Close to 2000 people packed into Mercer Stadium to celebrate 10 years of Hyacks Football. The night began with 50 Hyack Football alumni taking part in the first annual alumni touch football tournament. Torsten Jaccard led the 03/09 team to a perfect 3-0 record! From there the reception was standing room only. Then all-decade team was introduced pre-game, and made the run through the tunnel to the field for one last time. Following the game, fans were able to enjoy a 20 minute fireworks show.
The Hyacks defeated Carson Graham 26-16. Tristan Sands opened the scoring with a TD reception from Tommy Robertson. Julian Ramirez and Aldrin Asuncion each rushed for over 100 yards and scored a TD. James Nicolasscored the final Hyacks major and also had an outstanding game on defense with 6 tackles (2 for loss) and a fumble recovery. Jordan Chin led all tacklers with 10. Asuncion was named the Prime Time Player of the Game, while Tiger Xu was the Burger Haven Lineman of the game. Thanks to Deb Wardle and a host of volunteers or making the entire 10-year celebration a truly memorable one.
