With first place in the Quad North up for grabs the Hurricanes went on the road to face the North Hills Indians.

With just over five minutes left to play and the Canes up by a point 13-12 the North Hills Indians hit a 50 yard bomb to take the lead. The Canes could get no further than the North Hill 47 as they tried to respond and stay unblemished in league play. New Castle gave way under the Indians attack 18-13.

North Hills then returned the Red and Black’s kickoff of to the 42. The Indians first play was a 17 yard pass that put them at the Canes door step at the 25.

With seven minutes to play North Hills now had 80 yards to go. In just two plays the Indians were at the New Castle 47. After a loss of four and an incomplete pass North Hills had a third and 14. That’s when the Indians struck for 50 yard pass to take the lead 18-13. The missed two point conversion left the Indians lead at five.

However Devon James was tackled for a loss setting up a second and 17. Lemmon got the ball back to midfield but an incomplete pass and a sack on fourth down sent the Hurricanes to their first league loss, 18-12.
