Coach Jason Wilson’s quote: 

“The Hicks Trio had a great game against Philipsburg. Tommy had the first interception which set us up for a short touchdown run. Rashawn followed up with an INT returned for a touchdown. Jamal had a magnificent over the shoulder catch for a touchdown before the half. It’s a really cool thing for the brothers to all be playing on the same team and contributing to the win. It’s something that they’ll be able to share memories for the rest of their lives about and you can see how excited they were for one another on each of the plays.”
