Hornets Football Season Preview

Well, well, well Hornets fans its time for the 2010 Delaware State Football season to begin starting this Sunday vs Southern University in the MEAC/SWAC Challenge.

Now everyone knows that I'm so hyped up about the upcoming season but most Hornets fans already at a cause for concern because the Hornets football team are having trouble winning games ever since they won the MEAC Championship back in 2007.

Ever since the Hornets won the MEAC title, the Hornets arehave a combine record of  9-13, plus there are some games the Hornets should've been won but end up in losses.

This season the Hornets only have eight starters returning on offense & defense and a whole lot of young players who will either start or be back up for the first time this season.

After last year's toughest schedule the Hornets still have a challenging year this year by playing FAMU, Coastal Carolina, Hampton, Morgan State, North Carolina A&T at homecoming and two time defending MEAC Champion South Carolina State.

Hornets head coach Al Lavan knows what kind of season his football team will get into thats why he had selected five captians to lead the Hornets this year.

On offense it will quarterback Anthony Glaud, who threw over 1,200 yards last year and ran for five touchdowns, offensive lineman Darryl Hicks, and wide receiver Lerrone Moore.

On the defensive side of the ball it will be defensive tackle Andre Carrol and cornerback Francis Adjei.

With a whole lot of young players on this team, the Hornets will face adversary once again. Even though the Hornets won't win the MEAC chmapionship this year, I'm pretty sure the Hornets will finished the season with a winning record of either five or six wins this season.
