Little Johns Hand Hornets First Loss
It’s a tough week for the Hackett Hornets, and was even harder on the ride home last Friday night, after the Danville LIttle Johns gave the Hornets a 32-22 loss.
An optimistic, and humble Head Coach Lonnie Hester stated, “Anytime you have two unbeaten teams this late in the season, playing in a conference game, it makes for an exciting game. This was no exception!”
With both teams showing their offensive power, the Little Johns got on top in the first quarter with a 13-6 lead, leaving the Hackett offense with some work to do. Before halftime, Hackett scored another 8 points, still trailing Danville by 7. Third quarter was nothing but a copy of the second quarter showing the strength of each defensive front. The fourth quarter was all Danville with 6 points, and the Hornets unable to put any points on the board.
“We just have to regroup & stay focused” added Hester. Early game predictions had #3 ranked Danville blowing out the Hornets, but Hackett proved that they can play against anyone on both of the ball. “Our guys played hard & we had our chances. Danville just made a couple of adjustments that really hurt us. They are a very good -well coached team.”
Hackett has two conference games left (Lavaca & JC Westside), which are both away games. “We are just focused on those games & trying to get that 2nd seed for playoffs. We want to host another playoff game. It’s always great for our program & our town when are playing football after that 1st wk in November. …. we don’t want it to end!”
Heads up Hackett! Believing you can, is half the battle. Go Hornets!
Tigers THUMP the Gators
With homecoming gaining most of the attention during last week, the focus for the Senior High Tigers were defending their home field against the Gators of Two Rivers.
The Tigers were attentive to the task at hand, and controlled the ball from the start. Coach Bentley stated, “We challenged the team to come out and dominate from the first whistle and they more than stepped up to the challenge.”
Having both the defense, and offense controlling the game clock, and ball possession, the Gators couldn’t find their feet against the Tiger attack, and with a final score of 40-2, favoring the Tigers, this game capped off a festive week, positioning the Tigers for their playoff hopes.
Facing Perryville on their home field this week, the winner of this game more than likely get the 4th or 5th playoff seed from our conference. Bentley, “Our goal since day one has been to make the state playoffs. To be able to have a chance to accomplish that goal this late in the season is a big accomplishment for our program, considering where we started at in the middle of July.”
Congratulations to #15 Brennan James (overall), #79 Grant Ellison (offensive), #66 Ethan Moore (defensive) and #4 Tyler Harper (special teams) for being selected the Mansfield Football Players of the Game.
GO TIGERS!
