Panthers Run Over Red Storm, 24 – 6

Last Saturday the Hoosick Falls Panthers made a run up the Northway to play the Saranac Lake Red Storm. It was cold with a bit of a breeze, but the fans made the almost three hour trip. Everyone must have been dressed for the thirty degree temperature, as everyone stayed in their seats until the end.

The Storm came into the game with a 9 – 0 record and the stats to back it up. On paper they were a good passing team and an average running team. Saranac Lake and Hoosick Falls are familiar foes who only meet as sectional champions, so it’s always a good game.

The Fonda – Fultonville Braves scored 14 first half points; the Panthers scored 7. How the Panthers dealt with this situation is the mark of a good team. Coming from behind, especially against good teams, is what championship teams do.

Last Saturday the Panthers took to the Stillwater field on a cold, blustery day. A win would give the Panthers a chance to participate in the 2014 Section II, Class C Super Bowl. The team was playing Corinth, a team they faced several weeks earlier and didn’t play particularly well against. The Panthers defeated the Warriors 30 – 7 in that earlier game but struggled doing it.
