GALLIPOLIS — When the Coal Grove Hornets decide to "cut to the Chase," they mean they're going to give the ball to Chase Hall.
The Hornets' junior running back carried the ball 36 times for w30 yards and scored 3 touchdowns in a 34-25 Ohio Valley Conference win over the Gallipolis Blue Devils on Friday.
Hall was a key reason the Hornets ran the ball 52 times for 331 yards and finished with 376 total yards. Steven Simpson added 56 yards on 10 carries.
Gallipolis (2-2, 0-1) was playing for the first time in four weeks after sitting out the past three games due to COVID restrictions.
