THE VIEW: WHO TO WATCH

Quade Greiwe, East defensive lineman

The senior suffered a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus against Jeffersonville three weeks ago but returned to practice last week with a brace on his knee and hopes to play tonight. He would help bolster a defensive line in its attempt to slow down Whiteland’s “fly” offense.

Nick Andrie, East defensive back

The senior has missed the past five games with a bacterial infection resulting from an offseason surgery. But like Greiwe, he returned to practice last week and hopes to be able to play tonight. His return would give the Olympians’ defense a big lift.
