FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Page quarterback Michael Magochy rolled through the regular season with just one interception.
Against East Hamilton on Friday, he was picked off twice – in the first half.
And that, in a nutshell, was how the night played out for the Patriots during a 32-7 loss to East Hamilton in the opening round of the TSSAA Class 4A playoffs.
East Hamilton’s relentless pass rush, coupled with messy conditions, made things difficult for Magochy, who has earned the reputation as one of the top quarterbacks in the midstate after throwing for more than 2,000 yards this season. He finished 21-of-37 for 193 yards and three interceptions against the Hurricanes (7-4) while being hurried much of the night.
