Fulton loose, ready to battle Chillicothe

The loose attitude at the Fulton Hornets' practice Tuesday afternoon would indicate this is a group that isn't feeling a whole heap of pressure.

Ask Fulton head coach Pat Kelley how is squad is feeling heading into Class 3, District 6 play and he'll confirm as much.

"Everyone is in that situation," Kelley said. "I don't know that it's pressure, I just think it's you go and play the game.

"It's not any different."

Fifth-seeded Fulton (4-5) is down its starting quarterback - senior Joe Schlemeier - and has dropped its last four games as it begins District 6 play tonight at No. 5 Chillicothe (4-5) in a battle between Hornets. Kickoff is set for 7.
