INDIANS RUN AWAY FROM GILMOUR ACADEMY

GATES MILLS OH- It was a unique way to start the playoffs for Girard, not only did they have to hit the road but they also had to play on a Saturday afternoon due to the light situation in the stadium. None of that mattered to Girard however, they stormed to a huge 28-6 lead after just a quarter of play. They’d go on to dominate their way to 49-26 win.

Michael Palmer had a monster day for the Indians, the new 1,000 yard rusher gained 81 yards on 11 carries with 2 touchdowns. He also caught two passes for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns. Nic Bengala went for 12/14 through the air with 274 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also ran for 87 yards on 12 carries and 2 touchdowns.

Girard advances to play Perry in the next round of the OHSAA state playoffs. That game will be Friday at 7:00.
