Athens had won five straight at home, but on Friday they bumped up to 8-2 to make it six. They really took it to the Bullard Panthers for the full four quarters, racking up a 77-43 win. The Hornets' offense stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most points they've scored all season.
Athens' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but CHARLI KISER led the charge by rushing for 93 yards and a pair of touchdowns on only eight carries. David Richardson was another key player, gaining 150 total yards.
As for Bullard, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-7. While losing is never fun, they can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 726th, while Athens is ranked 269th).
When it comes to explaining why Bullard lost, don't look at Micah Skaggs. Despite the final result, he threw for 133 yards and two TDs on only 12 passes, and also rushed for 64 yards.
Looking ahead, Athens will challenge Gilmer at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. That game will pit two of the most dominant signal callers against one another: Richardson and Zade Taylor. Bullard does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
