GJHS football

Tuesday, the Greensburg Junior High Football teams traveled to South Dearborn to take on the Knights.

The Pirate eighth grade jumped out to an early 22-0 lead with touchdown passes to Chance Richards and two to Max Buening and hung on to bring home a victory 22-16.

The Pirates were led offensively by quarterback Matthew Fields, who threw for 179 yards through the air with three touchdowns, and two extra point conversions through the air to Mason Herpel and Richards.

Catching passing on the night were Buening, Josh Alexander, Herpel and Richards.

The rushing yards were again hard to come by against a stubborn Knights defensive front. Mason Herpel and Josh Alexander did most of the work for the running backs but also receiving carries on the night were Carson Beagle, James Harmeyer and Fields.

The Pirates defense of Carson Beagle, Levi Muckerheide, Tank Wyllie, Dustin Herrera-Nah, Max Grimes, Alexander, Herpel, Buening Richards and Henry Cunningham was solid. Herpel, Beagle and Herrera-Nah led an early game surge to lead the team in tackles for losses and sacks. South Dearborn was held to 170 yards of offensive, mostly in the second half.

The Pirate seventh grade fell 44-16. The game was much closer than the score indicated as the Pirates lost their starting quarterback midway through the second quarter and were unable to right the ship in the second half.

Leading the young Pirates offensively were Jai Jackson, Bentley Sageser, Chance Westerfeld, Aaden Dolan, Zach Watkins and Blaine Keller.

Jai Jackson rushed for two scores and one extra point and Sageser ran in a 2-point conversion.

Leading the defense were Jackson, Watkins, Westerfeld, Daelyn Bandy, Blaine Keller and Luke Stier.

The Pirates are on the road again Saturday at Lawrenceburg.
