The Hematites were pumped up in today’s game obviously determined to advance to the State Finals next week.   They were aggressive and tough on the field leaving nothing to chance.  After securing a whopping 38-3 lead in the first half of the game their energy settled into a quieter mood during the last quarter when they pulled Alex Briones (17) and Adam Prisk (30) off the field giving some of their younger players a great opportunity to get some experience in front of a packed crowd.
