Hokes Bluff improved from 1-9 in
2013 to 3-7 last year and the Eagles
are looking to take another step
forward in 2015. The numbers, as
always, are good at the Bluff with
64 players on the roster heading
into the start of fall practice. Those
numbers include 12 seniors and four
returning starters on each side of
the ball. Key returnees for the Eagles
include the backfield combination of
tailback Cam Downey and fullback
Trey Hutchins, and offensive
lineman Levi Nunnally. The strength
of this Eagle team should be the
secondary, where three of four
starters return, led by corners Hayes
Evans and Bradley Pruett and strong
safety Fisher Simmons. Pruett is
also an excellent placekicker/punter
and should be one of the top kickers
in the area. Returning starter Adam
Patterson bolsters the defensive
front, is the long snapper, and will
play along the offensive line as well.
Eagle Coach Mike Robertson says
the Bluff had a good spring with few
injuries, including a jamboree win
over West End. Robertson notes that
the upcoming junior class is very
good with 20 plus players and good
talent. Coach Robertson points to
Cleburne County, Saks, Jacksonville,
and an improved Cherokee County
team as the top teams in Class 4A,
Region 6.
