Last Thursday, it was a very cold morning as Ashland and Hopkinton met up for the 95th time on Thanksgiving.
The first offensive snap of the game couldn't have gone any better for Ashland. Jackson Hornung connects with Nathan Sickles who takes it to the house for a 70 yard touchdown, extra point was no good. score remains 6-0.
The Hillers respond in the 2nd quarter, a 28 yard touchdown from Ryan Kelleher to Brenden Kelly evens up the score. The Brendan Kelly extra point puts the Hillers up 7-6.
In the 3rd quarter the Hillers strike again with some trickery. Ryan Kelleher can throw for touchdowns and catch them, Luke D'Aloia connects with Kelleher. The extra point was good and that makes it 14-6 Hillers.
Hillers struck once again in the 3rd quarter, Brendan Kelly makes an insane catch for his 2nd touchdown of the game and he then kicks another successful extra point to make it 21-6 and that is how the score would stay the rest of the way.
The Hopkinton Hillers finish the season with 7 Wins and 4 Losses overall while Ashland finishes with 8 Wins and 3 Losses.
Congratulations on a great season to the 2018 Hopkinton Hillers football team. View highlights of the Thanksgiving battle below!
