Heritage Hills (9-2) vs. Evansville Harrison (5-6)
HISTORY OF THE MATCHUP
This will be the 1st meeting between Heritage Hills and Evansville Harrison.
This high-stakes trophy game marks the first-ever gridiron meeting between the two programs. Heritage Hills is riding a dominant 5-game winning streak, peaking at the perfect time for another deep postseason run. Evansville Harrison has won 5 of their last 6 games.
Both teams are chasing history, but from very different angles:
- Heritage Hills is hunting for its fourth consecutive sectional crown. This would mark their second 4A title since being bumped up by the IHSAA success factor, and the 17th sectional championship in celebrated program history.
- The Warriors are fighting for their first sectional title since 2015, which would be the 7th in school history.
The Common Opponent Breakdown
A look at their three common regular-season opponents favors the Patriots, though Harrison's recent surge proves they are a completely different team than they were earlier this fall:
- Jasper: Heritage Hills 21-14 win; Harrison lost 49-7.
- Evansville Reitz: Heritage Hills 42-26 win; Harrison lost 46-0.
- Boonville: Heritage Hills 48-6 win; Harrison 20-14 win.
The Matchup by Numbers
Reitz is averaging 27.2 points per game (ppg) while giving up 25 ppg. The Patriots are averaging 43.3 ppg and allowing just 13.4 ppg.
