Chase Wilson (2) runs against Vestavia Hills in last year's spring game.
The Chelsea Hornets, coming off a strong football campaign in 2014, will host Vestavia Hills in a spring game Thursday night beginning at 7 p.m. at Richard Conkle Stadium.
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.
