Hornets seek to strengthen second-half performances

The Fulton Hornets beat the Marshall Owls 10-8 on Sept. 16, 2011.

So as the Hornets prepare for this season's tilt against the Owls - scheduled to kick off at 7 tonight at Marshall - it might surprise some that head coach Pat Kelley isn't trying to draw too much from the previous win, Fulton's only victory in its last 13 North Central Missouri Conference contests.

For one thing, Kelley wasn't happy with how the team's momentum built from there in 2011.
