The Hawks jumped out to a 21-0 first quarter lead only to find themselves in a tie game 28-28 in the the third quarter. Hawks head coach Bill Sucharksi says he cautioned the team about the Indians.
Sucharski says coaching during Thanksgiving week is a first for him.
According to Sucharski he might have to break-out the Blackstone and serve up some pancakes for his linemen.
Peyton Brown’s 86 yard kickoff return for a touchdown came right after the Indians tied the game at 28 appeice. The return turned out to be our Festus Steak and Shake “Shake ’em Up” Play of the Game”
