Before taking the field for Friday's Ches-Mont League American Division
opener at Great Valley, quarterback Dan Solomon and Octorara were riding high
on a three-game winning streak. Unfortunately for the Braves, even in a driving
rainstorm that blanketed the field and hampered Solomon's arm, they had to
contend with another force of nature.
Mack Hasz turned in a monster game for the Patriots (1-0, 2-2), powering his way to 296 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries to lead Great Valley to a 40-0 blowout win over the previously undefeated Braves (0-1, 3-1) in the league opener for both teams. The senior rattled off five runs of more than 25 yards in a watershed performance, putting the Patriots on his back and his name into the conversation for the area's best tailback.

The Braves offense
juggernaut sputtered a bit and Great Valley was successful at mounting their
run attack against Octorara, something that Big Spring tried to do, two weeks
ago but failed as Octorara outscored them.
There is no doubt the
weather played a part in the way the Braves played. Octorara’s forte is a potent passing attack
which depends on good footing and the ability to catch and run. In fact the Daily Local News article this
morning more that says the same as Andy Edwards reports: “Before taking

Octorara’s Dan Solomon, earlier named the Daily Local News “Athlete of the
Week” finished seven-for-22 for 164 yards and three interceptions, two more
than he had thrown in the season's first three game.
The Braves must quickly regroup as they face Sun Valley on Thursday evening to kick off homecoming weekend at Octorara’s field.
