#CFC50 Jacob Hespeler Hawks (WCSSAA – Cambridge, ON)

After a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to the Resurrection Phoenix in the CWOSSA final last season, the Hawks are ready for redemption.

Veteran Head Coach Greg White says he and his team are expecting a competitive conference, as WCI, PHS, SSS, EDSS and KCI should all be strong.

This year’s Hawks can be described as fast.

“We play fast and have players that possess quality speed,” said Coach White.

This year’s starting quarterback, Jackson White, leads a “no huddle, up tempo” offence, while the defence side of the ball is aggressive and swarming.

Other to-watch-for Hawks are OL/DL Jake Sarmazian and LB Jared Beeksma.

“Stay healthy and compete with with the top teams in the province,” commented Coach White on the team’s expectations for this season.
