Getting ready for the Bobcats, Pruitt said his team has had some good practices.

The Hurricanes are fresh off of a 28-0 win over the Berrien High Rebels.

Fitzgerald’s overall leader on both sides of the ball this year has been Jemea Thomas.

The junior has rushed for 464 yards on 42 carries and has caught seven passes for 120 yards.

He also has several big plays on defense.

“Jemea has been all over the place for us,” said Pruitt.

Defensively in that game, Pruitt praised the play of Malcolm Lundy, Scotty Thomas, Jamal Terrell and Anthony Brooks.

Trenton Pruitt, Brad Taylor, R.J. Davis and Alan Sandiford were among the players the Fitzgerald coach mentioned on offense.

Davis has seven catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns from his tight end position, while Sandiford has been the team’s starting center.

“Those are two key spots and both of those guys are sophomores and they have done a good job this year,” said Pruitt.

Taylor has completed 36-of-70 passes for 444 yards from his quarterback spot. Trenton Pruitt, the coach’s son, has caught 15 passes for 128 yards and has 268 yards on 39 carries.
