Thank you Ski Trip. Yes, he did play a nice game last night. 3rd play from scrimmage, our senior RB got on John's butt and followed him through the hole he created, then peeled out around him and scored on a 60 yard run right up the middle of the field. Running game was on all night, which opened up the passing game for our backup QB. He was nervous and scared all day at school yesterday, but he played a good safe smart ball game last night. We also had a senior score his first TD of his career on a kickoff return and one of John's sophomore teammates scored 3 times and had an interception return for almost a 4th score. Lots of 10th graders making good things happen down here. HG ain't no pushover anymore! I am so proud of ALL the kids and the coaches, who are doing a great job with this team. GTT

Just received this pic from a girl on the yearbook staff. Apparently John and his friend Cam, the running back who was voted player of the game, got a little excited after a score last night.

Hornets travel to Genoa tomorrow night for a battle down south. We'll see tomorrow night. GTT

Go Hornets!

Thanks for the support! The Genoa Dragons played their hearts out and led 24-20 early in the 4th quarter, which was somewhat of a surprise to be quite honest. We had 3 costly turnovers and a dropped TD pass that kept Genoa in the game too. HG Hornets took it over scoring 3 TDs in the final 5 minutes of the game to win 40-24 on the road. This game was closer than the score would lead one to believe. Hornets came out very flat and almost down until the last quarter of the game. We'll not be able to beat Fouke, Fordyce, or Smackover playing like we did tonight. Weather was great and there were no injuries. GTT

Good job, and good comeback!

Congrats to ur Hornet team on there success so far this year. Our Bryant Hornet team is off to good start at 5 and o. Very proud of this team as they have overcome tragedy and 3 sr to season ending injuries. My boy was named offensive player of the week from his coaches for his 9 pancakes blocks against Catholic last Friday. We travel to Alma this week and Hootens has picked to lose by 4, boys are fired up over it. Hope it leads to another win. Good luck all Hornet teams and be safe !

Them Hornets have been swarmin' and stingin' all over the state, haven't they?! Congrats to your son and his team. 5-0 is always a nice place to be. We'll take 4-1 here at HG, especially since we were 1-4 this time last year. Feels pretty good watching your boy's team win instead of coming up short week after week like we saw last year. No senior leadership.

Oh, and I know about pancakes too! I don't think JJ has ever had 9 (wow), but he gets his share. Hope your Bryant Hornets win at Alma and our HG Hornets win their Homecoming game this Friday against Fouke. Hope they ALL stay healthy all over the state. GTT
