Hagen had one assist in the win at Iowa and scored two of the team’s four goals in the win over Monmouth.

All Three Monroe County High School Football Teams to travel for Game 1 of Sectionals The IHSAA released its football sectional pairings on Sunday. In Class 5A A rematch was coming, it was just a matter of location. Road trips are coming for both Bloomington squads as North (6-2) will head to Terre Haute North (2-5) and South is at Terre Haute South (2-6). North beat the Patriots 24-14, but the big question is who will be under center for the Cougars moving forward after Dash King’s serious injury at Columbus North. Luke Freel, a key member of the North secondary who had a pick in that same game, is the backup. South, coming off consecutive losses, will look to get back on track at Seymour, then prep for the Braves. It was a thriller at home, with the Panthers prevailing 36-34 in their conference battle. Should both Bloomington schools come out ahead, North would host the final.
In Class 3A Good news travel wise for Edgewood and Owen Valley, but matchup wise, not so much. The Mustangs (2-6) get a road rematch with Indian Creek (4-4) before the Braves leave WIC, with North Harrison (6-2) meeting Corydon Central (3-5) in the other bottom bracket game. Up top, OV (0-8) Will be at home vs. Scottsburg (6-2), which has won six straight. The Warriors’ young program played its first IHSAA sectional game in 2017 and won its first playoff games last year before running into Heritage Hills in the final. The winner gets Madison (4-4), 1-15 in sectional play since 2009, for a home game. Of this group, only OV (2021-22) has won a sectional title since 2011. North Harrison, Madison and Scottsburg have never won one.
Indianapolis Colts beat the Tennessee Titans in Nashville Quarterback Joe Flacco connected with wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. for a 10-yard touchdown pass with seven minutes to play, and defensive back Julian Blackmon had a critical interception as the Indianapolis Colts beat the Tennessee Titans, 20-17, at Nissan Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The win was the Colts’ first against an AFC South opponent this season. Indianapolis is now 3-3 on the season. Flacco started at quarterback again for Anthony Richardson, who is battling an oblique injury he suffered in a week four win against Pittsburgh. Flacco finished Sunday’s game 22-of-38 for 189 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The Colts jumped out to an early lead with a 10-play, 70-yard drive on their first possession. The effort was capped by a 22-yard Flacco touchdown pass to wide receiver Josh Downs. The Colts’ defense forced a three-and-out on Tennessee’s first possession to give the ball right back to the offense, but Flacco threw an interception to safety Amani Hooker. The Titans cashed in on the takeaway as quarterback Will Levis found former Indiana Hoosier receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for a 9-yard touchdown to tie the game at 7. The two teams swapped field goals to make it a 10-10 game at halftime.
Tennessee ate up almost nine minutes of clock in the third quarter on a 14-play, 70-yard drive. Running back Tony Pollard broke free for a 23-yard touchdown run on 3rd-and-19 to put the Titans on top, 17-10. The Colts cut into the Tennessee lead with a 22-yard Matt Gay field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter. Pittman later secured a game-winning touchdown pass. The Titans needed a response when Levis was looking deep for wideout Calvin Ridley. Levis’ pass was ultimately intercepted by Blackmon, who helped preserve the Colts’ 20-17 lead. The Colts forced one more punt and stopped Tennessee on a final play to end the game. Richardson appeared to be on track to play this week, practicing three days with full participation on Thursday, but he was designated as the third quarterback on Sunday. Running back Jonathan Taylor missed his second straight game with an ankle injury, and Pittman Jr. played after news of a back injury that could have sent him to the injured reserve broke last week. Center Ryan Kelly left Sunday’s game with a calf injury. The Colts return home next week to host the Miami Dolphins (2-3) at 1:00 p.m. on CBS4’s broadcast partner, FOX.
