Hillsboro 42, Clermont Northeastern 6

Weather delayed the start of the Rocket’s week three contest at the Indians, but the rain did little to cool off Hillsboro’s offense.

The Indians scored on their first drive of the game, aided by two fourth-down conversions, and led 7-0 midway through the first quarter.

After the teams traded punts, CNE coughed up the ball deep in Hillsboro territory, the Indians struck for their second score on a 69-yard run by Josh Keets. After another Rocket punt, the Indians scored again just before halftime to take a 21-0 lead into the break.
