The Athens Hornets are taking a road trip to challenge the Pleasant Grove Hawks at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, the two teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Friday, Athens made easy work of Brownsboro and carried off a 6-2 win. Considering the Hornets have won nine games by more than three goals this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, Pleasant Grove waltzed into their contest on Tuesday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They came out on top against the Panthers by a score of 4-2. That's two games straight that the Hawks have won by exactly two goals.
Athens is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-6 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 22 goals over those four games. Pleasant Grove's victory bumped their record up to 7-9.
Athens suffered a grim 7-0 defeat to Pleasant Grove in their previous matchup back in March of 2023. Can Athens avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
