INDIANAPOLIS — Warsaw football Coach Bart Curtis and leadership from the athletic department and the high school participated in the annual state finals football coaches meeting and media day at Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday.
Warsaw plays Decatur Central for the 5A championship on Saturday night.
Decatur Central is located near the airport in Indianapolis, and Curtis says Warsaw’s early-season trip to Indy to play Warren Central will help them against the Hawks this weekend.
“They got guys that can catch a three-yard pass and turn it into a 75-yard touchdown,” Curtis said. “Their schemes are really good on both sides of the ball so they present a lot of problems. Their quarterback is really good.”
Warsaw defeated the three top-ranked teams in 5A in the past three weeks to advance to the state championship.
Warsaw advanced with a 31-14 win over Merrillville on Friday.
No. 4 Decatur Central topped Bloomington South 27-13.
Game time Saturday night is 7:08 p.m., and News Now Warsaw’s coverage will begin at 6 p.m.
