Hamlin may have come out ahead in their last match, but they shouldn't get too cocky given who is up next. They will challenge Garretson on the road at 7:00 PM on Thursday. Since neither squad is a stranger to landslide victories this season, you'd better bet it will be hard-fought showdown.
Last Friday, Hamlin had a bit more than a touchdown to spare in a 21-7 victory over Clark/Willow Lake. Junior Nash Grantham was the offensive standout of the match for Hamlin, as he picked up 51 yards on the ground and threw 2 TDs. That makes it seven straight good games in a row from Grantham.
Meanwhile, Garretson faced Canistota/Freeman in a battle between two of the state's top teams. Garretson enjoyed a cozy 42-22 win over Canistota/Freeman. The win was familiar territory for Garretson, who now have eight in a row.
Hamlin suffered a grim 6-34 defeat to Garretson the last time the two teams met. The defeat knocked Hamlin out of the playoffs, so expect them to come at Garretson with a vengeful fire.
