We all know by now that the 2020 high school football season was tough on everyone who took part this year.
As it was the worst of times – working around this pandemic – it was actually the best of times for Hawthorne High and head coach <strong>Cornelius Ingram.</strong>
<img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-108677" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/02/OntheSideline-Logo-3-300x188.jpg" alt="Hawthorne Football" width="300" height="188" />In advancing to the state championship game for the first time under its most famous alumnus, who starred at the University of Florida and in the NFL, this program lost to unbeaten Baker, but in the process gained confidence in this program.
Finishing 10-3, the Hornets used those losses to Starke-Bradford County, Zephyrhills and to Baker in the 1A title game as a learning tool for the future.
That future includes Class of 2022 returnees<strong> Kylyn Bryant</strong> (OL, 6-5, 330), <strong>Cameron Cohens</strong> (Athlete, 5-10, 170), <strong>Charles Mackey </strong>(QB, 5-11, 170), <strong>Anthony Morgan</strong> (WR, 6-1, 170), <strong>Jamal Nealy</strong> (WR, 6-0, 175) and <strong>Jayquan William</strong> (LB, 6-2, 255).
Class of 2023 underclassmen that this program will count on includes <strong>Travon Clark</strong> (DB, 6-1, 175), <strong>Stanley Cooks</strong> (DT, 6-3, 280), <strong>Brian James</strong> (RB, 5-8, 165), <strong>Terrell James</strong> (Athlete, 5-9, 160), <strong>Darian Owens</strong> (OL/DL, 6-3, 280), impressive <strong>Mozell Williams</strong>, OT, 6-6, 330 and <strong><em>Player of the Year</em> Jailen Ruth</strong> (OLB, 6-4, 190).
Freshman <strong>Jordin Fluellen</strong> (DB, 5-10, 155) has been impressive this off-season.
