From the desk of Coach French: The CMS 8th grade Football Hornets ended their 2020 season tonight with a 38-12 loss to the visiting Maryville 8th Grade Spoofhounds. The Hornets' highlights were mainly supplied by CMS standout Silas Midgyett. Silas returned a kickoff after a Spoofhounds score for a 70-yard touchdown return. Silas also led the team in rushing and scored the team's only offensive touchdown. Quarterback Trevor Peniston led the team well on some drives and had a couple of nice runs, too. Defensively, Silas made a few nice plays as the defensive end and the other defensive end, Johnathan Bowlin, also had a sack and a tackle for loss. The defensive line, led by Trent Jacobs, Bo Smith, and Austin Covert, made some big plays, also. It was an unusual season to say the last; however, this group of young Hornets has some pieces that might help the classes ahead of them make a deep playoff run in the future. Thanks to all of our parent volunteers on the chain gang and clock crew. Thanks to Eric Turner for being the voice of the Hornets. Thanks to Donnie Murrell for being the stadium crew who helps us so much in preparation for a game. Thanks to Mrs. Smith and Mr. Creekmore for being our administrators leading us through it all.
