INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — On Wednesday, Sports Director Anthony Calhoun and the WISH-TV Sports team announced The Zone schedule for Week 8.

Game 9: Perry Meridian @ Decatur Central
5A. No 9 Decatur Central (5-2) just put up 63 points against Greenwood. The Hawks host Perry Meridian (2-5) this week.

There is one combined win between these two teams. Is this the week that North Central (0-7) gets its first win of the season or will Pike (1-6) get a much-needed home victory?
Game 14: Terre Haute North @ Guerin Catholic
Similar story to the two teams in game 13, Terre Haute North (0-7) has not enjoyed the taste of winning this year. Meanwhile, Guerin is 5-2 and ranked No. 5 in 3A.

Game 19: Pendleton Heights @ Yorktown
A good Pendleton Heights team (5-1) heads northwest to play Yorktown (4-3).
Game 20: Monrovia @ Cascade
A pair of 5-win teams face off as the Monrovia Bulldogs have a trip to Cascade to take on the Cadets on Friday.
