MUNCIE, Ind. — Mt. Vernon came into Muncie the same way it left, as the team to beat in both the Hoosier Heritage Conference and Class 4A.
The No. 1-ranked Marauders (4-0) came into Delta fresh off a 35-22 win over New Palestine, which saw its 65-game regular season winning streak snapped a week ago. With that win, Mt. Vernon earned the HHC traveling helmet trophy and coach Mike Kirschner told the IndyStar that "It'd be nice not to give it back to somebody after one week."
Well, following a 35-0 win over Delta — Kirschner's first win over the Eagles during his three-year tenure with the Marauders — the trophy is safely in Mt.
