Chelsea hosts Vestavia in spring game

The Chelsea Hornets, coming off a strong football campaign in 2014, hosted Vestavia Hills in a spring game Thursday, May 7.

The game ended with Vestavia winning 14-7.

Last season, Chris Elmore's Hornets went 6-4, narrowly missing the Class 6A playoffs. They rolled out to a 5-0 record but couldn't quite pull off another region win to make the playoffs. Several key players are expected to return for the 2015 season.

Vestavia Hills, coached by AHSAA Hall of Famer Buddy Anderson, managed to get the legendary coach the state all-time wins record in what was otherwise a disappointing season. The Rebels went 3-7 and missed the 7A playoffs.
