Bobby Ransom (Skyhawk '99) and the Fort Hamilton HS Tigers ran into tough competition in the PSAL Championship Game held on 11/30. The Tigers were defeated by the Curtis HS Warriors 30-6. The game was played at Midwood HS Field. Curtis' stiffling defense basically shut down the Fort Hamilton offense and did not allow Bobby to do his thing. Bobby, a junior, had rushed for 1,501 yards and 15 TDs in leading the Tigers to the #1 seeding in the PSAL Playoffs. Bobby Ransom will likely join the numerous former SKYHAWK players in being named to the PSAL All-Brooklyn and All-City teams when they are announced in the coming weeks. Good luck to Bobby and we wish him the very best. Photo courtesy of MSG Sportsdesk
