On Tuesday, January 28, the Hornets wrapped up the regular season on the road against the Opp High School Bobcats. Bullock County came out with a trapping defense that made it tough for the Bobcats to score inside, while the Hornets attacked the paint and found easy baskets. The tempo slowed down in the second quarter, with both teams managing just eight points apiece. Despite the low-scoring stretch, the Hornets took a 29-14 lead into halftime.
Shadow came to the shelter as an abuse case starved and chained on a four feet leash. He weighed an alarming 23.5 pounds! But just Look at Shadow now! He’s looking great with that weight on him! He’s a loving, sweet guy who just wants to show you how grateful he is to be off the chain! Shadow has been neutered. He is up to date on all of his shots. He is on flea and heartworm prevention. He is heartworm-negative and ready to go to his forever home. He’s also dog-friendly!
