There’s likely to be a buzz in the air on Saturday, Sept. 10, when the Lincoln Hornets swarm into Pete Ross Stadium for the annual home “Kick-Off” triple-header. The Hornets finished 7-7 last year, but that doesn’t tell the Hornet story. While only finishing 2-3 in the tough Eastern League, the Hornets came alive after entering the playoffs with a 4-6 overall record. They dispatched San Diego (66-0), Ramona (41-28) and St. Augustine (29-26) before losing to Cathedral Catholic in the Div. III CIF Championships in December in Qualcomm Stadium. Since then, former Lincoln head coach Ron Hamamoto has left for a position on the staff at San Diego Mesa College, but he didn’t leave first-year coach David Dunn with a shortage of talent. Notable are twins Tyrell and Tyree Robinson. Tyrell (WR/LB) and Tyree (WR/DB) are both top-level talents. The Hornets are strong at all skill positions. On the line, Nneko Reese Henry (OL/DL, 295 pounds) and Jordan Letuli (OL/DL, 315 pounds) hold their own. Quarterback TaJon Mondy is a veteran team leader. The Hornets did not play in last week’s season opener so the team will be facing its first real test of the season against the Pointers.
