Another Fun Night Of High School Football: Week 7 Scores and Highlights

As we move into the final six days of the regular season of High School Football, teams are looking to be playing their best foot as the playoffs are right around the corner. It was a busy week of action and we start in LeRoy where the LeRoy-Ostrander Cardinals took down the Houston Hurricanes.

LeRoy-Ostrander Strong Ground Games Leads To 57-6 win Over Houston

Houston jumped out to a 6-0 lead over LeRoy-Ostrander behind forced turnovers, but the Cardinals then scored 57 unanswered points en route to the win for the Cardinals.
