Yorktown football stymies Bishop Luers in cathartic sectional victory
YORKTOWN — Cooper Luzadder saw it coming from a mile away. With less than two minutes to play in the first half, the junior defensive back for Yorktown football recognized the formation that Bishop Luers' offense came out in to start their drive. He knew that his man was about to run a hitch route, and he watched as the quarterback's eyes made their way over to his side of the field. Luzadder backed off his man to bait the throw, and as soon as he saw the quarterback's body turn towards him, he jumped the route with perfect timing, snatched the throw out of the air and returned it untouched for a pick-six. The defensive score gave the Tigers a three-touchdown lead entering halftime and shifted the momentum totally in their favor for the rest of the game. Yorktown held firm in the second half and got their postseason started with a 35-14 victory over Fort Wayne Bishop Luers in the first round of Class 4A Sectional 20. "We had a really good scouting report going into the game," Luzadder said. "Our coaches lived heavily on, 'If you see something, we've got to adjust our alignment as a DB,'

East Central Indiana high school football sectional opener scores, updates
The IHSAA football postseason is here. Every team is now 0-0. The Star Press will have extended coverage of a matchup between Yorktown (5-4) and Fort Wayne Bishop Luers (2-7) in Class 4A Sectional 20. The Tigers are a defending 4A sectional champion, but the Knights are the reigning Class 3A runner-up and are now playing up two classes from their enrollment size. Luers' record might indicate a weaker-than-usual team, but the Knights play a very tough schedule and have been one of the state's most consistent programs over the last few years, particularly in the postseason. Yorktown, meanwhile, is very banged up and finished the regular season with back-to-back losses to Pendleton Heights and Mt. Vernon.

Delta (4-5) will visit Class 4A No. 10 Logansport (9-0), Jay County (3-6) will host Marion (1-8), and Muncie Central (6-3) will get a rematch on the road with North Central Conference rival Kokomo (4-5).
