The Frazee Hornets dropped a pair of games in the Heart O’ Lanes Conference last week to Breckenridge and Barnesville.

The pair of losses drops the Hornets to 11-11 overall and 3-4 in the conference as they look to rebound this week against Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton on Monday night in their HOL finale, before traveling to Battle Lake on Tuesday to take on the Battlers in non-conference action.

The Section 8AA tournament kicks off next week, and depending on the outcome of the games this week, the Hornets could be at home in the opening round of the tournament.
