Suggested Video




Forest Hill took care of business in their home opener on Friday (and then some). They claimed a resounding 44-0 victory over the Leonard Lancers at home. The match was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Falcons had established a 36 point advantage.

Forest Hill can attribute much of their success to Josiah Hansen, who rushed for 79 yards and a touchdown on only seven carries.

Hansen wasn't the only one working in the rushing yards department: Forest Hill was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 278 rushing yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Leonard only rushed for 45.

Forest Hill didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Asher Storey.

Forest Hill will host Palm Beach Lakes at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Both have been evenly matched recently as the teams are 3-3 against one another since October of 2014. As for Leonard, they will take on Royal Palm Beach at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Leonard is looking for their season?s first win.
