team effort Highlighted by a first half shutout. The Lone Sherando score came by way of interception for a touchdown.
A late miss alignment in the secondary allowed a long touchdown pass and catch to ice the victory. But in the end the
defense was asked to carry too much of the load and was wore down.
The defense had many productive players as this group did a good job against Sherando's
top back. In the secondary the Hawks were led by defensive player of the week Kwuante Stewart and his 8 tackles and
Trayvon Freeman with his 9 tackles. The linebacker corp were all solid. The inside backer combination of Ty Helmick
and Chris Grady tallied 20 tackles on the night; Grady's most productive night! The defensive line of Pingley, Settle,
Meador, Wells, and the lineman of the game Ben Schurtz were all tough inside. Ben had 13 tackles and a fumble recovery.
The offense had a bit of a new look with Sophomore Aaron Jeremiah getting his
first start of the season. Aaron had a couple "up and downs" but over all made good decisions under constant pressure.
Offensive player of the week Kareem Caison was the most productive Hawk weapon on the night. Sherando's front proved
to be difficult for the Hawks to handle.
