Hammond shuts out Porter Gaud
Porter Gaud came 1 yard short of tying the score at 7 at Hammond in the first quarter Friday night. That was as close as the Skyhawks allowed the Cyclones to get at Edens Stadium.
Corbett Glick passed for 272 yards and two touchdowns as Hammond whipped its SCISA 3A rival 35-0.

The Skyhawks took a 21-0 lead in the second quarter, on Jordan Burch’s second TD run of the night.

THEY SAID IT

“(The drive) gave us confidence, and I thought we could compete, but when we didn’t make it and when they got that great pass, that was it.” – Porter Gaud coach Rick Reetz
