The Dallas County Hornets got in the win column for the first time in the 2025 season on Friday night after they defeated Sumter Central 36-6 in Plantersville.

Amari England also scored for the Hornets as he finished with 36 yards on three carries.

Roberson finished with nine solo tackles followed by Woods with six tackles and Christopher Rothchild with five tackles. Woods had three tackles for loss including two sacks while Ar’Jai Jones added two sacks. Rothchild, Crusoe and Hamilton all had a tackle for loss each.
