**Byrd Shines in Record-Breaking Performance Against Charlestown** Scottsburg senior quarterback Nathan Byrd delivered a historic performance on Friday night, breaking school records for passing attempts, completions, and yards in a single game. Despite his effort, the Warriors fell just short in a hard-fought 20-17 loss to Charlestown. Byrd’s Record Night Byrd finished 27-of-43 for 300 yards and a touchdown, becoming the first quarterback in school history to reach the 300-yard milestone. His accuracy and decision-making kept the Warriors in the game from start to finish.

Junior Luke Hamilton added six catches for 60 yards, while senior Ricky Pinto-Herrera contributed six receptions for 52 yards. Ground Game Support The Warriors also leaned on senior running back Landon Shuck, who carried 21 times for 84 yards, consistently moving the chains. Byrd added a short rushing touchdown, giving him two total scores on the night. In all, Scottsburg compiled 385 yards of offense — 300 through the air and 85 on the ground — showing one of its most balanced and productive outings of the season. Defensive Standouts Scottsburg’s defense held tough against Charlestown’s explosive playmakers. Senior lineman Jacob June was a force in the trenches, tallying 2.5 sacks and six tackles. Senior Garrett Boling anchored the defense with 12 tackles, while the unit combined for four sacks and forced two fumbles. Charlestown junior quarterback C. Grayson threw for 213 yards and a touchdown, while the Pirates added 116 rushing yards and two scores on the ground.
