Hornets survive missteps, resist Tigers in shootout

Fulton accumulates 476 yards of total offense, improves to 2-0

A 65-yard touchdown pass negated by an unnecessary block downfield.

Sure, it was a bummer for the man on the receiving end, Fulton senior wideout Dalton Horstmeier.

"I can't lie, I was pretty disappointed," Horstmeier said with a smirk. "But it was stats, individual stats, and it's a team sport and we won, so that's all that matters."

Horstmeier did his share of damage in his first football game in almost two years, racking up 100 yards and two touchdowns on a team-high eight receptions as the Hornets outlasted the Versailles Tigers in a 44-33 offensive show Friday night.
