On a drizzly Friday evening, the Hoosick Falls Panthers Football team completely dominated Lake George / Hadley-Luzerne. The Panthers took control, once again, on the first offensive play of the game. Quarterback Garrett Wright took the snap and lofted a perfectly thrown pass to Austin Pitt, who was racing down the sideline. Pitt continued down the sideline until he was in the end zone. The 55 yard play gave the Panthers a 6 – 0 lead seconds into the game, and they would never look back.

The Panther golfers keep mowing their opponents down with the regular season rapidly coming to an end. This week the Panther Five took five of the five points available.

The Cambridge Indians came to Hoosick Falls last Thursday in what was a home match for both teams as Cambridge also uses the Hoosick Falls Country Club as its home. The Panthers weren’t very friendly neighbors as they grabbed all the points, recording a 5 – 0 win. Eric Bloomer, shooting a 40, was the medalist.

Eric Bloomer won against Daniel Genesis (4 – 3), Andrew Hoag won against Gabriel Evans (5 – 3), Ryan Bloomer won against Brandon Taber (2 – 1), Jake Nolan won against Ethanol Jessie (2 up) and Conner Smith won against Nathaniel Woodcock (3 – 1). Smith shot his best score ever during a match, 44.

On Wednesday, the team played Greenwich at the HFCC. The last time these two teams met the Witches came away with all five points. Andrew Hoag and Jake Nolan won their matches, but the Panthers lost the overall match, 2 – 3.

The Panthers are now 10 – 2.

On Thursday, September 18, Granville will visit Hoosick Falls to play at 4 pm. In the regular season final game, the Panthers travel to Stillwater on Friday, September 19, game time is 4 pm. League championships are scheduled to be held Wednesday, October 1.

Panthers Pull Away to Win At The Dome, 48 – 21

by Steve Bradley

The Hoosick Falls Central Panthers opened their season last Sunday in the Syracuse Carrier Dome against the Owego Indians. In opening day fashion, the Panthers had their ups and downs, their dominating moments and moments of lackluster play. Individual players had their great plays and plays that weren’t so great. They won the game going away, which put a 1 in the W column, and that is what counts most at the end of the season.
