2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

CUSHING BEARKATS

2019 Record: 1-9 Overall; 0-5 District

6th Place in District 10-2A-I

 

It was definitely a year of struggle for the Cushing Bearkats as the usually solid program garnered just one victory in 2019 and failed to gain a single district win.  To reverse that in 2020, head coach Josh Moore will count on some experience on both sides of the ball as the Bearkats again compete in Class 2A, Division II. 

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Josh Moore

Assistant Coaches: Craig Fuller, Jeremy Tamez, Scott Holzhauer, Jason Davis

 

OFFENSE

Six starters return to the Cushing offense in 2020.  Vying for the quarterback position will be senior Ava Dawson and sophomore Eddie Davis.  Junior Cade Willis will shoulder the Bearkat rushing load.  Senior River Yates will lead the Cushing receiver corp.  Junior linemen Brandon French and Keyshawn Rollison will lead the Bearkat offensive line.

 

DEFENSE

Five starters return to the Cushing defense in 2020.   Rollison and junior defensive end Jasper Stiled will pace the Cushing defensive line.  Willis ( 2nd team all-district) will be the unquestioned leader of the Bearkat defense from his linebacker spot where he will be joined by Davis.  Yates and junior cornerback Tony Aparicio will anchor the Cushing secondary.

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

Special teams assignments will be finalized during fall practice.
