Maverick Jones is another player who witnessed Hawthorne’s culture from afar and decided to become a part of it and transferred from Williston
As such, Friday was an emotional game for him, but he handled it well with a big touchdown grab

This is why a lot of people including FHSAA Staff wanted human oversight on the Open Division. FHSAA Board of Directors went with the direction of letting the rankings settle it for year one. Will we get human eyes as part of the whole process in 2027? FHSAA meetings later this school year will tell us that answer. #flhsfb
Sooooo @FHSAA put out rankings on Monday. So did MaxPreps…
Today MaxPreps @MaxPreps changed those rankings which are shown in image 3 and 4…
We might witness some very weird stuff down the stretch by these rankings. This makes NO SENSE…… Letting a system that nobody gets transparency on define the Top 8 is ludicrous. This is literally screenshots from Monday to Today!!!
