From the opening kickoff, Hoover High School was in control of their matchup against Bessemer City. With stellar play on both sides of the ball, the Buccaneers overpower Bessemer 48-7.
A string of explosive plays set the tone for Hoover, energizing the entire team. To start the game, Marlon Humphrey had an 83-yard kickoff return. Then on the first play of the second quarter, P.J. Hall returned an interception to make the score 14-0 Bucs. Hall’s interception was just one of three picks returned for a touchdown.
Offensively, the Bucs did not require much since their defense and special teams combined for 28 points. Still, junior running back Bradrick Shaw had himself a day, rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries.
This win marks Hoover’s 21st consecutive victory. Now at 6-0, the Bucs sit on top of Alabama football and 12th in the DigitalSports National Football Rankings.
