Last Friday night I made the trip to Oxford to catch their Hornets host the Henderson Warriors. In a game that came down the wire, the Hornets topped the Warriors, 22-20.
The victory was spearheaded by QB Dustin Long who not only scored two rushing touchdowns, but secured the game sealing INT on defense late in the fourth quarter.
Hornets C.B. CJ Boyer also had a big-time stop on fourth down in the second half, though it was Corey DiAntonio who broke multiple tackles securing a two-point conversion that would prove to be the difference.
Special thanks to Athletic Director Mike Price, and Oxford Head Football Coach Michael Means for the warm welcome! There was a palpable sense of community Friday night, and it was a pleasure to cover the game.
