Last night the junior high football team got back on the winning track by beating a previously undefeated team in the Ubly Bearcats 6 to 0. The Hawks got stuffed on the 1 foot line inside the red zone and also had a touchdown run called back due to holding. Tied 9 to 9 in the 4th quarter, the Hawks finally ended the scoreless drought by punching it in with less than 4 minutes on the clock. The Red Hawks defense held Ubly to a turnover on downs and ran out the clock. The Hawks improved to 3 and 1 and will travel to Memphis next week. Game time is 6:00 pm.
