COACH OF THE YEAR LUKE AMSTUTZ, East Noble The Knights had one of the toughest schedules in the state, including four Class 6A opponents in the first five weeks, and they more than held their own against it. Amstutz led EN to a 9-3 record and a Class 4A sectional final with a strong running attack and a fast, aggressive defense being keys to success. The Knights were tied for second in the Northeast Hoosier Conference with Carroll at 5-2. They gave NHC champion New Haven its only league loss and defeated NorthWood and Leo in Class 4A Sectional 19 play. But East Noble lost to Bishop Dwenger 3313 in the final at the University of Saint Francis.
