Now, the Hornets seek to have perhaps their biggest win in recent history as they attempt to take down defending UIL 4A Division II champion Carthage in a key District 8-4A Division II contest. Athens travels east to Panola County to take on a Bulldog squad that continues to be clicking on all cylinders.<\/p>\n

Athens, which brought back 10 starters on offense from a team that finished 8-3 a season ago, comes in having won four straight games, the latest a 52-8 win against Brownsboro in its district opener. The Hornets\u2019 lone defeat came by a single point against Kaufman in the second game of the season.<\/p>\n

Carthage, meanwhile, picked right up where the Bulldogs left off last season. They are 6-0 on the season, and are coming off a 60-14 win at Center in last week\u2019s district opener.<\/p>\n
