Spirit Follows AHS To Regional Trophy I'm a Mama Hornet. I love No. - Orange spirit stickers flooded the Zalma Gymnasium during the Regional Tournament, and proved prophetic, as the Hornets buzzed their way through the Regional Tournament on their way to State. The only time the Hornets' wings fluttered was when they met a tough Viburnum team Nlarch 6. The score of that game was 59-46. Before, Advance downed St. Vincent's of Cape 117-26, Meadow Heights, 90-60, and Delta, 62-38. When the Regional's final buzzer sounded, shouts of Columbia, here we come! filled the gymnasium, and an ebullient Hornet triumphantly claimed the net for the school's trophy case. 37 i? 7 ,
