Their first three attempts at equaling the score ended with a fizzle (one punt and two turnovers on downs), and the Bengals looked [...] Forest Hills Eastern's Zach Wilkerson It’s tough to explain what happened to the 2008 version of Grand Rapids Forest Hills Eastern. After making the playoffs in three consecutive seasons from ‘05-’07, the Hawks fell off a cliff in 2008, losing their first eight games before finishing the season with a heartening but essentially meaningless victory.
