Erasmus Hall falls short of Yankee Stadium return
It took just three weeks into the season for Erasmus Hall and Lincoln to both beat Tottenville and signal that there very likely could have been an all-Brooklyn championship game at Yankee Stadium. During Week 7, E-Hall and Lincoln even went head-to-head in an exciting preview of that matchup, a game that lived up to the billing.
However, instead of that game being a championship preview it turned out to be the beginning of the end for Erasmus Hall.
Injuries and defensive holes that were exploited by Lincoln were not overcome in time for E-Hall’s 41-33 loss to Tottenville in the Public School Athletic League’s semifinals matchup at Sid Luckman Field on Saturday and the Pirates, and not the Dutchmen, will be headed to Yankee Stadium to face Lincoln in the final.
