The Pelahatchie Chiefs faced a familiar challenge Thursday night as they fell to the Lake Hornets, 32-24, repeating the outcome of their matchup back in September 2024. From the opening kickoff, Lake showed an aggressive and well-coordinated offense, putting Pelahatchie on their heels and forcing the Chiefs to play catch-up throughout much of the game.
Despite the loss, Pelahatchie showed flashes of resilience. Their offense managed to move the ball effectively at times, and the Chiefs found the end zone multiple times, keeping the game within reach. However, turnovers and missed opportunities in critical moments prevented them from closing the gap. On the defensive side, Pelahatchie had to contend with Lake’s balanced attack, which combined both a strong rushing game and effective passing, making it difficult to contain their momentum.
The defeat dropped Pelahatchie’s record to 3-5, leaving them with limited margin for error as the season winds down. Lake, on the other hand, secured their third consecutive victory, improving to 5-3 and demonstrating steady progress as the playoffs approach.
Looking ahead, Pelahatchie will aim to rebound when they host Scott Central at 7:00 p.m. on October 24. They will need to tighten up both sides of the ball to regain momentum. Lake will travel a slightly different route, welcoming Pisgah that same evening, with hopes of extending their winning streak and building confidence heading deeper into the season.
