One Half was All Wissahickon Needed to Win over Simon Gratz
September 14, 2023 | Noah Stomsky
Using one word to describe the game, Brutal. Wissahickon found themselves up 44-0 at the half and that’s when they stepped off the pedal. The final score of 44-28 doesn’t actually tell the full story. Wissahickon’s Jaden Randall took a bad hit and landed weirdly on his shoulder in the first drive of the game […]
