11/20 Friday Night Highlight Zone

NORTHEAST, Ind. (WANE) - Every teams goal is to finish their season in Indianapolis playing for a state championship. Tonight, area high school football teams finally got the opportunity to realize that dream, as Semi-State championships were on the line in the IHSAA football playoffs.

In 2A, Bishop Luers earned their state record 12th Semi-State title, dominating Rensselaer Central 52-21. The Knights will take on undefeated Monrovia for the 2A State Title, Friday at 7:30pm.

In 1A, the Raiders of Southern Wells were making their second straight Semi-State appearance, and unfortunately, the result was the same as last year. Southern Wells fell to the high powered passing attack of top ranked Lafayette Central Catholic, 47-13.
