Erasmus eliminates Fort Hamilton in semifinal showdown
Erasmus 48 Fort Hamilton 8
Hosting the Dutchmen in the 2015 PSAL semifinal playoff round, the Fort Hamilton Tigers’ game plan was simple – “Stop number eleven” referring to Aaron Grant, one of the league’s top running and passing quarterbacks.
However, the Tigers’ preparation never envisioned “number eleven” totally eluding the strong Fort Hamilton defense as Grant ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more as a part of Erasmus’ hefty 40-8 halftime lead. Commenting on his team’s first half performance, Erasmus Head Coach Danny Landberg stated, “They did everything perfect. I couldn’t ask for better play from them in the first half.”
