Scotlandville Hornets Making Waves in Summer Camp: A New Hope for 2024
The Hornets’ summer camp has been nothing short of impressive, highlighted by their recent victory in the 2nd Annual Jimmy Williams Classic. This win in the 7-on-7 tournament has not only boosted team morale but also set high expectations for the upcoming season
BATON ROUGE, La. — After a challenging 2023 season, the Scotlandville Hornets are gearing up for a major comeback in 2024, and early signs suggest that this year could be very different from the last.
The Hornets’ summer camp has been nothing short of impressive, highlighted by their recent victory in the 2nd Annual Jimmy Williams Classic. This win in the 7-on-7 tournament has not only boosted team morale but also set high expectations for the upcoming season.
One of the most exciting developments for Scotlandville is the strength of their offensive line. With four returning starters from last year, the Hornets have a solid foundation upfront. This experienced line will be crucial in protecting new quarterback Jannar Green, who is making headlines with his strong arm and impressive work ethic. Green, though he didn’t see much action last season, has been making the most of his opportunity to lead the Hornets and is earning praise from coaches for his dedication and potential.
Green will have a top target in the formidable 4-star wide receiver Ferzel Shepard, who recently committed to Mississippi State. Shepard, along with the rest of the wide receiver group known as “The Rack Boys,” is expected to play a major role in the Hornets’ offensive schemes. His combination of speed, agility, and playmaking ability positions him as a key factor in the team’s success.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Hornets are focusing on improving fundamentals and integrating new players into the system. The defense has shown significant improvement during the summer camp, with players honing their techniques and increasing their cohesion. New coaching strategies are beginning to take hold, and there’s a noticeable uptick in defensive performance as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
With the momentum from their summer successes and a roster that’s shaping up to be stronger and more cohesive, the Scotlandville Hornets are emerging as a team to watch for the 2024 season. Their preparation and progress so far suggest that a turnaround from last year’s struggles is well within reach.
