Delta tops New Castle in battle of state leaders

MUNCIE, Ind. — The battle between the state's top passing duo and leading rusher did not disappoint.

Williamson finished 36-61 for 468 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions, one of which Delta's Tyler Gilland returned 56 yards for a touchdown to give the Eagles a 42-35 lead in the third quarter.
