Lewis’ four touchdowns power Brownsburg past Lawrence North for regional crown

INDIANAPOLIS — Brady Lewis rushed for 149 yards and four touchdowns, and Parker Condon added 130 yards and a score as Brownsburg overwhelmed Lawrence North after halftime Friday night, pulling away for a 55-19 victory in the Class 6A regional championship.

Lewis carried 21 times, averaging 7.1 yards per attempt, while Condon needed only 10 carries to reach his total. Together, they generated 279 of the Dogs 400 rushing yards and five touchdowns, giving the Bulldogs a powerful combination on the ground. Lewis scored three of his touchdowns before halftime, helping Brownsburg withstand a competitive opening half. Lawrence North scored 10 points in the first quarter and nine in the second, but the Bulldogs answered with 14 in each period to take a 28-19 lead into the break. The Wildcats remained within striking distance, trailing by nine with two quarters left.

Brownsburg took command in the third quarter. The Bulldogs poured in 21 unanswered points while their defense shut out Lawrence North, stretching the advantage to 49-19. A game separated by fewer than two touchdowns at halftime had become a 30-point margin entering the fourth.

Lewis supplied his fourth touchdown with 3:08 remaining in the third quarter, pushing the Bulldogs’ total to 49 points. Richard Hall added the final touchdown with fewer than three minutes left in the game. The extra-point attempt was unsuccessful, leaving the final score at 55-19.

Brownsburg’s defense contributed more than a scoreless second half. Jaxson Pierson and Jordan Smith each intercepted a pass with Smith returned his pick for a 38-yard TD, adding another scoring threat to a team already controlling the game with its rushing attack.

The Bulldogs improved to 12-0 and advanced to a Nov. 20 semistate matchup against unbeaten Warren Central. Lawrence North finished its season at 9-3.
