Hurricanes 2-0 After Upsetting Hills West
September 17, 2017
Heading into Saturday’s game, with Hills West ranked #2 on Long Island, the predictions were clear: The Hurricanes (ranked #5 on Long Island) had no chance of winning against Hills West.
However the Canes let the doubters know: time to update those rankings.
Injuries to five of the Hurricanes’ starters have changed the Canes line-up, but the second string is stepping up, defeating Bellport in last Friday night’s season opener in a nail biter, 42-38. Saturday’s 33-7 victory has made the Hurricanes a storm to reckon with in Division III.
The Canes controlled the ball on both sides the entire game, allowing only seven points on a punt return.
Senior stand-out Dylan Laube finished with over 300 yards (including a 92 yard punt return) and three touchdowns. Nolan Quinlan and QB Clarke Lewis added the other two touchdowns.
The Canes are home this weekend, September 23, against rival ESM at 2:00. Come out and support your Canes!
