Red-hot predictions for Indiana's snow-free Regional Friday football showdowns

Weather conditions did not impact red-hot predictions for Central Indiana high school football games on a snowy night. The writer has achieved an 82.5% accuracy rate this season, including strong projections for Carmel versus Fort Wayne Carroll in Class 6A and Brownsburg against Lawrence North. In the first matchup, No. 10 Carmel faces Gabe Frisinger's nine-game winning streak leading a powerful Carroll offense averaging over 45 points per game, with the writer forecasting a close contest ending at scores of 35 to 28. Meanwhile, undefeated Brownsburg enters their regional against Lawrence North following a strong season-opening performance led by senior running back Brady Lewis. The action shifts to Indianapolis for the Class 6A state championship road where Warren Central Warriors host Center Grove Trojans in an early quarterless contest with both teams tied at zero points after initial defensive stops and punts.
