Hornets on the road in first round of 2A playoffs at Carlisle

The Mineral Springs Hornets will be on the road tonight in the first round of the 2A playoffs at Carlisle and since their last game against Murfreesboro, the Hornets schedule has been anything but normal. The Mineral Springs School District has experienced some illness, but head coach Jason Hathcock reported players are getting healthy and their having a great week at practice.

Hathcock said Carlisle is big and they have a 2,000 yard rusher this season, but his team has been physical all year and he feels they match-up well with the Bison.

Hathcock said you can expect some upsets in the playoffs. The Hornets are the underdog this week, but Coach Hathcock feels his team is primed to upset the Bison. Hathcock says to win a team must be focused and he likes his team’s focus.

The Hornets and Bison will kickoff at 7 pm in Carlisle.
