The Greenhill Hornets will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Mercy Culture Prep Royals at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Given that both suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
Greenhill is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They were just a hair shy of victory on Friday and fell 29-28 to Trinity Christian.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from William Black, who threw for 386 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 30 yards. Greenhill also relied on Black, who's 52-yard boot wound up being the difference in the game. Bryson Watt was Black's top target, picking up 136 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Mercy Culture Prep was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fifth straight loss. They were outmatched by Covenant on the road and fell 46-0.
Mercy Culture Prep's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. The picks came courtesy of Jude Michalski and Cade Cortina. Cortina's also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making three total tackles and defending a pass in addition to snagging an interception.
