Fan’s guide to this year’s East Hamilton Hurricanes
Coach: Ted Gatewood (9-22 in four years here, 55-46 in his 13 years) Stadium address: 2015 Ooltewah-Ringgold Road, Ooltewah, TN 37363
Three strengths
1) The offense returns nine starters, many of them up front, but the Hurricanes abandoned a two-quarterback offense and settled on Hunter Moore, who’s back after throwing for 848 yards while gaining experience.
2) Running back Logan Jackson was slowed by ankle and shoulder injuries and missed most of the final three games. It cost him his second straight 1,000-yard season, but he is back to take full advantage of a run-oriented power offense.
