Brownsburg High School is presented with The Zone Banner

BROWNSBURG, Ind. (WISH) — Brownsburg High School was presented with The Zone Banner in their gymnasium on Tuesday.

This is Brownsburg’s second time winning The Zone Banner.

Last year, the Bulldogs were the runner-up. They used that as motivation for this year.

“We went the extra mile this year to get that Banner,” Brownsburg senior Cale Heffernan said. “After coming close last year, we finally got it home this year.”

Their football team is undefeated and headed to the state championship game for the second straight year. Brownsburg football head coach John Hart has been impressed with what he’s seen from the students.

“The biggest student body, and I’ve been coaching for a couple years, I’ve ever seen at Lucas Oil (Stadium) was us last year,” Brownsburg football head coach John Hart said. “I’d like to beat it this year.”

“Our student section really is amazing,” Heffernan said. “Obviously the football players too, they say stuff every single week about how amazing we are and how amazing it is to have our student section around them to support them.”

This is not just an award for the students but for the community of Brownsburg as well.

“They’ve put their time and efforts in to create new ideas and be as creative as possible, and most of all, they’ve included the community,” Brownsburg assistant principal Demetrius Dowler said. “As a community, it means the world to Brownsburg, and not just these kids or to the staff, but the community, and that’s what’s important to us.”

Brownsburg is now the second two-time winner (2018 and 2025) of The Zone Banner, joining Franklin Community High School.

Brownsburg is set to play Westfield in the state championship for the second straight season. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday.
