Oak Hall (Gainesville) Eagles (Independent)
2013 Record: 1-9
Head Coach: Scott McDaniel
Key Players: Robert Yancey (OL/DL, Sr.), Alec Sharkey (G/T, Sr.), Matt Davis (TE/DE, Jr.), Chase Trunnell (QB/LB, So.), Jackson Carey (RB/LB, So.), Spencer Moreno (WR/DB, Jr.)
Outlook: With only sever upper classmen (three seniors and four juniors) on a roster of 24, the Eagles will be young once again. The good news is that many of those underclassmen got valuable experience during an eventful 2013 season. That experience will hopefully allow the young guys to grow up quickly and lead the Eagles this season.
Trunnell, Carey, Michael Akey (29 tackles as a freshman), Chance Mayo, Dillon Whittle, and Michael Fortner are all talented sophomores who will be counted on to play big roles on both sides of the ball. Trunnell was the team’s second leading rusher last year and also threw for 524 yards and six TDs. Sharkey and Yancey will anchor the offensive and defensive lines along with Davis, while Moreno will lead a young group of receivers and defensive backs.
