Hopkins stumbles as they lose to Riverdale
The Hilltoppers couldn’t get much going in a disappointing loss this weekend, falling to Riverdale 46-7. This was Hopkins worst game of the season and one they will hope to quickly forget.
Riverdale opened the game intercepting Hopkins QB and putting together a 3 play scoring drive. The next 2 Hopkins drives would end the same way, with Riverdale’s defensive backs picking off the pass for the intended receiver. Down 14-0, Hopkins’ Corey Rispoli forced a fumble on the opponent’s 1 yard line and took over 1st and goal late in the first half. Unfortunately the Hilltoppers were stopped on 4 straight plays and turned the ball over on downs. This would happen again later in the half with Hopkins still unable to punch it in, ending the half at 34-0.
The second half was much like the first, Hopkins failing to put together key drives and Riverdale connecting on big plays. Hopkins would get on the board late with a TD run from Doug Gilford, his first varsity touchdown of the season/career. Hopkins will have a bye this upcoming week before facing off against Long Island Lutheran on Saturday, November 7th at home. Come support the team as they look to rebound with a win!
