Covid-19 affected many things in the 2020 football season starting with the amount of games played. After finishing 8-2 in 2019, Hamilton West finished with a record of 3-1 thanks in part to Running back Kevin Boswell. Despite only playing in four games, Boswell finished the year with 619 total yards and eight touchdowns. In the 62nd meeting between West and Steinert on Thanksgiving, he scored a shifty 33 yard touchdown to lead the Hornets to a 22-6 victory. The fans have spoken and he is JSZ’s Week 9 and final Game Ball Winner of the season. Watch his ceremony below: Take Our Poll Stay tuned for our best plays of 2020!

Steinert 10 Hamilton West 0 Reigning Tournament of Champion Winners Steinert began the season with an impressive 10-0 shutout over Colonial Valley Conference rival Hamilton West.
