The Longwood Lady Lions football team have ended Half Hollow Hills winning streak with a 20-13 home win. 

Half Hollow Hills came into the game against the Lions with a perfect record winning eight straight games and doing so in impressive fashion. Among those eight wins were four shutouts by the Hills stout defense and they had allowed a total of five touchdowns all season long. 

The Lions were not intimidated in their victory and made a statement early in the game. Maya Morkle set the tone with a 44-yard interception returned for a touchdown and added another interception later in the game. 

Quarterback Delaney Israel was 21 of 34 passing for 266 yards. Including a 50-yard bomb to Giselle Harris, who ended the day just short of 100 yard receiving. Claire Scalfani also fell just short of 100 yards on this impressive day. 

On defense both Chrystal Rivero and Dana Ahmed had six flag pulls a piece with Rivero adding 4 sacks. 

Longwood's defense has now allowed just 25 points in the past 4 games combined as their own winning streak has now reached four games.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
