OUTLOOK
Jason McMains took over for Eric Zomalt as head coach in the offseason. Zomalt led the Hawks to three section championships and one state title in his nine seasons.
The Hawks must replace their quarterback, but return two very capable rushers in AJ Porter and Andrew Brooks. We’ll know a lot more about how McMains wants his team to play after their August 30 opener vs. Palm Springs.
