2007 Hurricane Football Season

The successful 2007 Hurricane football season came to a close as the Canes fell to the Westlake Wolverines 35-0 in the first round of the state playoffs. 

H-town played Westlake evenly from the kickoff, but a  pair of first-half interceptions keyed the No. 14 Wolverines' home victory in the 3A South Region semifinals.  After Westlake scored on its opening drive, Huntingtown drove to the Wolverines 13-yard line. But on 3rd down, the Wolverines intercepted in the end zone. The Wolverines' 2nd TD drive followed an interception at their 15-yard line, as H-town once again penetrated deeply into Westlake territory. In the 2nd half, the Canes could not regain their momentum and Westlake's powerful ground game took over.
