Hornets knock off undefeated Troy

The Wellsboro Varsity Football team made a statement win on Friday, October 9 as they beat previously undefeated Troy 14-12.

Coming off a heartbreaking one point loss to Athens the week prior, the young Hornets and head coach Matt Hildebrand knew they had to respond.

“It shows a lot of character from our guys after last week,” Hildebrand. “We had a great week of practice, probably our best week of practice all year and it translated really well tonight. We were in a similar situtation defensively late in the game like last week. We learned from last week and we came up with huge stops. Troy is a team that really hasn’t been stopped this year and the defense just played great. To hold (Ben) Sherman the and offense, hats off to the kids.”
