Liam Harper with the Topper banner and Ray Guffee with the Hammer lead the Topper Football Team onto the Milne Stadium Saturday afternoon to play the Hope Christian Huskies in a non-district game. It was the Huskies homecoming game and they had ‘win’ on their minds, and win they did. The Huskies defeated the Toppers 44-0. The first period was all Huskies as they scored 38 points to put the game out of reach for the Toppers. However the Toppers defense held the Huskies scoreless for the next two quarters and the Huskies were only able to score again late in the fourth quarter. The Topper offense met the stonewall defense of the Huskies and were not able to be effective throughout the game. Photo by John McHale/ladailypost.com
