No question, this game was going to be a close one. Coming into this game, both Westwood High School and Lower Richland had virtually identical statistics and both teams had almost identical records against common opponents. And close it was.

October 22, 2012 By
Time was running out for the Redhawks. Winless so far this season, with the playoffs looming, they needed a victory to have any chance at postseason play.

Flora Hammers Redhawks
October 15, 2012 By
This was a game of realistic expectations. Sure, we all remember the miracles on ice at the 1960 and 1980 Olympic Games, when teams of American college players whipped the Soviets.

Lady ‘Hawks Drop Second Game of Double-Header
September 4, 2012 By
The Lady Demons, while not a tall team, showed precise, polished play Aug. 30, developed over the four years the senior-heavy team had played together.

Coming off a loss to Fairfield Central last Friday, Redhawks head football coach Rodney Summers said he was looking for “improvement; to control the game better and to run the ball more.” He most certainly got improvement as Friday night’s game was much closer and closer even than the score reflects.
