 The Phelps Hornets are coming into 2016 off of two consecutive winless seasons. But for the first time in a while, the Hornets are feeling a buzz, no pun intended, as they now have both a new field and a new coach. And former Belfrey and UK star David Jones, who says the new field has been a great reward for older players and renewed some energy for the program. Yeah, I mean, it's very exciting, you know, more or less for these kids who, you know, stayed here throughout the whole process. And, you know, now they've got, they've been awarded a great facility, great field, you know, it's just a blessing to see the smile on these kids' faces. They've been out here all summer long, you know, working out and all that good stuff and, you know, the number show. Coach Jones knows despite the new amenities for the Hornets it's still an uphill climb for the program and the players and coaches know success may not be instant but the hard work will pay off in the long run and the players are already putting in the man hours in the weight room. It's going to take some time to build this program and as a coaching staff we understand that but, you know, as what we're putting into our players, you know, they understand, hey, we got to win now, you know, and they want to win and they're so hungry and we've had 26 kids all summer long in the weight room and it's not even been mandatory. According to a few Phelps seniors the new season holds excitement for the community but the goal for the Hornets is still clear. It's waited so long just to get to the field. I just, our first games were going to be crazy because the new field is here, it'll be packed out. People have to walk here. People live behind, I mean, a legacy and Phelps St. Loser is no more. Put our community on the map again. Reporting for EKB News, I'm Scott Robinson.
