Class 2A, No. 3 Triton Central routs Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter

Class 2A, No. 3 Triton Central may get a second crack at being the No. 1 ranked team in the Class 2A state coaches poll after a 48-14 win Friday over visiting Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter.

With No. 1 Brownstown Central and No. 2 LaVille losing Friday, the Tigers could enter its Indiana Crossroads Conference showdown with 2A No. 6 Indianapolis Scecina next week as the new No. 1 team in the state coaches poll.

That will be decided over the weekend.

On Friday, the Tigers scored a trio of touchdowns in each of the first two quarters to race out to a 42-0 lead by halftime and never looked back.

Sam Kemper had a pair of short touchdown runs in each quarter and senior quarterback Jace Stuckey connected with Mason Compton on a 73-yard scoring strike that finished out the first-half scoring.

Stuckey had a 3-yard scoring run to start the scoring. Kemper followed with his own 3-yard touchdown run and it was quickly 14-0. Stuckey found Chase Chandler for a 9-yard touchdown to extend the lead to 21-0.

Brayden Wilkins 15-yard touchdown run made it 28-0 before Kemper scored again and Stuckey went deep to Compton.

Jackson Booth added a 2-yard scoring run in the third quarter to complete the TC scoring.

Stuckey completed 9 of 13 passes for 170 yards. Wilkins had five catches for 65 yards and five rushes for 48 more yards.

Triton Central (5-1, 3-1 ICC) will host Scecina (4-2, 2-1), who lost 42-14 Friday to Class A, No. 1 Indianapolis Lutheran (6-0, 5-0 ICC), at Mendenhall Field Friday on what will be Senior Night for the Tigers football program.
