Despite 0-2 start, Hornets’ circle staying tight

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The first two games of the Brian Jenkins-era at Alabama State have gone by the same unfortunate script.

The Hornets (0-2, 0-1 SWAC) have held first-quarter leads in games against Tennessee State and Alcorn State, only to see them slip away.

Despite Saturday’s 31-14 loss to Alcorn State, Jenkins said he feels that enough people surrounding the program believe in a change of fortunes.

“Our fans, our alumni, everyone is behind this program,” Jenkins said after the game. “They stayed all the way until the end and that really touched me. I can’t say thank you enough to them. We’re going to keep working as a team and I hope they continue to support us.”

Jenkins said he has preached the word family to his players and the fans from Day 1. Despite the 0-2 start, Jenkins said feels his team is closer than before.
