Grand Street looking for respect against Lincoln
The Grand Street Campus Wolves were one of the top teams in Brooklyn last season, but a questionable call in overtime against Boys and Girls eliminated them from the playoffs in the first round.
Now the Wolves are back this year with the same core plus a few transfer students thrown into the mix and have achieved a perfect 3-0 headed into their biggest game of the season so far against the Lincoln Railsplitters. For Grand Street, this is a chance to make a statement.
“We’re trying to treat this as just any other game, you know, a chance to get better,” said junior running back Rahmel Ashby. “But this is a chance to finally get the respect we deserve. People are saying [this] game is a change of champions, but we’re just looking for respect.”
One reason why expectations are high for Grand Street this season is senior quarterback Justin “Lefty” White.
