Injuries are a part of the game, and unfortunately in single A, they are even more devastating. Two years ago, Beechwood lost their starting RB, who was the leading rusher in class A at the time, to a knee injury in the 2nd round. Two weeks later they lost their starting fullback. They were also two of the 3 starting linebackers. The loss of those two was too much to overcome against Pikeville in the finals.
A full strength Hazard, would probably have been representing the East, but the loss of Smith was a major blow.

Even without the smiths I think hazard was good enough. Sometimes it just isn’t meant to be...but I’m already ready for 2018.
