Clinton Football Reaches Elite 8, Takes on Fort Hamilton Saturday

The DeWitt Clinton Governors football team, riding a five-game winning streak including last week’s dismantling of Port Richmond in the first round of playoffs, travels to southwest Brooklyn tomorrow to take on Fort Hamilton. With eight teams left in the tournament, the winner heads to the semi-finals.

Clinton, seeded 7th, are ranked 9th in the latest Daily News poll.

Yahoo Sports has a breakdown of all the quarterfinal match-ups and says Clinton’s strong defense could turn tomorrow’s game against defending champion Fort Hamilton into “a low-scoring slugfest.”
