HYACKS REMAIN PERFECT AT MERCER
The Varsity Hyacks clinched a playoff spot on Friday night with a hard-fought 19-14 win over Notre Dame.
Kale Brock opened the scoring for the home team with an 18 yard TD run in the first quarter. Mackenzie Ratcliffe gave the Hyacks a 13-0 halftime lead with a 20 yard run in the final seconds of the 2nd quarter. Angelo Tanjuaquio put the game away with a 3 yard TD run early in the 4th quarter. Tyrone Morgan led all rushers with 112 yards on 15 carries. Both Morgan and Ratcliffe were making their first varsity starts. Prabh Bal led the charge defensively with 10 tackles.
The win improves the team's record to 6-2 overall (3-2 in league play) and 5-0 at Mercer Stadium. The Hyacks will wrap up the regular season this Friday night at home against the Handsworth Royals. A win for the Hyacks, who are currently honorable mention in the Provincial AAA Big Five Rankings, would clinch home field advantage for the opening round of the playoffs. Kickoff time is 7:30 pm at Mercer Stadium

SENIORS NIGHT THIS FRIDAY AT MERCER
When the Hyacks take on Handsworth at Mercer stadium this Friday, the program will continue its tradition of recognizing 19 graduating seniors. The list includes eight players who have been with the Hyacks since Jr Bantam including, Tommy Robertson, Tanner Jorgenson, James Nicolas and James & Stewart Sommerfeld. Other names like Tristan Sands, Bogdan Pavel and Angelo Tanjuaquio, joined the program in JV. This group of young men has grown together, worked extremely hard, and has helped to restore the winning tradition of Hyack Football.
The players and the parent/guardians who have supported them, not just as football players but as students and young men for the past 17 years will also be recognized prior to the game, in what has become a very special tradition in the Hyacks program. Thanks to all of them for their contributions. Parents of the seniors are asked to arrive by 7:15 pm.
