It took seven games, but a team finally scored a touchdown on Hapeville Charter’s defense. Not only that, but the Allatoona Buccaneers — ranked No. 9 in AAAAAA — beat the Hornets 23-14, scoring 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. The Hornets — ranked No. 1 in Class AA — see their win streak end at 19, along with their hopes for the first undefeated season in program history.
As noted many times here, the Hornets had allowed just three points through their first six games. They drop to 6-1 but shouldn’t see their status as AA’s No. 1 team change.
For a recap of the game, read the game coverage from my colleague Chip Saye here.
