Last year Hitchens combined to run and pass for 1,400 yards and a dozen scores. Terrance Gude and Travoris Womack are key receivers. On defense LBs Willie Moore, Jordan Richardson and Desnarian Willis lead the way. The largest school in the district has talent, and the opportunity to better last season's 5-5 year.
