Cardinals, Hawks lose season openers

Potts Camp and Holly Springs hit the road Friday night and lost their first games of the season in different fashions.

The Cardinals were tied with Strayhorn at 16 in the second half before falling 2824.

“We just couldn’t get a stop when we needed it,” said head coach Chris Daniels. “The kids played hard. We have to eliminate mistakes.”

Potts Camp missed some crucial opportunities to put points on the board, including a touchdown called back due to a penalty.
