Coach Hunter after the game: “That win shows the grit of our team. It shows how tough our guys play. It’s a testament to our team, our guys and our coaches.” The Hornets were led by star RB Rayshon Smith, who finished the game with 225 rushing yards and four TDs on 47 carries.

Before the FG, Coach Hunter called a timeout and told his team, “We’re already in the playoffs. We have nothing to lose; go block the kick.” To his credit, his players delivered. Great win for Gatesville and a ton of positive momentum going into the playoffs for the Hornets.
