Whiteland 45, Perry Meridian 6
First-time starting quarterback Kevin Denham made his only completion a spectacular one, tossing an 80-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Smith as part of a nearly 500-yard offensive explosion that lifted the visiting Warriors (2-2, 1-2) to a Mid-State Conference rout of the Falcons (2-3, 1-2). Gunnar Hicks ran for a career-best 119 yards to lead Whiteland’s 379-yard ground game, and Landon Wood turned five rushes into a pair of first-half touchdowns in the win.
