ADDISON, Ala.- Addison hosted Holly Pond in boys and girls matches on Monday night, and the Bulldogs were hoping to exact some revenge on the Broncos since they swept them just a handful of days ago. That wouldn’t happen, however, as Holly Pond soundly defeated both Bulldog teams. The Lady Broncos obliterated the Lady Bulldogs 57-21, while the Broncos kicked the mud out of the Bulldog boys 56-27 and neither game felt even as close as the final score indicated.
