Hawthorne cruises past West Port (Ocala), 52-20

It didn’t take long for the Hawthorne football team to flex its muscles on Friday night. 

On the first play of the game, Hornets’ quarterback Tyler Jefferson hit wide receiver Chris Jonas on a 75-yard scoring pass.

The Hornets (4-0), ranked No. 5 in Class 1A, rode the wave from there in building a 26-0 lead at the end of the first quarter en route to a 52-20 win at home against Class 8A West Port (Ocala)
