The Clark County Indians suffered their third straight loss of the season at South Shelby on Friday evening, September 18.

The Cardinals had a 74-yard touchdown run called back by a penalty on the first play from scrimmage. It didn’t matter, South Shelby drove the distance to score. Their two point attempt failed, and the Cardinal led 6-0 with 5:54 in the first quarter.

After trading possessions, the Indians go the ball at the Cardinal 35-yard line after a short punt. Runs by Wyatt Randall and Drew Holsted put the Indians in the end zone with 1:31 remaining in the first quarter. A two-point run by Randall put Clark County up 8-6.

The Cardinals scored three times in the second quarter, including a 60-yard run with 33 seconds left to take a 26-8 lead. Their two-point conversion was good, and the teams headed to the locker rooms with South Shelby leading 28-6.

The Cardinals added another touchdown late in the third quarter to pull ahead 34-8. An extra point kick made it 35-8.

Clark County droved 73 yards in 11 plays on the next possession, scoring on a run by Randall with 7:29 left in the game.

The Indians benefited from a Cardinal fumble on their next possession, and they turned the opportunity into points, scoring on a run by Lucus Eddleman. The two-point attempt failed. With 1:54 remaining in the contest, Clark County trailed 35-20, which was the final score.

The Indians had 239 yards of total offense, compared to the Cardinals’ 373 yards. They rushed for 211, passed for 28.
