This team has all heart. Center Grove came out on fire and Carmel just couldn’t stop them.
After half time some leaders stepped up and got the team ready to play. The defense decided to play to the level of the number 1 defense in the state. Being behind by 17 at half wasn’t something that most highschool teams could rally back from but Carmel isn’t most like most highschool football teams. The have no quit in them.
Good luck next week and remember Carmel never quits till the last tick is off the clock.
