ST. HENRY - The passing game was there. The run defense was not.

But the running game of the St. Henry Redskins was not to be stopped, racking up 315 yards on caries by six different players in handing the visiting Indians a 49-16 defeat.

Zach Fishbaugh did the most damage for the home team, rushing for 123 yards on 10 carries.
