Brooklyn Skyhawks Football

The Intros played a hard fought game on Saturday, November 18th vs the Bayside Raiders. The game saw a lot of exciting plays from both teams. However WR Curtis Smith stole the show when he went from receiver to defender and stripped the ball from the Bayside DB, who made an interception, and scooped up the ball and ran 35 yds for a TD. The Skyhawk defense played hard vs the Raiders in the closing minutes and thwarted any chance for a comback. Final score SKYHAWK Intros 14 - Baysdie Raiders 12 This marks the first time in nearly 12 years that the Skyhawks have multiple Championship teams in the same year
