The Hoosick Falls Central Panthers football team travelled down Route 67 to Stillwater High School to take on the Chatham Panthers last Friday night. The two unbeaten teams, both 9 – 0, met for the Section II – Class C Super Bowl. Even though it was a chilly night, a big crowd was on hand to watch these teams duke it out. Chatham players and fans alike were all pumped up to avenge the championship game losses of the past few years.
It didn’t take long for Chatham to realize that this avenging stuff was not going to happen.

Panthers Wear Down Fonda 47 – 0
by Steve Bradley
Last Friday, the HFCS Panthers travelled to their home away from home, Stillwater H.S., to meet the Fonda Braves in Section II quarterfinal action. The weather was perfect for late season football, and the HF fans turned out in big numbers to support their team.
After HF kicked off to the Braves, the Braves made little progress and punted. On the first play from scrimmage, quarterback Billy Pine found Josh Brogue on a short pass route across the middle. Brogue turned on the afterburners and didn’t stop until he was in the end zone. One play … sixty-three yards … HF – 6, Fonda – 0.
