Panther QB Sam Richard threw for a pair of scores and rushed for 104 yards and Liam McGarvin added 95 yards on 10 carries as Hoosick Falls with the victory moves to 2-0.

 

Lake George/Hadley Luzerne 27  Greenwich 6:  The War Eagles held Greenwich to just five first downs, 67 yards of total offense and forced three Witches turnovers in posting the convincing “W” over Greenwich.

In the first weekend of action for high school football, Kipp put together a nice season on a Saturday afternoon in Whitehall.

The junior running back ran for 201 yards and five touchdowns including a 66 yard jaunt for points in the opening quarter, and added a 98 yard kickoff return for six in leading the Panthers to a 52-32 victory over the Railroaders.

Congratulations to Max, our newest Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week.

Hoosick Falls Posts Dominant Win Over Railroaders

hoosick-falls-ny2When talking about the strength of Class C football teams this year let’s not forget to add the Panthers of Hoosick Falls to the list.  After a so-so season by Hoosick Falls standards last year the Falls opened in style posting a 52-32 “W” over the Railroaders with Max Kipp having a nice season on a Saturday afternoon on Whitehall.

Kipp rushed for 201 yards and five touchdowns and why not, a 98 yard kickoff return as well leading the Panthers to the comfortable win.  The junior back ran it in from 18, 66, 3, 35 and 9 yards out, to go with the return score that covered 98.

Liam McGarvin added 111 yards on the ground with a touchdown for the Falls which led 21-0 at the quarter break.

Leading Whitehall was quarterback Jake Moore who ran for 149 yards and scored a touchdown on the ground and through the air, connecting with Tyler Shattuck just before halftime.
