9/25/08
By: Clint Cox

The Cottondale Hornets traveled to Wewahitchka last Friday night and came away with a 26 – 14 loss. After a scoreless first quarter the Hornets took a 6-0 lead in the second quarter. Jacob Herring hit Terry Benbow on a 65 yard scoring strike. That 6-0 lead held until halftime. But the Gators came out and put up 12 points in the third quarter and 14 more in the final quarter. Cottondale managed a late touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 50 yard pass from Jesse Freeman to Nick Jackson.
The Hornets struggled with penalties (14) and turnovers (5) in the loss to the Gators. Cottondale fell to 1-2 on the season and things will not get any easier as they will travel to Tallahassee on Friday to take on district foe FAMU. Game time is scheduled for 6:30 pm and the Rattlers enter the contest with a 2-1 record.
