The fate of Hornets in 2005 will rest in the hands of Division I prospect Robert Soleyjacks, who wil be primarilly on the field a majority of the time at tail back, defensive end and kick return. A challenge for the Hornets will come at the hands of a four game road schedule. If they can come out of the non-district road trip with their heads up and a have a little momentum, expect to see this team in the hunt for a potential playoff spot come district play.
