Caden Hill finished with 167 yards through the air, and JonAnthony Hall was responsible for both touchdowns – one on the ground and another receiving. The Flashes received the opening kickoff, but their possession was short-lived. Tyler Maynard had a sack on 2nd down, and the Flashes were eventually forced to punt.

Franklin Central put together a 20-play, 80-yard scoring drive finished off by a 1-yard touchdown run by Jose Butler to extend the lead to 9.

The Tigers drove into the red zone, but Damir Swanigan answered back win an interception at the 1-yard line to stop the scoring threat. The teams traded punts until Fishers took over with just under 5 minutes to play in the half. The Tigers put together a good drive including a 20-yard reception by Denkota Fletcher.
