Hornets Ready For Battle At The Border

By Megan Hecox
Todays the day! The Hackett Hornets Sr High Basketball Teams are locked, loaded, and ready to shoot for tonight’s tournament in Omaha. For the last several years, the tournament has been known as the Border Classic. Last year, former Omaha faculty member Bev Stone, passed away after a long battle with cancer. In her honor, the name of the tournament is being changed to the Bev Stone Border Classic.
The (1-2) Lady Hornets and the (0-3) Hornets are going to be taking on the Flippin Bobcats for their 1st Round in the Classic. The girls will be playing tonight at 4 pm and the boys will follow at 515 pm. The winners from tonight’s match-up between Hackett and Flippin will play in the 2nd Round on Thursday the 29th. The team that loses will play Round 2 on Wednesday the 28th. The boys’ team will go on to face either Western Grove or Green Forest. The girls’ team will go for three against Omaha or Mt.Judea.
Below is the bracket for the Bev Stone Border Classic.
