Friday night at on High School Playbook, two southern Indiana schools play for regional championships.
One is Paoli… the other is our Morehead State University School of the Week…
Floyd Central!
It was a history making moment for Floyd Central football when they beat Castle last Friday and earned the program's first sectional championship since 1998.
The win gave the team a 9-3 record in just the third year under head coach Brian Glesing.
A win would be the school's first-ever regional championship.
Most importantly, it would fficially put Highlanders' football back on the map after a number of down years.
The secret to their success has been a productive offense, led by quarterback Max Guenther.
They've also got an opportunistic defense and a dramatically improved strength program which has added stamina and a power game to the Floyd Central resume.
While they're proud of the dramatic improvement, the Highlanders see this as a journey, not a destination.
There are much bigger goals on the horizon, regardless of how 2009 ends.
This team wants to be the building blocks for a program that makes the southern Indiana school a regular in the conversation for state championships.
Floyd Central's regional championship game is Friday night at 7 p.m. at Center Grove, south of Indianapolis.
