Tampa, Fl - The Hillsborough Terriers are finally champions of the Class 6A-District 8 title, with the announcement on Monday, that the Florida High School Athletic Association wanted more time before ruling on an eligibilty issue involving a player with Jefferson High School.
That off the field announcement, was good news for Hillsborough (8-1, 5-1) who won't have to play for a district title they thought they had already won, on the field.
After losing a nail-biter to Armwood last week, Sickles knew it would have to get back on track against Hillsborough if they want a shot at reaching the playoffs.
In the first quarter Hillsborough struck first blood on a 20 yard run right up the gut by Nigel Harris to make 8-0.
But the Gryphons fire right back with a 44 yard hook-up between QB Nate Mills and Bilal Salat to pull within two.
