Homewood-Flossmoor schedule roundup: Week 2

Share

It's just one game, but Homewood-Flossmoor knew Friday night's meant something more. In a rematch of last year's 8A state title game at Stevenson, the Vikings jumped out to a 22-7 lead in the first half. The defending-champion Patriots responded to tie things up late in the first half but managed just one more score the rest of the night. That was a bad recipe against the most lethal offense in the state, which ran for 371 yards and received six touchdowns from the Harley-Hampton twins and moved to 2-0 on the early year.
