The Collins football team will get a rematch for the region title.

The Titans topped Spencer County 33-14 Friday night in the second round of the Class 4A playoffs at Robert Doyle Stadium to earn a spot in the regional title game for the second straight season, and they'll have a familiar foe. Collins (10-2) will host Western (7-5) at 7:30 p.m. next Friday night. The Warriors, who beat North Oldham 28-19 Friday night, beat the Titans 31-26 in the Region 2 title game last year.

Collins got the chance to avenge that loss by beating the Bears tonight. The Titans did that by getting two touchdowns from Michael Brooks, two touchdown passes from Lawson Page to his older brother Andrew and a 100-yard rushing game from junior Logan Bailey.

Collins rolled up 488 yards of offense (277 rushing, 211 passing) and held Spencer County (5-7) to 122 yards of offense (94 rushing, 28 passing).

Bailey's 83-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter was the clincher for the Titans, while Brooks had 12 rushes for 60 yards and two scores. Senior Donte Jones added 48 yards on five carries. Sophomore standout running back DeAndre Farris gained 39 yards on only two carries before going out with an ankle injury. He went to the hospital during the game and was back on the sidelines before the game ended on crutches, but with only a sprained left ankle.

He wasn't the only one to get banged up, though. Sophomore wideout/safety Nathan Sames also had to be taken to the hospital with a likely concussion, while senior lineman Joseph Fawns also left the game with an ankle injury. Brooks too was hobbled at the end of the game by an ankle.

Sophomore quarterback Lawson Page completed 15 of 21 passes for 211 yards and TDs of 20 and 42 yards to his brother Andrew, who had nine catches for 146 yards.
