Midwood marches past Fort Hamilton
Midwood 24 Fort Hamilton 14
The 2-2 Midwood Hornets hosted the hopeful 0-4 Fort Hamilton Tigers who were finally starting their first-string quarterback Edin Ibric, after he had spent four weeks on the bench nursing a sprained right arm.
The Hornets got on the board first with a 25-yard pass to Elijaha Thorton to put Midwood up 6-0 in the first quarter. The Tigers then followed with a score of their own from the seven-yard line when Ibric found all of his receivers covered in the end zone and crossed the end zone to tie the game at 6-6 early in the second quarter.
After the Tigers tied the game, the Hornets owned the rest of the second quarter as Ja Kai McKay caught a 20-yard pass and quarterback Zade Edwards scored on a five-yard run to end the first half with a 18-6 Midwood lead.
