After an exceptional start for members of the Hudson Fire Department in the first of what may be a traditional football game, the Hudson Police were able to come away with a 37-16 win over their First Responder counterparts.
The flag football game between the Hudson Police Department and Hudson Fire Department, played on Thursday night, Oct. 29, at Alvirne High School-raised money where all proceeds directly benefited the Alvirne Touchdown and Booster Clubs to support local high school student-athletes.
The event featured a $3 admission fee for adults ($1 for students), concessions, a 50/50 raffle, and a “Beat the Kicker” contest at halftime to help drive fundraising event for the school’s sports programs.
The men in red took the first and second scores of the game and looked to have a good head of steam going in the rivalry game.
An interception by the Police late in the first quarter sparked a scoring run by the men in blue for the eventual victory.
The Police went ahead 28-14 by mid-way through the third quarter until a two-point safety was scored by each side, leading to the final 21-point victory.
