Mercer County Co-Champs At Last! Hard work and determination on the part of the Hornet football team, under head coach Jim Bestwick, led to an exciting season for both players and fans. The season opened with the Hornets meeting top-ranked Titusville, which ended up in a tie. The team then went on to win six of their next eight games. The end of the season came with an emotional loss to Kennedy Christian, but the year as a whole was a success, as Hickory tied for first place in Mercer County with Greenville. The heart-breaker turned out to be the opening tie, which, because of the complicated point system used, placed them in second place behind Greenville in the Northwest Conference. The season record of 6-3-1 was made possible through the ef- forts of all the players. They were led by quarterback Bob Habel, and seniors Tim Osborne, Bill Crum- bacher, Dick Becker, Todd Spears, Art Gough and George Koukis. ,- .
