Wheeler offered the Indiana Quitline, 1-800-QuitNow, as a resource for trustees tooffer the individuals and families they serve. The free phone-based service includestrained cessation counselors, nicotine replacement, specialized programs for youth andpregnant women and web and text cessation services. Since trustees provide monetaryassistance, recommending eliminating smoking during income and spending assessmentsis a way to help their clients’ physical and financial health.

“The Quitline is a program that’s free, confidential and can be supplemented by other,in person, cessation programs available in the community,” she said. Further informationabout the service can be found at www.indianaquitline.net.

The Partnership for a Healthy Hamilton County was created to respond to the county’sprimary health needs as identified by a Community Health Needs Assessment, an InternalRevenue Service requirement for not-for-profit hospitals (cdc.gov/policy/chna/). Com-munity Health Network, IU Health, St. Vincent Health and Franciscan St. Francis Healthcollaborated to complete the assessment, which included resident surveys and datacollection that measured the effectiveness of current programs and determined outreachto address shortfalls. Aspire Indiana of Carmel and Noblesville, the Hamilton CountyYouth Assistance Program, the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis, Westlink Consulting andGood Samaritan Network of Hamilton County also are represented on the partnership’scouncil.

By DON JELLISONReporter EditorHigh school football, played by 14-

15-16-17 year old young people, isn’talways what it seems to be.

Take, for example, Hamilton Heights’Class 3A, Sectional 28 opener this Fridayat Crawfordsville.

Crawfordsville’s record, for example,may not look all that good. But, on paperthe Athenians have put some numbersinto the book this season.

The Athenians are 3-6. One of thosewins was a 29-7 victory over Class 2ACascade. Another was a 34-31 victoryover 2A Southmont. The third was a for-feit awarded to Crawfordsville by Leba-non after the Tigers won 51-0 on the field.

Crawfordsville’s losses have been toWest Vigo 46-26 Western Boone 49-20,Frankfort 58-22, North Montgomery 73-20, Tri-West 56-21 and Danville 55-0.

But, on paper, Crawfordsville has aquarterback who has tossed for 1,438yards and 14 touchdowns. Trent Johnsonis 115-of-173 through the air. He hasbeen intercepted just five times. Johnsonalso has rushed for 262 yards in 102 trips.He is second in rushing to Cage Godellwho in 70 carries has gained 339 yards.Johnson has two outstanding receivers inDaulton Bridgewater with 33 receptionsfor 346 yards and Tyler Blyeu with 43catches for570 yards.

Take, for example, Hamilton Heights.The Huskies are 6-3 and have won threeof its last four games. But, at Crawfords-ville, Coach Mitch Street’s club will playwithout injured starting quarterbackEthan Jones. For a second time this sea-son Jones went down after being injuredin the second quarter of Heights’ 37-22win last Friday at Northwestern.

“Looking ahead to the playoffs, Ithink we have made some progress thelast two weeks,” said Street. “I waspleased with our offensive performancelast week, and we have played prettysound defense throughout the year. Ourspecial teams also have been sound. Wemust continue to get better as we headinto the playoffs.”

Replacing the senior Jones will be ajunior who has gained plenty of experi-ence this season. Josh Feltz has played inseven games and has completed 40-of-79passes for 530 yards. He has thrown forsix touchdowns but has been interceptednine times.

Feltz has his choice of receivers. Ster-ling Weatherford has 15 catches for 307yards; Jesse Brown 35 for 476; Riley

White 19 for 180, and Caymn Lutz 18receptions for 206 yards.

On the ground, it’s no question whowill have the ball. Junior Clayton Cowanhas carried 205 times for 1,099 yards.

“Cowan is a north/south runner,” saidStreet. “He is big time when he carries theball

“We’ve been playing well,” Streetcontinued. “But, we still haven’t yetplayed a complete game. We’re startingto finish drives, and last week we tookcare of business. We finished drives.

“This is one of toughest sectionals inthe state to win,” Street added.

Feltz will start at QB

By DON JELLISONReporter EditorAt playoff time coaches who are faced

with having to do so always talk about howtough it is to defeat an opponent two timesin one season.

With the Hamilton Southeastern-Fish-ers series, it’s a 50-50 toss up.

Four times in the last five years theRoyals and the Tigers have played Mud-sock 2. They’ll do it again Friday at Reyn-olds Tiger Stadium. The winner willadvance to the Class 6A, Sectional 4 cham-pionship game, facing the winner of anotherfirst round matchup between Noblesvilleand Carmel.

There have been just two sweeps in theseries. Fishers did it in 2014 and Southeast-ern did it in 2011. In 2012, Southeasternwon the regular season game and Fisherswon the sectional tilt. In 2010, Southeasternalso won the regular season game and Fish-ers won the sectional matchup.

This season in a game also played atFishers, Hamilton Southeastern stormedfrom behind in the second half to post a39-33 win. Coach Scott May’s Royals wenton to an 8-1 regular season and finishedundefeated in the Hoosier Crossroads Con-ference. Coach Rick Wimmer’s Tigers fin-ished 6-3, winning their last two games.

Little that happened during the regularseason would lend a clue to the outcome ofthe sectional game. Playing basically thesame opponents, Southeastern scored at a28.3 clip and allowed 19.4 points a game.Fishers averaged 28.1 on offense and 21.8on defense.

“HSE is a great team that has playedwith tremendous confidence and resolvethis season,” said Wimmer. “Offensivelythey have several weapons that can strikequickly. Aaron Matio, Carter Poiry andGreg Miller are certainly playmakers whocan break a game open quickly. Defensive-ly, we must play the run much better thanwe did in our previous meeting and notallow big play in the passing game. Offen-sively, we must protect the football andmove the chains with a balanced attack.They have the best defensive lineman wehave played against in Collin Miller and adefense that has played pretty well of late.Our offensively efficiency and productivity

will need to be very good for us to come outon top.

“We must play four quarters,” Wimmeradded.

Fishers has a balanced attack. Quarter-back Zach Eaton is 106-for-196 through theair for 1,462 yards and 12 touchdowns. Hehas been intercepted just two times. His topreceivers are Kade Orris with 30 receptionsfor 461 yards; Keyshaw Burrell with 21catches for 336 and DeVonte Adams with21 for 258. It is reported that Burrell will beback this week after missing three games.

On the ground, Wimmer has a three-headed monster running the pigskin. Jer-maine Huddleston has carried 95 times for527 yards; Trevor Newman 83 times for474 yards and Jeremy Chinn with 72 tripsfor 454 yards.

“We are the healthiest we have beensince Week 3 and have been playing muchbetter the last couple of weeks after a roughfour-week stretch against some very goodteams,” said Wimmer. “We are certainlyplaying with more confidence and believewe are ready for he challenges this week’sopponent brings.”

“Fishers is a good team and I am surethey feel like they should have beat us thefirst time,” said May. “We are going to haveto go out and play four quarters to win thisgame. Practice this week has been good andthe kids are business-like about this game. Iknow this team believes they are going towin games and will be ready. We alwaystalk about playing through highs and lows.This group has done just that in big games.”

Southeastern’s offense is led by threeterrific football players. Poiry is 123-of-207for 1,928 yards and 12 touchdowns. He hasbeen intercepted just five times. Greg Mill-er has caught 47 passes for 713 yards. Mat-io is a double threat. He has carried thepigskin 85 for 578 yards and has caught 31passes for 613 yards.

“Overall,” continued May, “I feel likewe are playing well. For the most part weare healthy and that is a big deal this time ofthe year. When I think about what would Ichange right now, I wouldn’t change muchof anything. We just have to keep spreadingthe ball around to Matio, Miller, (Curtis)Goss, (David) Tsetse, (Matt) Klink, (Max)Brooks, (Will) Coudret and (Carter) Lohm-

an. I’m sure I am missing someone; wehave had a lot of guys making plays onoffense and found ways to get the ball tothem. Coach (Toby) Jacobs and the offen-sive staff have done a great job with a newoffense this season.

“No one picked us to win the confer-ence. I am very proud of this group and

especially our seniors. They really havedone a great job after struggling last year.They have been great leaders. Collin Millerhas been a big part of that. When you haveguys that put the team before themselvesand make players around them better, goodthings will happen,” May concluded.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorAs the IHSAA volleyball sectionals get

into full swing tonight, Hamilton County'stwo Class 3A teams (Hamilton Heights andGuerin Catholic) will be competing at Sec-tional 24 in Delta.

Delta is located in the heart of Indianavolleyball country: Delaware County.There's probably no other county in thestate that is so associated with a sport. Eversince class volleyball began in 1997, a Del-aware County school has won a state cham-pionship every year but one (2013). Of theeight schools located in the county, sevenhave won a volleyball state title. MuncieBurris ran off a famous streak of 14 consec-utive 2A state titles between 1997 and2010, in addition to eight more state titles inthe one-class days.

The Delta sectional also includes tworanked teams. Yorktown is No. 1, with a32-1 record, and the host Eagles are ratedNo. 6. with a 23-10 mark. Delta will also bethe first-round opponent for Heights, in amatch that starts at 6 p.m. tonight.

The Huskies will not be intimidated,however. Heights enters the sectional witha 15-12 record against some very toughcompetition. The Huskies took on nineClass 4A schools in its regular season, andalso played a match against Alexandria,ranked No. 1 in 2A at the time, andstretched it to five sets.

Heights competed in the Hoosier Con-ference for the first time this year, and wonthe East Division by finishing with a 5-0record. In the overall tournament, the Hus-kies battled with Lafayette Central Catho-lic, the top-ranked 1A team, and pushed theKnights to the wire before falling 25-23 inthe third set. LCC is undefeated this season,only one of three unbeaten teams.

Heights has strong senior leadership,with Sarah Sipe out in front. Sipe leads theteam (and the conference) with 341 kills, anaverage of 3.9 per set. Meanwhile, junior

Kenna Burman is second in kills with 170,and also leads the team in digs, making 380during the season.

The Huskies have two strong setters:Junior Ashlyn Bedwell has handed out 383assists, and has also served up a team-lead-ing 49 aces, a total that puts her second inthe conference. Senior Shelby Hoover hasdished out 285 assists.

Thursday's other first-round match willsee Blackford taking on top-ranked York-town, whose only loss of the season was toMuncie Central, which placed eighth in the4A rankings at the end of the regular sea-son. The Thursday winners will advance tothe first Saturday semi-final, scheduled for11 a.m.

At 12:30 p.m., Guerin Catholic willplay Tipton in the second semi-final, bothschools having received the bye.

The Golden Eagles finished their regu-lar season 15-17, but just like the Huskies,they played a demanding schedule. Guerinplayed 14 Class 4A schools, and also facedtop 3A teams such as Cardinal Ritter andBishop Chatard, along with Lafayette Cen-tral Catholic. The Blue Devils are 17-12.

The kill leader for GC is a freshman:Jasmine Wolfgram. She has smacked 243kills, an average of 2.7 per set. Next in lineis sophomore Molly Witt, with 178 kills.Junior Lauren Gandhi has been a big server,with 75 aces, and has run the Golden Ea-gles' offense smoothly, handing out 879assists.

Ashlyn Bedwelll leads Hamilton Heights in assists with 383 and aces with 49.

It looked as if the National LeagueChampionship Series would be a battle be-tween the New York Mets' strong pitchersand the Chicago Cubs' big hitters.

Four games later, the Mets have provedthat they're pretty good at hitting, too.

And four games are all New York need-ed to sweep the Cubs and advance to its firstWorld Series since 2000. The Metsclinched the NLCS by beating Chicago 8-3

Wednesday at Wrigley Field in Game 4 ofthe series.

Four was indeed the magic number forNew York. The Mets blasted onto thescoreboard in the top of the first with fourinnings, most of which came off the bat ofLucas Duda, who smashed a three-runhome run to get the Mets on the board.Travis d'Arnaud joined the homer paradelater in the inning, with a solo blast to makethe score 4-0.

New York added two more runs in thesecond innings, and another two in theeighth from Daniel Murphy. The secondbaseman stretched his remarkable home runstreak to six consecutive games with a two-run homer. That helped the Mets hold off atwo-run inning for the Cubs in the bottomof the eighth; Kris Bryant provided thescoring with a home run that scored two.

Murphy was 4-for-5 in Game 4, withDuda batting 3-for-4. Wilmer Flores alsohad two hits. Bartolo Colon got the pitchingwin.

The Cubs ended their most successfulseason in years, winning 97 games andadvancing to the NLCS for the first timesince 2003.

The Mets will have to wait a few daysto find out who their World Series opponentwill be. Earlier on Wednesday in the Amer-ican League Championship Series, the To-ronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas CityRoyals 7-1 to force a Game 6 and move theseries back to Kansas City. The Royals leadthe series 3-2. Game 6 is scheduled for 8p.m. Friday.

Toronto blew the game open with fourruns in the sixth inning. Jose Bautista andTroy Tulowitzki both had two hits, whileChris Colabello hit a second-inning homerun. Marco Estrada went seven-and-two-thirds innings for the win.

Salvador Perez hit an eighth-inninghome run for the Royals.
