MUNCIE, Ind. — Darrick Lee didn’t come into Friday night’s Class 4A sectional opener between Muncie Central and Connersville expecting to leave it the way he did.
Lee, Central football’s head coach, thought his Bearcats would match up well with the Spartans. Lee thought, after entering halftime down 12-8, that the second half would be just as close as the first. But not only did Central fail to recapture the lead it had taken in the first quarter, Central floundered for much of the third and fourth quarters as it suffered a 54-21 loss that knocked it out of postseason play.
