Kaleb Freeman was the offensive standout of the contest as he threw for 187 yards and one touchdown on only 12 passes, and also rushed for 35 yards. His passing game has become a key predictor of Hoover's success: the team is 5-1 when his passer rating is 100 or higher, but only 1-2 otherwise. Jonah Winston also made an appearance on special teams (luckily for the Buccaneers): his a 55-yard strike wound up winning them the game.

Special teams also played a big role in the game for Hoover, adding 15 points to the final score. All came from James Bryant: he went 4-for-4 kicking field goals for 12 points, and 3-for-3 kicking extra points for an additional three.

As for Thompson, their defeat was their first in the region, dropping their region record down to 5-1 and their overall record down to 6-3. The defensive woes were uncharacteristic for they, who until this game were averaging 12.89 points allowed.
