This was a wonderful evening and I can safely say that everyone had a great time.

Brothers bring the Hornets season to an end
"Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse front its blows with brave hearts."
Cicero, 65BC

When Collin was injured in the first quarter and had to leave the field, the dynamics of the game changed and the Hornets were faced with a supremely difficult task. They kept fighting and never quit, Ike Bailey had a great game and Zach Aga was fantastic. The Hornet D was pushed to the limit and fought gallantly to the finish. In the end, a couple of turnovers gave CBA a short field and some questionable officiating made the difference. The Brothers were the victors 49-28. Hats off to them, they’re a very good team.

To Hornet fans this team has been special and the seniors will be sorely missed; Aga, Anderson, Arthur, Bailey, Cupo, DeForest, Fountain, Simmons, Shield to name only a few. This has been an extraordinary group of kids and this team has to go down as one of FM’s best.
A talented group returns next year and an undefeated JV team moves up to varsity. I’m sure with dedication and hard work the Hornets will be back in the dome again very soon.

Once a Hornet, always a Hornet.

Rematch for the Section 3 Championship
Well we’re back. The Carrier Dome, CBA and the sectional championship. It’s deja vu all over again. CBA has won 22 in a row and a state championship. The Hornets are 9-0 and ranked #7 in NYS. The Hornets average 40 points per game on offense and give up 12 points per game on defense. CBA averages 39 points on offense and gives up 7 per game on defense. All indications are its going to be a great game.

Perfect 9-0, AA-2 champions and a trip to the sectional finals. By any measure this has been a great season. Absolutely stomped on most of the teams they played, a big come back at Utica Proctor and beat Henniger twice. This team has a special group of seniors. Talented, tough and composed, they’ve been together for a long time. They lost 1 game by 1 point as freshmen, undefeated as sophomores, played for a sectional championship as juniors and have returned to the dome perfect as seniors. I fully expect a Hornet victory Saturday night but no matter what happens it’s been great being a part of it.

Here's something worth a look.
