“That’s the continued thing with us is our growth,” NP coach Kyle Ralph said.
The key for the Dragons has been maintaining focus, through four wins against ranked teams and now back-to-back wins against younger, rebuilding squads. And a marker of growth - earlier in the season, the Dragons were in a one-score game at halftime against Yorktown, but since, have had at least a three-score lead at halftime of each game. It marked the seventh consecutive game in which the Dragons (8-0) have forced a running clock with a 35-point lead at or after halftime. Thacker tallied 115 receiving yards and two touchdowns, Grayson Thomas ran for 98 yards and three scores on 10 carries and quarterback Danny Tippit tallied 222 yards of total offense in the victory.Īll played only one half, as the Dragons rolled up a 63-6 halftime lead and played the second unit in the running-clock second half. NP’s Isaiah Thacker took the opening kickoff back 75 yards for a touchdown, kick-starting a 63-12 romp for Class 4A’s top-ranked team over the host Trojans.
NEW CASTLE -From the moment the ball was kicked, the New Palestine football team was in control Friday at New Castle. Thacker had a big game Friday in the Dragons win over New Castle, scoring three touchdowns in a 63-12 win.
