Tigers get washed away by JFK

This would be the second year in a row that the schedule-makers assigned the 2-1 Fort Hamilton Tigers to play a Friday night game at the 3-0 JFK Knights’ home field at Spuyten Duyvil in the Bronx. With the expectation of a flat start from the long Brooklyn bus ride, the Tigers surprised their top tier Bronx opponents and dominated play during the first quarter. The Tigers maintained possession all quarter as quarterback J. T. Turner drove downfield using a trio of running backs — Tom O’Neill, Jayden Pagan and Mekhi Smith. Eating up the quarter on the ground, the Tigers reached the one-yard line only to be denied the end zone on fourth down. Using their goal line stand as a rallying point, the Knights proceeded to score twice in the second quarter to quickly gain the lead. Avery Reed (126 yards rushing and 3 TDs) started JFK’s scoring with a 31-yard run, followed by an 11-yard run by Dayvion Stephens to give the Knights a 14-0 half-time lead.
