What a great high school football game. It is sometimes a shame that a team must lose in such a great game. Congrats to PNG on the win. Very proud of the effort and determination of our Huntsville Hornets. Thank you to the community for coming out and supporting our football program. We have something special this season and must continue to work to get better.
The game was as expected the Indians came in with their run game as the focus of the night. The game was back and forth with PNG up 17-7 at the half. The Hornets came back in the second half and took a 21-17 lead into the fourth quarter. PNG got the lead back 24-21 with a few minutes left. The Hornets continued to fight and had a chance to tie the game with eight seconds left but the field goal hit the upright. PNG held on for a 24-21 victory.
The Hornets are now 1-1 in district 8-5A and go on the road this week to face Montgomery High School. The Bears are 2-0 in district with a big win over Lake Creek. It is a 7:00 pm kickoff at Montgomery ISD Stadium. Come early be loud and support your Hornets!
