Indianola Football Hosts Carlisle for Senior Night
A top-10 matchup will take place at Indianola Stadium tonight, as #10 Indianola hosts #8 Carlisle in district play. The Indians are coming off of their biggest win of the season last week over Norwalk, and will need to continue their run of strong play against a Carlisle team that has played a tough schedule, and already features a win against #9 Bondurant-Farrar. Head coach Eric Kluver tells KNIA Sports the Indians will have to rely on the strength of their balanced attack to win.
“I really like where we are at offensively and our ability to spread the field and score points, but defensively we are going to have to get off the field. We aren’t going to get three-and-outs all the time, but we have to limit the amount of time they have the football, get off the field, and of course do a lot better in special teams.”
The game can be heard live on 94.3 KNIA and on Indianola Activities YouTube, with pregame coverage beginning at 6:30pm, and kickoff scheduled for 7:30pm.
