Josh McNamee had four touchdowns to lead the NDSS Golden Hawks senior football team to a 43-0 win in their KASSAA season opener against the Ernestown Eagles on Friday at NDSS.
McNamee got the Hawks on the board in the first, taking a hand-off from quarterback Ben Fisher and threading the Eagle defense into the end zone.
Nate Gifkins made good on all his field goal attempts save for one, when the snap was fumbled but he quickly recovered and ran the ball in for the two point conversion.
Gifkins also ran in a touchdown, faking a punt attempt on a fourth down and instead running for the 40 yard score. Connor Birney also added a touchdown for the Hawks.
