The Fishers Tigers upset the 6A #2 Avon Orioles by a score of 35-28. Both offenses boasted efficiency as both teams had over 350 total yards. The game went back and forth in the first half and ended with a 22-20 Avon lead. In the second half, the Fishers defense held the vaulted Avon offense to only two field goals. Quarterback Jon Vore led two scoring drives including a two point conversion. The defense came up with two huge fumble recoveries in the fourth quarter. The Tigers will continue their home stand as they host the Roncalli Rebels next Friday for the first time ever.

MADISON, IL —Noblesville native Conor Daly had a great start to his weekend at Gateway Motorsports Park and a fifth place finish in Saturday’s Bommarito Automotive Group 500 was the icing on the cake.

Daly started 11th and hovered around eighth to tenth place for much of the race. The biggest change came under caution during the last pit stop sequence. The A.J. Foyt Racing driver managed to gain three spots on pit road after another driver was penalized, allowing him to take the final green flag in seventh place. Daly then capitalized on the ensuing restart and moved from seventh to fifth.

f your grandkids take the old 4-wheeler out for a ride on the back 40 without wearing a helmet, you’re now breaking the law.

Starting July 1, 2017, a major new law affecting outdoor recreation took effect with barely a whisper in the general media. House Enrolled Act 1200 states that everyone under the age of 18 must wear a helmet when operating any off-road-vehicle (ORV). The law is intentionally broad and covers nearly every type of ORV on public or private property.
