The Hoover High School varsity football team’s historic six-game win streak ended last Friday when it lost a nonleague game at Nogales High in La Puente, 47-7. Individual statistics were not reported to the Glendale News-Press.
Despite their first setback of the season, the Tornados still have their best record since 1986 with a 6-1 overall mark through their first seven games. The 1986 team was the last Hoover football team to finish with at least six wins in a season.
The Tornados hosted Carpinteria in a nonleague game on Friday; the game finished after the Glendale News-Press’ deadline and will be included in next week’s issue. Hoover will host North Hollywood on Friday, Oct. 14, at 7:30 p.m. before ending the regular season with the traditional Battle of the Bell game against visiting Glendale on Thursday, Oct. 27.
