High School Beat: Erasmus hosts B&G in battle of unbeatens
A little less than 11 months ago, the Kangaroos of Boys and Girls High School had their chances for a Public School Athletic League Championship Division title dashed by eventual city runner-up Erasmus Hall at Brooklyn’s Sid Luckman Field.
Entering Week Five of the 2012 campaign, the third-ranked Kangaroos (4-0, 330 power points) will have an opportunity for revenge against the No. 2 Dutchmen (4-0, 345 points) as the last remaining undefeated programs from our fair borough collide on McDonald Avenue.
Last week, Erasmus coach Danny Landberg insisted his local powerhouse was still “a work in progress”. The Dutchmen continued on their quest for a return to Yankee Stadium, where they lost the city championship to Lincoln last December, by blanking visiting Brooklyn rival Midwood, 20-0, last weekend as junior running back Curtis Samuel gashed the Hornets for 120 yards and two touchdowns on only six carries.
