East County Sports saved the best sentence for last in its report on Friday night’s Foothiller game against Granite Hills: “Now seems like a good time for the rest of the county to recognize that Grossmont is for real.”
Real as being 6-0. Unbeaten since 2011. A 48-6 victory.
“Last year, we lost to this team, we struggled,” Hillers quarterback Tony Lawrence told East County Sports. “It was an embarrassing loss (27-23 in final minutes). It feels great to get a win this year. We tried to put it in on offense on every possession and for the most part it worked out.”
