Fort Hamilton upsets Lincoln to make the postseason
Fort Hamilton 30 Lincoln 15
Riding the bubble with an outside chance of making the playoffs after beginning the season with a 0-3 record, the 5-4 Tigers took on the formidable second place 8-1 Railsplitters in the last game of the regular season under the lights at Lincoln High. This game would determine if Fort Hamilton’s season ended in Coney Island; or if the Tigers would advance to the postseason after making a strong second half comeback.
The motivated Tigers displayed their determination to extend their season immediately in the first quarter as Jermaine Garner recovered a Lincoln fumble on the game’s opening series. After an exchange of possessions, Daquan Glover blocked Lincoln’s punt that Devon Watts recovered in the end zone for the first score of the game.
