On October 24, 2014, the Hubbard Greyhounds football team beat Harper High School 34-12 for the first round of city playoffs. Whenever the two teams meet, the game is called “The Big Red Bowl” and the winner receives the trophy. The last time the two teams met was 10 years ago and Harper has held the trophy since then. Winning this game was a great achievement, not only because of the trophy, but because the team had not won a playoff game since 2011. Senior Rashawn Williams said, “It was a spectacular feeling. I was just more than happy to go out and get a victory with my brothers.” The key players of the game were Jacquelle Smith, Brandon Pettis, and Raymond Abraham. Smith threw for 42 yards, rushed for 71 yards, rushed for 1 touchdown, and had 6 tackles. Pettis had 13 carries, rushed for 110 yards, had 2 touchdowns, and recorded 9 tackles. Abraham had 4 carries, rushed for 26 yards, 1 touchdown, 13 receiving yards, 9 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 fumble recovery. Head Coach Elton Harris said, “The offense did pretty well. We rushed for 450 all-purpose yards. The defense’s performance was much better because we shut down one of the top offenses in the city.”
