Princeton HS vs Princeton commit
Red is better than blue. Well for at least one night it was after the Redhawks beat the Rockhill Bluehawks 43-36 in the opening game of District 7-5A play at Kuykendall Stadium Thursday. The Redhawks now have a three game winning streak under their belt which junior Keldric Luster hopes will serve as motivation for the next game. “We really stepped it up as a team,” Luster said. “We came together and got it done which I think was a big thing for us.” Luster led the way for the Redhawks with his arm and his feet by completing 21 of 23 passing attempts for 268 yards, and rushing for another 118 yards. Down a few players, including senior 5-star recruit Evan Stewart, the team still pulled through in the final half of the game after Rock Hill took an early 14-7 lead. “We have a lot of talent this year,” head coach Matt Swinnea said. “We have many athletes who have been competing alongside one another for multiple years which has been extremely beneficial to our bond and success as a team.”

After taking a break for a week, the football team is back in action Thursday for this year’s Homecoming game. With three games left in the District 7-5A season, the Redhawks are poised to make the playoffs, with a win Thursday night at the Ford Center going a long way to help their cause.
The team hasn’t played since beating Lebanon Trail on Nov. 5.
“It was really good to take a physical and mental break,” head coach Matt Swinea said. “Realistically, we have been going pretty solid since the first week of June. We all needed a break.”
The team takes on Princeton High School with Princeton commit Connor Hulstein helping lead the team.
“I’m very excited to play this week,” Hulstein said. “We are looking at this game as we would a playoff game. If we win this one then we have a secured spot in the playoffs for the first time in almost a decade.”
