Kolloff’s fumble recovery and touchdown had the crowd cheering and the team hyped up to win.
“I was thinking to myself did I really just score, but once it started to set in, it felt amazing especially when my teammates were bombarding me on the sidelines,” Kolloff said.
The Sequoits had numerous touchdowns from both offense and defensive players. One touchdown that stood out to the team was from Reino Hill.
Hill played a great game with one touchdown, lots of rushing yards, and a huge first down to help the Sequoits score.
“As an individual I think I played pretty well, we spread the ball around so there weren’t too many opportunities for myself but I made most of what I was given,” Hill said.
Freshman Martin Cohen made an appearance in the fourth quarter and scored his first varsity touchdown to secure a big lead.
This homecoming game for the Sequoits was a game to remember with all the outstanding and impressive plays made by the team.
