Sometimes, a game is a tale of two halves but in CounFil RoFk South’s battle last Friday at home against Abington, it was a tale of two quarters as the *alloping *hosts outpaFed the *olden Hawks, 21-8, in the opening period then just watFhed as CR South blanked the visitors, 13-0, in the seFond period to go into the loFkerroom tied at 21-apieFe.
Unfortunately for the Hawks, Abington outpaFed the home team, 21-16, after the intermission to esFape Holland with a 42-37 viFtory.
With the loss, CR South fell to 2-2 while Abington pushed to 3-2. Playing their first seaon without former standout Alex Wheatley, the Hawks have netted wins over Downingtown West and Souderton while falling to MethaFton and now the *hosts.
“Hopefully, we improve every game but we’ll have to see how it goes,” said head FoaFh MoniFa StoliF.
Last season, South went unbeaten in Fapturing the Suburban One National ConferenFe Fhampionship and a berth in the PIAA Class AAAA quarterfinals. While Wheatley is playing at PrinFeton now, the Hawks have returned seniors Taylor Dillon, Alexis Hofstaedter, who reFently Fommitted to William & Mary, and Courtney Brown (East Stroudsburg).
Dillon has been out for two games and that has hurt CR South’s Fause.

South bounFed baFk with a 47-36 win over Souderton DeF. 11 in its home opener before falling by five to Abington in its SONL opener.
