The next day they are back to regular league play against the Panthers at Norgate.
The team opened play with two wins at a jamboree over the Labour Day weekend, beating the Westside Warriors 28-14 and the Lions 7-0. Tyler Jones and captain Kolby听Wilton听each had a touchdown while Reniel Belandres added two in the first game, and Jones scored the major in the second.
This Sunday, the Hitmen were outnumbered by a bigger Warriors team in a rematch, and despite a comeback attempt after being down 21-0 at halftime, they could not bridge the gap, dropping the game 28-22.
