Fort Hamilton comes up short against McKee/Staten Island
This past Friday, the Fort Hamilton Tigers crossed the bridge to play the Seagulls of McKee/Staten Island Tech. The Seagulls got the ball first on their own 39-yard line and marched quickly downfield for the first score of the game on a 20-yard pass from Andrew Mai to Devin Patton for a 6-0 lead.
Fort Hamilton’s first possession started from its own 40-yard line. Tigers quarterback Mark Kiss started by throwing two completions, including one for 19 yards to receiver Emmanuel Dimitrakios. A subsequent 13-yard run by Kiss brought the ball to the 19-yard line, where the Tigers would surrender it on downs to end the first quarter.
In the second quarter, starting from their own 7-yard line, the Seagulls made a 93-yard drive ending in a 30-yard touchdown run by Sega Sylla for a 14-0 lead. The Tigers answered back as Kiss ran for 27 yards to drive down to the Seagull 29 as the half concluded.
