  • Tell City to host Southridge

    TELL CITY - Tell City will host its fourth state-ranked opponent of the season when the Marksmen face Southridge in PAC football Friday at 6:30 p.m.

    The 4-1 Raiders are ranked eighth in Class 2A in the Associated Press media poll and ninth in the coaches poll.

    They have a fast running back in Brett Roesner, a 5-foot-10, 165-pound senior who frequently scores on long plays.

    He ran 52 yards for a touchdown in last week's 28-6 win over South Spencer and made an 81-yard touchdown run in the Raiders' overtime loss to North Posey two weeks ago.

  • Inconsistent Trojans to take on Commodores

    However their 16-8 home loss to 1-4 Eastern Greene was somewhat unpredictable.
