On the eve of Friday, the 13th, Jackson Friday, donning the number 13 jersey, displayed an exceptional performance by netting three goals in the Hawks’ commanding 4-1 victory over Ringgold.

This triumph holds significant weight for the Hawks, as it secured their undisputed claim to the section title and marked a historic milestone—their first section title win since 2013.

In the early stages of the contest, Friday showcased his scoring prowess with a clinical finish, capitalizing on a beautifully threaded through-ball courtesy of Dylan DeClair.

Without delay, Friday found the back of the net again, connecting with a well-executed through-ball delivered by Adam Thompson.

Before the close of the first half, Friday’s impressive hat-trick granted the Hawks a resounding 3-0 lead as they entered halftime.

The second half witnessed Xavier Jackson adding a fourth goal to the Hawks’ tally, masterfully assisted by Adam Thompson.

Although Ringgold managed to sneak a goal past the vigilant goalkeeper, Luke Rubican, in the waning moments, it proved futile.

The Hawks concluded their section play unscathed with a remarkable record of 13-0-1, solidifying their dominance. Their journey continues with one more regular-season game scheduled for Tuesday against Canon Mac before the eagerly awaited playoffs.
