In the season opener the Carlisle Indians took a small trip to across the river to Franklin.  A crosstown showdown.  Carlisle opened up the first half with two scoring drives giving them a 14-0 halftime lead.  In the second half Carlisle's defense was relentless holding Franklin down and the offense scored two more times in the fourth quarter winning the game 28-0.  We will have more pictures, video, and stats a bit later!  GO INDIANS!

The Carlisle High School Varsity Girls Soccer team played to a 0-0 tie with Xenia Christian on Tuesday night.

The Carlisle High School Football team will open their season tomorrow night at Franklin High School against the Wildcats!  The game will be a "White Out" so be sure to come out and support the Indians in a white shirt!  The Indians will look to make it two in a row after an exciting win last year against crosstown rival Franklin.


The Indians return 19 starters this season and have all components to repeat last year's success.  And dare we say improve on it!!  The Indians return Senior running back Nick McGill who had 1700 yards rushing last year.  Jordan Jacobs and Michael Kruse will join him in the backfield to make one scary and dangerous three headed monster for teams to cover.  Nick Reynolds will take over at Quarterback for the Indians.  Reynolds, last year's wide receiver, takes over for former senior standout Jake Gibson. 


The Indians also return 3 of the 5 Lineman spots from a year ago to protect Reynolds.  Seniors Seth Everhart and Darren Dawes along with Junior returner Joe Downey will look to use their experience to bolster the running game.

This season will be an exciting season indeed for Carlisle Football fans.  If this team can stay healthy and gel together the sky is the limit!!

Like Jaeson Hudnall a few years back another Carlisle pitcher has made a commitment to take his baseball talents to Division 2 Urbana University.  Jake Gibson has made a commitment to play for Urbana University next year.  The 2010 Graduate was an excellent 7-3 this past season for the Carlisle Indians Varsity Baseball team.  Gibson helped the Indians to the Division 3 Regional Semifinals.  On the season Gibby had 70 strikeouts and a 2.65 ERA.

 We have received this email about the CSX crossing closing at Gross Lumber. Beginning this Wednesday, August 4, 2010 the crossing will be closed.
