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.
