The TigerHawks are moving on! It came down to the wire Friday night, but North Fayette Valley was able to put away New Hampton by a score of 29-28 to advance in the playoffs.

“We don’t quit!” said coach Justin Heins after the big win. “Much like being down to Union, we just keep playing. We had to face some adversity with having to kick off at the start of both halves and with trailing late after not getting the two-point conversion, but we overcame  it.”
