HOW BOUT THEM HILLTOPPERS!

[lyhsports_rivals]

First 8 win season since 1998.
First playoff win since 2005!

Glass size and defense proved to be the difference. They will have a huge challenge next week!

Congratulations. I thought Byrd would win. That's a good win man.

Byrd’s line and pass defense fell apart tonight. Good win. Go beat Blacksburg now.

Can somebody tell me what a Hilltoppers is?

A hilltopper is another name for a ram but the nickname also has historical meaning too. Back in 1871 when EC Glass first opened as Lynchburg High School, it was located on one of the seven hills of Lynchburg (College Hill I think). Thus, the nickname Hilltoppers.

Nice job, a little history lesson with that answer

Congrats @lyhsports! You guys deserve it brother! Will be rooting you on next week. It truly feels good to see GW and Glass playing this late in the year.

Great game by Glass. They struggled the last few weeks of the regular season, but righted the ship and came out in a mission. Very impressed. MacCallum is legit and that team speed is for real. Hopefully Lynchburg can rally around them and Heritage both teams are solid
