17 points. On Saturday, the Dogs played county rival Plainfield and won 72-54. The Quakers had played a 2-OT game the night before, so the Dogs looked to run. The game was close early, but BBurg used a 36-21 run over the middle two quarters to assure the victory. Torrey Nibbs led the Dogs with 21 points as it was the first game this year where he was not in foul trouble. Three other Bulldogs were in double figures as Jacob Eldridge scored 16, Kurtis Runyon had 15, and Levi Roach scored 12. The Dogs travel to Zionsville on Friday and then host Pike on Saturday.
The Brownsburg girls basketball team cruised to a victory over Danville on Friday night, 49-34. Erica Lesch and Stefanie Mavunga led the team with 10 points each. They used a 24-15 second half to put the game away. The team travels to Center Grove on Tuesday and Harrison on Saturday. Neither game should be very close as Center Grove is a top 10 team according to the Sagarin Ratings and Harrison is in the bottom 10 of Class 4A.
Central Michigan won the MAC championship on Friday, beating Ohio 20-10. MAC player of the year Dan Lefevour threw for 255 yards and 2 TDs and ran for 51 yards. In the game, Lefevour broke the D1 combined touchdown record and later in the game threw a touchdown pass that broke Chad Pennington's MAC passing TD record. CMU dominated the entire night on both offense and defense. They went out to a 10-0 lead before Ohio used a trick play to cut the score to 10-7. The Chippewas fired back to score a TD to make the game 17-7 at the half. Each team kicked a figgie in the second half for the final score. The bowl projections show that CMU will go to the GMAC bowl, while Ohio could stay in Detroit and go to the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl. Other MAC projections show Temple to the International Bowl, Bowling Green to the Humanitarian and Northern Illinois to the Eagle Bank bowl. The bowl selections will be announced this evening.
The 3-8 Redskins host the undefeated Saints at 1pm today. The Saints are coming off a big Monday night win over New England and the Skins are reeling from a tough loss to the Eagles. I think the Skins defense can hold the Saints to 28 points, which is 9 below their average. However, I don't think that we can score more than those 28 points to get the win. We have to run the ball to keep the Saints offense off of the field. We have been held to under 90 yards rushing in 6 of our 11 games. New Orleans is a 9 point favorite and the over under is 47. It will be 36 degrees and Sunny in Landover today, so the weather could be a factor for a dome team like the Saints.
