2008 Cane Football Playoffs

Lackey 19, Huntingtown 14

The most successful Huntingtown Hurricanes football season in school history came to an end as the Canes fell to the Lackey Chargers in an exciting first round playoff game at Hurricane Stadium.

Huntingtown had the momentum throughout the game until late in the 4th quarter, when a tipped Cane pass led to a Charger interception.  Lackey then scored the deciding TD with under a minute to play to lift the Chargers to a victory.

Culver Bradbury opened the Cane scoring with 32 yd interception for a TD and H-town later scored on a 33yd TD pass from Peter Athens to Trevon Jenifer.  The Hurricanes finished their 2008 season with a 9-2 record and a share of the SMAC Championship.
