Hornets can't cash in on momentum

BOONVILLE - There were some welcome firsts for the Fulton Hornets on Friday night against the Boonville Pirates.

Offensively, the Hornets scored an opening-drive touchdown for the first time this season and produced a season-high in points.

Still, breaking through there didn't help Fulton, ultimately, break into the win column. The Hornets' old nemesis - the second-half rut - re-appeared and stopped the party, keeping Fulton winless in a 47-21 North Central Missouri Conference loss to Boonville.
