  "account": "This week's area prep football action in Indiana kicks off on Friday night, with the Kingsmen, Northern Indiana Conference champions, set to face off against South Bend Riley at Jackson Field. The Kingsmen, led by confident quarterback Landon Hall, swept their first opponent Mishawaka 49-7 in Week 2, advancing to a 2-0 record. The Cavemen, currently at 1-1, will look to bounce back with a home game against Plymouth, who they defeated 28-0 a season ago. The Rockies, also at 1-1 under interim coach Brent Corbett, claimed a 35-0 victory over Lakeland in their most recent matchup. Northridge opens their season against Goshen, joining two other teams with new head coaches in the Northern Lakes Conference this fall. In Michigan, Week 2 brought South Bend Saint Joseph's first win since their 6A sectional title in 2025, as they edged out New Prairie 28-24.",
