Last Thursday, the Grand Lake Hornets made the long road trip to Grant Parish to take on the Montgomery Tigers. This game certainly did not disappoint as both teams traded scores often. However the Hornets made a few halftime adjustments to slow down Montgomery’s high powered offense in the second half. The Hornets offense would pull away in the second half putting a 60 burger on the scoreboard which does not happen often. However in a game like this there were some that knew that there was the possibility of it happening. Another crazy stat about this game was the fact that the Hornets put up 600 yards of total offense which also doesn’t happen often. But when you get into a shootout with a team like Montgomery anything can happen! It was certainly a great win for the program!
