Longtime coach Brian Brazil of the local Hebron High School has turned in his keys and embraced retirement, oddly enough in the middle of the season. He turned to one of the star players he coached years ago in Cole Maxwell, who happens to be playing professional football in Dallas, to take over for one game in the interim while a suitable and more permanent replacement is found. In his lone game as coach, Cole will be leading his hometown Hawks during Homecoming Week against the nearby Colony High School cougars. A first time coach, but longtime fan of the game, Coach Cole's approach is to implement an aggressive 5-2-4 defense aimed at generating maximum pressure in the passing game and suffocating the run game. On offense the plan is simple, hand the reigns over to the existing offensive coordinator and let him do his thing. With the excitement of having a real pro on the field as their coach and the shift in defensive philosophy, the Hawks come out hot on defense and never slow down, holding the Cougars to only ten points in the game while generating four turnovers and a defensive touchdown on their way to a solid 23-10 victory. During the post game press Coach Cole insists on giving all credit to the players and the existing staff, citing their hard work during the off-season and their commitment during the season to this point as the reason for the victory and quashing any rumors that he would be continuing in his capacity as head coach for Hebron during this time. He did leave the possibility open for a return to the Hawk's staff after his playing days were done though...
