Last Friday under the HFCS lights, the Panthers took on the Corinth Tomahawks. It didn’t take long to see where this game was headed. The Corinth team appeared intimidated from the kickoff, and they never got anything going to bring up their confidence level. The Panthers struck with four minutes gone when Brad Burns scored on a 16 yard run and from then on everything went the Panthers’ way.  Hoosick Falls led 40 – 0 at the half. The JV team got plenty of experience as they played most of the second half.

by Alex Brooks
The Hoosick Falls School Board held a workshop meeting September 27 to consider elements of a possible capital project. A presentation was offered by architects from the firm of Clark Patterson Lee. Their firm did a “building condition survey” for the District about a year ago, an evaluation required by the State Education Department every five years. They have built on the findings in that report to put together a proposed capital project. This initial presentation includes everything that the District might like to get done, with the idea that the District will prioritize and choose which projects to move forward with as they learn more about building needs and costs.
