Hornets triumph over Pope, travel to Kell Friday

All is right now in the minds of the Hornets football fans, as the football team won its second Region 6-AAAAA matchup in as many weeks, defeating Pope 37-21. After a loss to Tift County in head coach Leo Barker’s first game at the helm, Roswell has put together two-straight victories while allowing an average of 14 points. The offense has been fantastic so far, scoring over 30 points in each of the last two games. Just as Barker envisioned, it’s been the running game sparking the team’s offensive success and last Friday was no different. Reid Suhr carried the load for the Hornets, scoring four times and rushing for over 150 yards for the second consecutive week. This Friday the Hornets travel to play Kell. … One up, one down was the story for the softball team last week, as they played two region games. The first was a 9-3 loss to Lassiter, followed by a shortened 12-0 victory over Campbell. The star of the week was Erin Vickery, who hit a three-run home run in the loss to Lassiter, her third long ball of the season.
