9:33: First down by Tonte seals it for Warren Central. They will win 40-30. Great effort by Carmel, but Warren Central was too much in the fourth quarter.

9:27: WC recovers the onside kick. The Warriors will look to put this game on ice.

9:25: Touchdown Carmel! McDonald hit’s Merriweather on a fade in the back of the end zone. It’s 40-30 Warren Central with 3:43 left.

9:24: Big play by McDonald. He evades some tacklers in the backfield then took off. Nice use of the ref as a screen, too. Down to the 4-yard-line.

9:22: PI on Anderson keeps Carmel’s hopes alive. It’s a first down for the Greyhounds on the Warren Central 27. 40-23 WC with 4:50 to go.

9:15: Tonte again! Good gracious. He sheds tacklers with ease and runs for a 40-yard TD run, and this one looks like it’s over. 40-23 Warren Central. Two-point conversion is good. Tonte again. Of course.

9:13: Dijon Anderson with a huge INT to give the ball back to Warren Central! He was step for step with the WR down the sideline, then jumped high into the air and snatched it out of the air. Great play. Warren trying to put this game on ice.

9:10: Touchdown Warren Central! Guess who? It’s Tristen Tonte. Warriors leads 32-23 with 9:14 to go. Carmel blocked the XP.

9:09: Heck of a play by Summeier. He went to throw a screen, saw it was defended, pulled it down and ran for more than 20 yards and a first down.

9:07: It’s a surprise onside kick, and the Warriors recover! Gutsy call pays off for Warren Central. 10:52 left in the game.

9:06: XP is good. Warren Central leads 26-23.

9:03: Oh my, David Bell. What a catch and touchdown for the sophomore. He just goes up and gets it in the back of the end zone. Looks like he landed funny. Being attended to on the field.

9:02: End of 3: Carmel leads Warren Central 23-19.

9:00: Three plays, three first downs for Warren Central. Getting on track here late in the third.

8:59: Wow. Tonte is such a load to bring down. He just ran over a couple Carmel defenders en route to a first down.

8:57: Connor Coghlan hits another field goal — this from 31 yards away — to put Carmel up 23-19 with about a minute left in the third quarter.

8:55: Oh, no. A great individual effort by McDonald is erased by a holding penalty. He escaped pressure and hit a WR on the run for a TD. But again, it’s coming back.

8:54: Big play by William Schmidt. He shakes off a couple tacklers and gets down to the Warren Central 7.

8:50: Jerome Halsell is on the ground. Just looks like a cramp, though. He just ran off the field. Should be fine, thanfully.

8:45: Schmidt with a big sack of Summeier. This Carmel defense has shut down the Warriors on their last few drives. Impressive.

8:40: Carmel takes a 20-19 lead on a 38-yard field goal by Conner Coghlan. 8:14 left in third quarter.

8:37: Huge run by Jerome Halsell, who just had Warren Central defenders bouncing off of him. 45 yards.

HALFTIME: Warren Central leads 19-17. Greyhounds get ball in the second half.

8:08: Warren Central is bringing all kinds of pressure. Throwing the Greyhounds off their game a bit.

8:07: Damon Wesley with a big sack for the Warriors! His fifth of the year pushes the Greyhounds cack 6 yards.

8:06: Huge INT for Carmel! Summeier’s pass was tipped again, and the Andrew Columbo nabbed it out of the air. Carmel is at the 9 of Warren Central with a minute to go. Huge turn of events here.

8:02: Great play by McDonald improvising there and finding a wide open WR down field. Carmel on the move with 2:25 left in the half. 19-14 Warren Central.

7:57: Another stop for Carmel. This defense came to play. Credit to the Greyhounds coaching staff for making adjustments on the fly and slowing down this Warriors offense.

7:54: Defenses have started showing up. After stops by each team, the Warriors intercept McDonald and will take over at the Greyhounds’ 41.

7:50: Warren Central goes for it, but the Carmel defense holds. Great stop for the Greyhounds. That should been them confidence for the rest of the game.

7:49: Nice play by the Carmel defense. They get a sack of Summeier to force a 3rd-and-long.

7:47: Can’t wait to see that in our highlight package tonight. David Bell dekes and two Carmel defenders dive at his feet as he scoots forward for another few yards.

7:42: First punt of the game. Was beginning to believe we wouldn’t see one of those tonight.

7:39: Big penalty on Warren Central. PI called, and it gives Carmel a first down.

7:32: Touchdown Tonte. No. 2 on the game, 14th of the season. Warriors fail to convert the two-point conversion and lead 19-14.

7:30: Sloppy drive for Warren Central. First, one of Summeier’s passes was tipped and could have been intercepted; then Tonte fumbled, but the Warriors recovered. Couple of lucky breaks.

7:28: These Warren Central receivers, goodness gracious. That was one heck of a catch by Paul Minor, who ripped it out of his defender’s hands.

7:24: Touchdown Carmel! Odid Mowery hauls in a pass to put Carmel up 14-13. Credit the Greyhounds’ protection for giving Jake McDonald plenty of time to throw.

7:22: Jalen Walker is so slippery. Rarely does the first defender bring him down.

7:15: Wow. This is like being at the Pacers game last night. So many points. Warren Central jumps ahead 13-7 (PAT blocked) on a David Bell 3-yard touchdown catch. It’s his 10th of the season. Tonte threw that one by the way. Out of the wildcat. TD was set up by an 87-yard pass from Summeier to Griffie.

7:12: Hey now, Carmel can score quickly too! Jalen Walker takes it in from 38 yards out to even this game at 7-7. Yeah, this game is going to be fun to watch if you like offense. And who doesn’t?

7:11: Big return for the Greyhounds sets them up at midfield.

7:08: Tristen Tonte punches in a 1-yard touchdown run. It’s his 13th of the year. Warriors lead 7-0. They can score so fast.

7:06: Summeier to David Bell for 37 yards. Warriors looking to strike quickly.

7:05: Play-action pass to start. It’s really not fair that the Warriors can fake to a guy as talented as Tristen Tonte, then pull back and throw to a uber-talented receiving corps. So much for the defense to guard against.

7:05: Warren Central will receive, and it’s a touchback. Here comes the electric Warren Central offense.
